R&D Pet

Krill are small shrimp-like crustaceans that constitute one of the most abundant sources of marine nutrients. They live, breed and feed in cold, dark ocean waters and are mostly found in huge swarms which can extend over 450 square kilometers and weigh up to two million tonnes. Euphasia superba is the most frequent species of krill in the Southern Ocean. To protect the long-term future of krill, the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) restricts annual krill fishing to about 1% of the total population.

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.
