Company description
MariHealth Solutions is a marine biotech start-up from South Africa, working to revolutionize the aquaculture healthcare sector. Currently, aquaculture accounts for over half of the seafood consumed globally, and it is projected that this number will rise to 60% by 2030 in order to meet the growing demand for high-protein foods.
