Aker BioMarine will host stand K 46 at the event, where visitors can engage with Valentina Tapia, the company’s VP Salmon Team, and Marcelo Oyarzun, the Technical Sales Manager for Chile, in conversations about the proven benefits of krill as an aquaculture ingredient. Aker BioMarine is an established player in the Chilean market, present since 2021, and is actively working with Chile’s salmon farmers to support feed nutrition and sustainability across the industry.

“Aqua Sur is an important meeting point for us and a great opportunity to engage with our industry peers and talk about relevant topics like aquaculture nutrition, sustainability, as well as overall efficiency and performance. We are excited to share the latest scientific findings on how sustainably sourced Antarctic krill is driving both nutrition and results in aquaculture today,” says Valentina Tapia.

Chile is a key market in the global aquaculture industry and a leading producer of salmon. Aqua Sur is an ideal gathering point in this key aquaculture market – a place for industry players to learn about new products and services, experiences new technologies, and exchange views and ideas. Sustainability is also expected to be a key theme at the event.

Why krill is an important player in the future protein solution

The globe is facing serious challenges. Our planet currently faces a triple threat of global warming, overpopulation, and exploitation of resources, creating a scenario that puts our future food supply in jeopardy. Among the greatest challenges is finding good sources of proteins. Proteins serves as fundamental building blocks for cells and tissues – making them essential for all living organisms. Animals need it for the muscles, blood cells, immune cells, and the overall bodily functions, like growth and development. Humans and fish alike need to consume proteins regularly to get the energy and nutrition needed to grow and function.

Why Is Krill Increasingly Relevant On The Market

Fish meal and fish oil have long been staple ingredients in aquafeeds – serving as dependable sources of nutrition for developing fish. But over several years, the supply of these ingredients has grown increasingly limited, reaching peak scarcity in 2023 upon the cancellation of the anchovy fishing season in Peru.

Krill phospholipids helps high survival and growth of marine fish

Phospholipids are natural, integral parts of cells. They are sometimes referred to as the “molecule of life”, due to their role in maintaining the cell membranes’ strength, flexibility, and integrity. Inclusion of phospholipids in the diets of marine fish has proven, through scientific research, to have a positive effect on the culture performance of fish, particularly in terms of growth. This makes it an essential component in the diets of larval and juvenile fish, as it’s critical to ensure high survival rates at these life stages.
