For the first time, Aker BioMarine was present at the hemisphere's leading aquaculture exhibition held in Puerto Montt, spreading the word about the proven benefits of Antarctic krill-based ingredients. Furthermore, the company officially opened a Chile based entity.

 

For the first time, Aker BioMarine was present at AquaSur 2022 international fair in Puerto Montt (Los Lagos region, Chile). This is the most important aquaculture exhibition in the southern hemisphere, with the participation of numerous national and international exhibitors, giving an account of the latest advances and innovations in products and services for the sector.

 

Since late 2021, Aker BioMarine has been present in Chile in order to strengthen its QRILL™ Aqua brand in national salmon farming, establishing important relationships with customers and with the industry in general. But this year, Aker BioMarine officially announced the debut of its Chile based entity and for the first time, the company participated in the international fair AquaSur, getting even closer to the local market. At stand B 248, the QRILL™ Aqua brand was on display, showcasing the many benefits of its krill meal ingredient to the aquaculture world.

 

“At Aker BioMarine (QRILL Aqua) we are committed to aquaculture here in Chile”, said Valentina Tapia, Sales Director for QRILL in Chile. "We are very excited to have participated in AquaSur and to have been able to share our knowledge with experts who appreciate the value of krill for aquaculture", she mentioned. The executive added, "We were able to spread a lot of information about the growth and expansion that QRILL Aqua is having in Chile and demonstrate the new scientific findings that support the sustainability and efficiency of these ingredients.”

Krill meal supports better aquaculture outcomes during challenging winter season

In many salmon producing countries, winter is a time of cold-water temperatures and stormy weather. These conditions may cause stress and challenge fish welfare, as salmon becomes more vulnerable due to the reduced state of its immune system under cold temperatures. Ensuring that the feed is attractive and that important nutrients are easily accessible to the fish may support the salmon in withstanding these challenging conditions. A robust fish is better equipped to avoid disease and will more quickly recover following any sickness or stressful events.

QRILL Aqua at Aqua Nor 2023: Unveiling krill’s role in fish nutrition

The aquaculture event of the year, Aqua Nor, is right around the corner, on 22-24 August in Trondheim, Norway. With participants from around the globe, Aqua Nor is where leaders and experts from across the industry gather to discuss the future of fish farming.

Krill meal: a powerful and reliable ally for aquafeed formulations

One of aquaculture’s major concerns is to deliver high-quality products for human consumption. The diet given to farmed fish and shrimp must contain all the essential nutrients to deliver healthy animal products to consumers. However, the current aquaculture industry is facing a challenging quest: reducing and even removing fish-based products from aquafeeds while keeping nutritional quality and feed performance. Shifting from fish meal-based diets to plant-based or alternative protein and lipid sources has proven to be an arduous task. The solution can rely on krill meal, a powerful supplement produced from Antarctic krill. But why is krill so appealing for aquafeeds? The secret of krill meal is its unique blend of proteins, lipids, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. This makes it an ideal feed additive to fill the nutritional gaps of more sustainable plant-based or alternative animal diets.
