Better Feed results in Better Food for us all
By focusing on what matters BioMar is setting the standard in feed that meets the expectations of farmers and the need for nourishing communities.
The krill that lives in the Antarctic has adapted to extremely low sea temperatures. It contains unsaturated, long-chain fatty acids that keep the fat in liquid form even at low temperatures. The omega-3 in krill is rich in phospholipids that are efficiently assimilated into cell membranes and produce a higher content of omega-3.
In the same way as BioMar, Aker BioMarine is dedicated to sustainability. We guarantee that the krill used in Quick has been harvested in a responsible manner under strict scientific supervision.
Even though krill is a plentiful natural resource, it is a resource harvested in unspoiled, fragile nature where it plays a key role in the food chain.
BioMar and Aker BioMarine are significant supporters and sponsors of AWR, the Antarctic Wildlife Research Fund, which finances and promotes research to safeguard the Antarctic ecosystem.
All catches of krill are MSC certified, and the fishing vessels operated by Aker BioMarine in Antarctica have been specially designed to retain the high nutritional quality of the krill during processing on board.

To help mitigate these challenges and enhance fish health, we're excited to introduce SmartCare CONTROL Gill, the latest addition to our SmartCare portfolio. This groundbreaking product is designed to strengthen gill health and improve fish robustness.
Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) are a crucial freshwater aquaculture species in China, facing challenges like high water temperatures that cause significant economic losses. One promising solution is using functional feeds with natural antioxidants.
In partnership with Agronutris we are developing the next generation of black soldier fly meals specifically designed for the needs of the aquaculture industry.
In today's world, the link between what we eat and how it impacts our health has never been clearer. When it comes to seafood, this connection is even more profound. It's not just "we are what we eat"—but "we are what we eat, eats." The diet of farmed fish and shrimp directly influences their nutritional value, making the quality of aquafeed a crucial factor in ensuring the seafood we consume is nutritious, healthy, and produced responsibly.
BioMar first introduced microalgae omega-3 into commercial salmon feeds in 2016 after three years of R&D and planning.
Aquatic animals are highly adaptable, requiring around 40 essential nutrients that can be sourced from various raw materials, including marine ingredients, animal products, grains, and novel sources. This adaptability is crucial to the industry's growth and will allow for diverse feed formulations
Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, are fundamental to the health and development of both fish and humans. These long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) contribute to optimal growth, robust health, and high-quality fish and shrimp, showing the connection between aquafeeds and the seafood we consume.
In the past, trimmings, viscera, and heads from fisheries were often discarded as waste. However, these side-stream products, are recognized as valuable resources that can contribute to sustainable aquaculture. While the utilization of pelagic fish side-stream products is well-established, side-stream products from whitefish remain underutilized.
Marine ingredients are a finite resource, and by including microalgae in aquaculture diets, we can help stabilise the pressure on fish stocks.
We have partnered with Earthworm Foundation, an international non-profit undertaking social and environmental projects, to drive responsible shrimp projects in Ecuador.
BioMar EMEA introduces SmartCare ROBUST, a new diet that supports the performances of European sea bass during summer periods
