Previously known as Aquabio Products Sciences LLC, MariCal is a privately held aquatic life sciences company that develops and licenses innovative solutions addressing the critical problems faced by the world's aquaculture industry for both marine and freshwater organisms. Marical specializes in salmon production. SuperSmolt is the company's main product and is used to reduce costs and enhance feeding patterns of smolt -- young salmon. Marical's compounds are added to the feed and the water at this stage of pre-adult salmon growth to reduce salmon mortality and osmoic shock.Through its breakthrough discoveries, MariCal has isolated the biological "thermostat," or "master switch," that enables fish to sense and respond to nutrients and salinity/ionic composition in their aquatic environment.
