Scott Nichols

}}

Scott Nichols is an American inventor and Marketer who is often considered to be a leader in the effort to make fish farming more sustainable. Nichols was part of the process and promotion of using a yeast rich in essential omega-3s (EPA) as an alternative food source for farmed salmon. Nichols is the recipient of the 2012 SeaWeb Innovation Award, the 2015 IntraFish Seafood International Marketer of the Year Award, a Co-founder of Verlasso, and founder of Food's Future. He serves on the board of the Aquaculture Stewardship Council.

Before starting Food's Future, LLC, his own consulting firm for economically and environmentally sustainable aquaculture ventures, Nichols brought innovation to fish farming as a businessman and scientist. With the yeast, Nichols delivered a viable salmon diet option other than the environmentally unsustainable practice of relying on wild fish to provide the necessary omega-3s in a salmon's diet. By decreasing the ratio between wild fish consumed for salmon produced, the yeast rich in essential omega-3s reduced the dependency on wild fish. Provided by Wikipedia
