QRILL AQUA PRODUCTS
The QRILL Aqua family consists of three functional ingredients for improving growth and health of fish, shrimp and other species in aquaculture
QRILL AQUA PRODUCTS
High-quality functional ingredients for modern aquafeeds
QRILL Aqua products are derived from Antarctic krill and the range consists of three functional ingredients developed to improve growth performance, feed efficiency and health in fish, shrimp and other aquaculture species. All products provide a highly digestible source of marine nutrients.
Onboard production ensures freshness and quality
Our products are manufactured directly on board our state-of-the-art harvesting vessels. The krill is processed immediately after catch, locking in freshness and preserving key nutrients. All products are clean, fully traceable and MSC certified for responsible sourcing.
Science-based collaboration
Supported by over 195 peer-reviewed scientific publications and extensive internal R&D, we work closely with our partners to ensure optimal product utilization.
Our technical team provides guidance on inclusion levels, species-specific applications and formulation strategies — ensuring maximum nutritional and economic value from QRILL Aqua ingredients.
QRILL Aqua Total
QRILL Aqua Total is a natural red-orange-brownish meal, rich in essential nutrients and free from additives due to packaging under modified atmosphere. As krill is a natural raw material with seasonal variation, we offer flexibility in fat and protein specifications, allowing feed producers to tailor formulations for specific nutritional targets.
QRILL AQUA CONTAINS:
- Phospholipid-bound omega-3 fatty acids in high levels
- Choline in a highly bioavailable form
- TMAO as an osmolyte
- Marine proteins, water soluble peptides and nucleotides
- Astaxanthin, a powerful carotenoid
- Cholesterol
- Vitamins, minerals, and chitin
Available in packaging sizes of 25 kg and 500 kg bags.
QRILL Aqua Total acts as a natural appetite stimulant, enhancing feed uptake, growth, and robustness in fish and shrimp. It improves survival, stress tolerance, fillet quality, and supports healthy organ function across aquatic species.
QRILL High Protein
QRILL High Protein is a protein-rich product. After harvested in the Southern Ocean and dried on board factory vessels, the product is transported to be processed in Houston, Texas. Here, it is obtained following krill oil extraction from whole krill meal, making it an ideal raw material for improving sustainability in aquaculture.
Being sustainable and circular, as it is a byproduct from the krill oil value chain, it may be utilized without increasing the FFDR (fishmeal and fish oil dependency ratio) of aquaculture feeds.
QRILL HIGH PROTEIN CONTAINS:
- Marine proteins of high quality, reflecting the amino acid requirements of aquatic species
- Naturally hydrolyzed peptides and nucleotides
- TMAO as an osmolyte and feed attractant
- Phospholipid-bound omega-3 fatty acids, choline and cholesterol
- Low levels of astaxanthin
Available in packaging size of 500 kg bag.
QRILL High Protein is an excellent source of marine protein for fish and shrimp, leading to increased feed uptake and enhanced growth.
QRILL AstaOmega Oil
QRILL AstaOmega Oil is an all-natural specialty performance supplement. The oil has a brilliant dark red color, reflecting its high content in astaxanthin. It is also a valuable source of omega-3 fatty acids and cholesterol, supporting the optimization of aquatic diets. The oil is delivered in different qualities tailored to meet specific nutrient level requirements.
QRILL ASTAOMEGA CONTAINS:
- Astaxanthin, color additive and biologically active antioxidant
- Omega-3 fatty acids in triglyceride form
- TMAO as an osmolyte and feed attractant
- Cholesterol
Available in packaging sizes of 25 kg and 185 kg drums.
QRILL AstaOmega improves palatability and delivers vital nutrients for enhanced growth, survival, stress tolerance and pigmentation.
