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.

BioMar has significantly increased the levels of vitamin D3 across all salmon diets. Research findings point to enhanced fish health benefits while increasing the nutritional value of farmed salmon for consumers.
This study explored how different levels of synthetic vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) supplementation influence whole body and fillet vitamin D3 deposition in rainbow trout reared under recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) conditions.

By focusing on what matters BioMar is setting the standard in feed that meets the expectations of farmers and the need for nourishing communities.
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 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.
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.
The global aquafeed industry has undergone a significant transformation over the past two decades, shifting from marine-based ingredients to plant-based raw materials. This transition has linked aquafeed production more closely with the environmental and social impacts of agriculture. Sustainable raw material sourcing is critical, given that aquafeed production accounts for up to 80% of the scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions in salmon farming.
BioMar introduces CALM the latest offering to complement the SmartCare range of products in Salmon feeds.
Managing sea lice infestations in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) aquaculture often involves mechanical treatments that can cause acute stress, reducing feed intake and compromising growth.
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.
Biological delousing with cleaner fish is a forward-looking method and represents a continuous, preventive treatment for salmon louse.
