QRILL Aqua is prepared from an extract of ground whole Antarctic krill that is cooked and dried, resulting in a brownish-orange powder containing around 60 percent protein with a nutritionally well-balanced amino acid profile. It is a sustainable source of protein, omega-3 phospholipids, feed attractants and astaxanthin. The benefits of including this ingredient in fish feeds are many:
QRILL Aqua products are all made from fresh krill and the crew harvest as long as the Antarctic season and CCMLAR regulatory allows. As a result of their diet, krill have different fat and protein content throughout the year. Early in the season – after feeding on algae, the krill are often low in fat but high in protein. Midseason, fat content is higher due feeding on plankton. Being that QRILL Aqua products are all natural they vary in composition levels depending on the season of harvest.
