During the quarter, the Company invested US$250,000 into BlueNalu Inc. A pioneer in the field of cellular aquaculture™, announced the closing of a $4.5 million seed round, just two months after announcing the launch of the company.  BlueNalu's cellular aquaculture™ process will provide an alternative to current industry practices in which fish are farmed or wild-caught. BlueNalu will ultimately produce real seafood products directly from fish cells, in a way that is healthy for people, humane for animals, and sustainable for our planet.
