QRILL™ boosts productivity in marine hatcheries

Research demonstrates marine larvae fed diets with QRILL™ oil then QRILL™ Antarctic krill meal grow faster to higher weights and greater length in the hatchery than larvae on control diets. Also the larvae were better formed.

The phospholipids in QRILL™ products closely match the needs of the marine larvae and improve their fatty acid composition.

Larvae bloom on krill

Gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) larvae have boosted growth, improved fatty acid composition and showed other health benefits when switched to a krill product diet, according to a study conducted by Grupo de Investigacion en Acuiculturea in the Canary Isles.

Total traceability

Aker BioMarine applies close control over the entire sequence of actions from harvesting of krill in the Southern Ocean to delivery of products to customers. Every product batch can be traced back to the coordinates of the vessel when the harvesting took place. Read more
Unique harvest technology

Krill is caught and processed using our Eco-Harvesting™ system. This assures maximum freshness, while the process minimizes physical damage to the krill, and minimizes by-catch. Rapid onboard processing preserves all the key nutrients in both krill meal and krill oil.

The fishing equipment remains underwater while a continuous stream of water flows through the net and directly into the hose, bringing the krill live and fresh directly into the factory vessel. This advanced fishing process allows for continuous processing of fresh raw material with superior product quality.

Eco-Harvesting results in minimal environmental impact. The innovative, sustainable krill harvesting will allow future generations to reap bounteous harvests of krill for yet-to-be-developed uses of this tiny but nutrition-packed crustacean.
