Sustainable solutions require innovation. We have rethought our approach and reimagined new pathways to better serve future needs. We have adapted our internal workflow to accelerate innovation across departments, functions, and geographies to provide innovative feed and services that address market needs.
Our innovation process allows us to move with agility to identify potential suppliers and novel ingredients, and to rapidly commercialise new products and solutions.

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.
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.
BioMar has signed an agreement to acquire full ownership of LetSea, Norway’s leading experimental and research centre for aquaculture by taking over the remaining shares from KapNor.
Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) are a crucial freshwater aquaculture species in China, facing challenges like high water temperatures that cause significant economic losses. One promising solution is using functional feeds with natural antioxidants.
BioMar’s Tech Centre is a unique pilot-scale feed production facility that services our entire global R&D and production network, ensuring the high performance and quality of our innovative and sustainable aquaculture feeds.
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.
The Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) is an independent, not-for-profit organization that operates a voluntary, independent third-party certification and labelling programme based on scientifically robust Standards.
In marine fish larval rearing, the early stages are crucial for determining juvenile health, quality, robustness, and performance during on growing. This initial period is influenced by a complex interplay of factors, including egg quality, environmental conditions, and feeding and nutrition.
In the past, trimmings, viscera, and heads from fisheries were often discarded as waste. However, these side-stream products, are recognized as valuable resources that can contribute to sustainable aquaculture. While the utilization of pelagic fish side-stream products is well-established, side-stream products from whitefish remain underutilized.
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
BioMar first introduced microalgae omega-3 into commercial salmon feeds in 2016 after three years of R&D and planning.
