Measuring impact is the first step towards reducing it. For years carbon calculations for soy in aquafeed relied on generic data, which does not reflect the reality of responsible farming. In 2019, together with ProTerra, we embarked on a mission to deliver science-backed, verified emissions data for key soy ingredients used in aquafeed.
Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) emissions will be important as the aquaculture industry transitions towards lower-carbon production. These emissions, now tracked under the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), originate from land use and agricultural activities rather than from energy consumption.
The latest research from BioMar has shed light on the aquafeed challenges associated with waterborne feeding systems. This new feeding system technology is gaining traction amongst salmon farmers for its potential to reduce energy consumption, microplastic pollution, and sea lice exposure. While these systems offer promising benefits, BioMar has identified specific factors contributing to nutritional loss in feed delivered through submerged systems.
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.

By focusing on what matters BioMar is setting the standard in feed that meets the expectations of farmers and the need for nourishing communities.
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
Akaroa King Salmon has become the first King Salmon producer globally to adopt the innovative Blue Impact feed program developed by BioMar. This groundbreaking
Despite having an Aboriginal origin name, approximately 60% of barramundi eaten in Australia is imported, and nearly half of Australians are unsure whether their seafood is local or imported.
Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids are essential for the health of fish, shrimp, and the humans who consume them. However, sourcing these crucial nutrients for aquafeed has become increasingly complex.
BioMar’s new vessel set to accelerate Tasmania’s exports to New Zealand.
The French retailer Auchan, feed manufacturer BioMar, Ecuadorian shrimp farmer Edpacif, and international NGO Earthworm Foundation have joined forces to develop a new product line that sets a new standard for responsible shrimp.
BioMar Australia is excited to announce a $15 million-dollar, nation-leading project to construct the first green methanol ready vessel in Australia.
