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.

Mechanical delousing and other handling procedures are known to trigger acute stress in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), leading to reduced appetite, growth losses, and a weakened physiological condition.
On the opening day of the Global Shrimp Forum, BioMar, Innovafeed, and Auchan are proud to announce a significant industry commitment: the large-scale integration of insect protein into commercial shrimp feed in Ecuador.
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.
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
In partnership with Agronutris we are developing the next generation of black soldier fly meals specifically designed for the needs of the aquaculture industry.
Marine ingredients are a finite resource, and by including microalgae in aquaculture diets, we can help stabilise the pressure on fish stocks.
BioMar first introduced microalgae omega-3 into commercial salmon feeds in 2016 after three years of R&D and planning.
BioMar introduces CALM the latest offering to complement the SmartCare range of products in Salmon feeds.
BioMar's facility in Brande, Denmark, follows the success of the other production facilities in the UK and in Norway and significantly scales up the inclusion of microalgae into their raw material portfolio.
BioMar’s SmartCare programme is a range of globally proven functional feed solutions for aquaculture species.
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.
