3 Long-chain vs short-chain omega-3? Marine: long-chain EPA, DPA, DHA (C20, 22) Strong health benefits Microalgal primary production Plants: short-chain ALA, SDA (C18) Limited health benefits Low conversion, especially to DHA IRC, Saskatoon 2015 James Petrie, CSIRO 3

4 Why long-chain omega-3? Increasing demand from: Ageing populations High-growth economies Dietary supplement markets (especially preventative health) Pharmaceutical pipeline IRC, Saskatoon 2015 James Petrie, CSIRO 4

5 Long-chain omega-3 supply vs demand Rx Prescribed Intake (3550mg/day) [VALUE] 000 tonnes Ocean capacity Japan model 1020 Mortality model 650 WHO model GOED and FAO data Supply Demand models IRC, Saskatoon 2015 James Petrie, CSIRO 5
