Scott Nichols

Scott Nichols is an American inventor and marketer focused on making fish farming more sustainable. Nichols promoted the process of using a yeast rich in essential omega-3s (EPA) as an alternative food source for farmed salmon. Nichols is the recipient of the 2012 SeaWeb Innovation Award and the 2015 IntraFish Seafood International Marketer of the Year Award. He co-founded Verlasso and founded Food's Future. He serves on the board of the Aquaculture Stewardship Council.

Before starting Food's Future, LLC, Nichols sought innovation in fish farming as a businessman and scientist. With the yeast, Nichols delivered a viable salmon diet option other than the practice of relying on wild fish to provide the necessary omega-3s in a salmon's diet. By decreasing the ratio between wild fish consumed for salmon produced, the yeast rich in essential omega-3s reduced the dependency on wild fish. Provided by Wikipedia
