Heliae and Syndel announced on Tuesday the signing of an exclusive distribution agreement to supply the aquaculture market with Nymega™, a new DHA precision formulation ingredient for feed formulators. 

The partnership between Heliae and Syndel creates new opportunities to bring algae products to aquaculture feed formulation.  For over 30 years, Syndel has developed and globally marketed aquaculture chemical and pharmaceutical products.  Syndel’s established distribution channels allow Heliae to expand its ability to unlock the potential of algae within the aquaculture feed market. 

“Nymega is a DHA-rich algae that provides a precision tool for targeting DHA levels in feed,” said Len Smith, Chief Business Officer at Heliae.  “Nymega’s simple profile allows formulators to target specific DHA content, providing key benefits across fish species and at multiple growth stages – at a price that is affordable.”  Len continued, “Heliae is proud to partner with Syndel on this product launch.  This agreement allows Heliae to focus on producing algae at low cost.  Syndel’s experience and expertise in product development and marketing will allow this new ingredient reach consumers quickly and efficiently.”

"With continued growth and expansion of aquaculture, the need for high performing and nutritious feeds will be imperative to the industry and their ability to deliver to the consumer a high quality DHA rich finished product,” stated Chris McReynolds, CEO of Syndel.  “Heliae has developed an outstanding sustainable product in Nymega.  Syndel is excited to partner with Heliae on the global market development and sales of this highly effective feed component.”

Heliae and Syndel are showcasing Nymega this week at the Aquaculture America Conference and Exhibition in San Antonio, Texas.   Pending regulatory approval, Nymega will be available early this year.
