Dalan Receives 2025 TCRS Innovation Award for Groundbreaking Shrimp Vaccine Development.
Industry Recognition Highlights Company's Commitment to Sustainable Seafood Innovation through Bioscience solutions.
We are thrilled to announce that Dalan has been named the 2025 TCRS Innovation Award Winner at The Center for Responsible Seafood (TCRS) Shrimp Summit held in Bali, Indonesia. This prestigious recognition, awarded among eight innovative companies competing for the honor, underscores the significant impact our sustainable aquaculture solutions are making in the global seafood industry.
Global Shrimp Industry Gathers at TCRS Shrimp Summit
At a conference attended by more than 250 industry leaders, researchers, and stakeholders from around the world, Dalan's CEO Dr. Annette Kleiser and Head of Strategy Warren Rickard had the honor of accepting this distinguished award. The recognition came after a competitive evaluation process that showcased the most promising innovations in responsible seafood production.
The TCRS Shrimp Summit serves as a critical gathering point for the aquaculture industry, bringing together thought leaders, researchers, and companies committed to advancing sustainable practices in seafood production. Being selected from seven innovative companies demonstrates the exceptional potential of Dalan's approach to addressing some of the industry's most pressing challenges.
Addressing Critical Industry Challenges
The Innovation Award specifically recognizes Dalan's development of a revolutionary shrimp vaccine that represents a paradigm shift in aquaculture health management. This breakthrough solution aims to be a sustainable, non-chemical alternative to combat some of the most devastating diseases that have plagued the shrimp farming industry for decades.
Two of the most significant threats our vaccine aims to target include:
White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV): A highly contagious viral infection that can cause mortality rates of up to 100% in infected shrimp populations
Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS): A bacterial disease that has caused billions of dollars in losses across global shrimp farming operations
These diseases have historically forced the industry to rely heavily on chemical treatments and antibiotics, creating environmental concerns and contributing to the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance.
A Sustainable Future for Global Aquaculture
The recognition from TCRS reflects the incredible momentum and high demand from global industry leaders for innovative, environmentally responsible aquaculture solutions. As the world's appetite for seafood continues to grow, the need for sustainable production methods becomes increasingly critical.
Dalan's vaccine technology represents more than just a product innovation—it embodies a fundamental shift toward biological solutions that work in harmony with natural systems. By reducing reliance on chemical interventions, our approach supports healthier marine ecosystems while maintaining the economic viability essential for feeding a growing global population.
Looking Ahead
This award serves as validation of our team's dedication to creating a more resilient and sustainable future for global aquaculture. As we continue to advance our shrimp vaccine through development, we remain committed to our mission of providing the industry with tools that protect both marine health and economic sustainability.
We extend our gratitude to The Center for Responsible Seafood and all the industry professionals who continue to champion sustainable innovation in aquaculture. Together, we are building a future where responsible seafood production can meet global demand while preserving the health of our oceans for generations to come.
