Better Feed

The next generation of insect meals

In partnership with Agronutris we are developing the next generation of black soldier fly meals specifically designed for the needs of the aquaculture industry.

Smart Upcycling - Reducing nutrient waste improves carbon footprint

Innovation within circular marine supply chains is reducing BioMar’s carbon footprint. BioMar’s continuous improvement on reducing wild caught fish in our aquafeeds has launched several new partnerships and investments in the circular economy.

Effect of different crude protein and lipid levels on growth and feed conversion in Yellowtail Kingfish.

Yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi) is a highly valued marine species known for its rapid growth and high market price. Predominantly farmed in sea cages in regions such as Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Mexico, this species is now being explored for recirculating aquaculture systems in Europe and the USA.

BioMar inaugurates new Hatchery R&D facility

BioMar’s Aquaculture Technology Centre at Hirtshals Denmark opened a new wing dedicated to research and development in the hatchery segment. The LARVIVA Hatchery Hub trial facility was officially opened by BioMar’s CEO Carlos Diaz.

Does iron supplementation improve post-smolts Atlantic salmon performance and health in today’s practical diets?

Iron (Fe) is a crucial trace mineral involved in various biochemical processes in fish. For Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.), the dietary iron requirement ranges from 60 to 160 mg/kg. However, these requirements were established using purified diets with highly bioavailable iron forms, and may not reflect the needs in practical diets where interactions with antinutrients such as phytate can affect iron bioavailability.

Navigating the complexity - Challenges and solutions in implementing sustainable raw materials in commercial aquafeeds

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.

Life-time development

About HSMI and CMS

HSMI and CMS cause extensive financial loss to the industry through increased mortality and reduced growth.

Bacillus supplementation boost Whiteleg Shrimp performance and resistance to osmotic shock and Vibrio parahaemolyticus

The shrimp aquaculture industry faces significant challenges due to suboptimal culture conditions and susceptibility to opportunistic pathogens like Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Given the underdeveloped immune system of shrimp, these factors can lead to high mortality rates and economic losses.

Microalgae to become the primary source for omega 3

BioMar first introduced microalgae omega-3 into commercial salmon feeds in 2016 after three years of R&D and planning.

Skin health and wound problems

The skin and mucous membranes are the only things that separate the inside of the fish from their surroundings.

When innovation pays off

Innovation is the way forward when the goal is to advance our industry towards more efficient, sustainable and profitable business practices.
