Facts about krill

The krill that lives in the Antarctic has adapted to extremely low sea temperatures. It contains unsaturated, long-chain fatty acids that keep the fat in liquid form even at low temperatures. The omega-3 in krill is rich in phospholipids that are efficiently assimilated into cell membranes and produce a higher content of omega-3.

Sustainable

In the same way as BioMar, Aker BioMarine is dedicated to sustainability. We guarantee that the krill used in Quick has been harvested in a responsible manner under strict scientific supervision.

Even though krill is a plentiful natural resource, it is a resource harvested in unspoiled, fragile nature where it plays a key role in the food chain.

Certified

BioMar and Aker BioMarine are significant supporters and sponsors of AWR, the Antarctic Wildlife Research Fund, which finances and promotes research to safeguard the Antarctic ecosystem.

All catches of krill are MSC certified, and the fishing vessels operated by Aker BioMarine in Antarctica have been specially designed to retain the high nutritional quality of the krill during processing on board.

    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.
