Success is measured by farms producing and selling commercially meaningful volumes of fish and shrimp raised on marine animal-free feeds, as well as broader adoption of alternative ingredients across aquaculture. 

Success for the F3 Fish Farm challenge, means that alternative ingredients have successfully scaled, prices have lowered, and that aquaculture can continue to grow despite fluctuations in fishmeal and fish oil supply.  It means that there is greater food security and robustness in the production of marine proteins.  It also means that fishing pressure is taken off of the oceans, so that ocean ecosystems can also thrive.

Success also means that feed companies, farms and consumers have an increased awareness that feed ingredients affect food security and environmental sustainability.
