BioSustain

We make sustainability tangible

BioMar understands we need to share our natural resources with the other inhabitants of this planet. Aquaculture should take only our share. That is why we use both certified krill and wild fish, whilst seeking alternative nutrients that don’t take from the human or animal food chain. Helping to ensure there is a tomorrow for us all.

BioMar’s sustainability programme and concept, BioSustain™, helps to drive the uptake of high quality, low-impact raw materials in feed recipes, thereby promoting sustainable aquaculture and responsibly produced seafood.
