The arctic char is rapidly gaining importance in aquaculture both for consumption and for restocking of rivers, where this beautiful fish often gives fishermen a memorable fight. BioMar offers a complete feed programme targetted at this demanding fish specie.
LARVIVA, INICIO Plus and INICIO
The LARVIVA WEAN-EX granulates as well as the INICIO Plus G granulates have shown excellent results in the very first life stages of the arctic char. The small sizes and irregular shapes are well adapted to the often irregular growing pattern of the small arctic char fry. Furthermore, the high physical quality of the granulate ensures that the water remains clear and clean. This helps reducing the risk of illnesses during this critical life stage for the fish.
LARVIVA WEAN-EX is available in sizes from 0.1 mm and INICIO Plus G in sizes from 0.4 mm.
Once the fry grows, the INICIO and INICIO Plus pellets become strong alternatives in order to secure fast and healthy growth.
With INICIO Plus we focus on giving your fry the best possible start in life, and thereby create the basis for a healthy farm economy. As the first feed for arctic char the INICIO Plus now contains a probiotic tested and approved for salmonids.
Our research and trials have proven that the use of probiotics leads to a reduced number of deformities and reduced mortality in fry. In addition to this, studies show that the use of probiotics also enhances the general health status of the fish and increases digestibility of the feed.
In the development process of the INICIO Plus feeds we have emphasized the nutritional stability and high digestibility. Focus on the physical quality with well calibrated sizes as well as absence of dust, gives a minimum of waste, and allow you to obtain a clean and healthy aquatic environment for the fry.
The INICIO Plus feed range comprises extruded pellets from 0.5 mm – the smallest size on the market.
INICIO 917 and INICIO 918 are two alternative feed solutions to INICIO Plus for larger fry and fingerlings. Pellet sizes range from 1.1 mm to 2 mm. INICIO is a classic fry feed which emphasize high growth and low feed consumption.
INICIO Plus, INICIO 917, and INICIO 918 all include BioFocus as standard.

EFICO Enviro 920
The EFICO Enviro 920 is an extruded high energy feed recommended for obtaining fast growth and very low conversion rates under optimal farming conditions.
The EFICO Enviro 920 lives up to the highest environmental standards regards to low emission of phosphorous and nitrogen. High digestibility and the selection of raw materials ensures, that a maximum of the nutrients are utilised by the fish rather than lost to the water – this, as an additional benefit, gives a more healthy environment for the fish in the ponds. The EFICO Enviro 920 is formulated with proteins with very high digestibility and an attractive aminoacid profile.
EFICO Enviro 975
EFICO Enviro 975 is particularly adapted to the nutritional needs of arctic char and the conditions under which it is farmed.
EFICO Enviro 975 has a high content of highly digestible proteins and the formulation of this feed has been developed with special attention to high feed performance even with low water temperatures.
This makes it an optimal feed to secure both optimal growth and the desired quality of the farmed fish.
