AquaCarotene Ltd. is an Australian producer of organically certified dry marine algae that is rich in natural beta-carotene, a naturally occurring substance commonly found in red, orange, and green fruit and vegetables and other antioxidants. Aquacarotene's dry marine algae is made up of whole cells of the micro algae Dunaliella salina and the company has established biomass growth ponds, trial ponds, seawater holding ponds and plant and equipment in Karratha, which is located in North-Western Australia to grow Dunaliella salina. AquaCarotene also occupies two high ground mining leases of approximately 158 ha, which, are expected to generate intermittent revenue from the sale of general fill material currently being recovered. AquaCarotene is currently exploring other uses for its 380 ha of aquaculture lease, including biddies from micro algae and aquaculture. The company is headquartered in West Perth, Australia.
