The Process
Nature's diversity at its best
Fish Force contains a diverse range of deep sea fish waste and by-catch harvested sustainably from Denmark, Albany, Bremer Bay, Gracetown, and Esperance along the pristine Great Southern coast of Western Australia.
We take what won't be used and mix it all together to form a fish mix. This is a fantastic outcome for us and the fish processors as none of the fish goes to landfill.
Then we add some special ingredients
Bacteria
Bacteria are vital in many stages of the nutrient cycle by recycling nutrients such as the fixation of nitrogen from the atmosphere. The nutrient cycle includes the decomposition of dead bodies; bacteria are responsible for the putrefaction stage in this process.
Nematoads
Their numerical dominance, often exceeding a million individuals per square meter and accounting for about 80% of all individual animals on earth, their diversity of lifecycles, and their presence at various trophic levels point to an important role in many ecosystems.
Fungi
Fungi acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi perform an essential role in the decomposition of organic matter and have fundamental roles in nutrient cycling and exchange in the environment.
Protozoa
Organisms traditionally classified as protozoa are abundant in aqueous environments and soil, occupying a range of trophic levels. All protozoans are heterotrophic, deriving nutrients from other organisms, either by ingesting them whole or consuming their organic remains and waste-products.
Humic acid
A new understanding views humic substances as heterogeneous and relatively small molecular components of the soil organic matter auto-assembled in supramolecular associations and composed of a variety of compounds of biological origin and synthesized by abiotic and biotic reactions in soil.
Spongolite
Spongolite is a stone made almost entirely from fossilised sponges. It is light and porous.
Spongolite is obtained from mines in Mount Barker, Western Australia and Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. There are also large deposits near Esperance, Western Australia.
THEN WE FERMENT IT FOR YEARS
What do you get when you add the fish mix, micro organisms, some Humic acid, and Spongolite together? Quite, quite smelly. BUT, if you put it through a complex (cold, non-denatured) fermentation process that takes about 5 years to finish, you get Fish Force: a Fish Hydrolysate that contains all its omega oils, nutrients and a complete amino acid chain.
Fish Hydrolysate is an ideal food for plants and soil biology. Feeding the soil stimulates and multiplies biological activity, including carbon sequestration, which results in better uptake of available Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium (NPK), and minerals by plants.
We've watched a lot of grass grow in that time, but now it's your turn and you don't have to stick with grass. Super satisfied customers have put it on their gardens, orchards, fields, pot plants ... pretty much where ever they are growing plants, really. It's great stuff!
