Our Ultra Pure Krill Oil, sourced directly Aker BioMarine stands out for its sustainability due to the advanced fishing methods and rigorous environmental practices employed.
Aker BioMarine utilizes proprietary Eco-Harvesting technology, which involves keeping a small trawl submerged continuously at an exact depth. This method ensures that the krill are gently brought on board via a hose, significantly reducing the risk of by-catch of other species. This environmentally friendly approach forms the cornerstone of their operations.
The krill fishing vessel operates in the pristine waters of the Antarctic, specifically in Area 48, just below the tip of South America. Recognized globally for its sustainable practices, Aker BioMarine is committed to responsible operations, under the principle, "Either we do it in a sustainable way, or we don't do it at all," underscoring their dedication to preserving the Antarctic ecosystem from the very beginning of their operations.
The sustainability of Aker BioMarine's practices is independently recognized. The fishery has been rated as the world's most sustainable reduction fishery by the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP), receiving an 'A' rating for five consecutive years. This rating reflects the excellent condition of the fish stocks and the well-managed practices in the Atlantic Southern Ocean.
Aker BioMarine was also the first krill fishery to receive the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification in 2010, with re-certifications following in subsequent years, most recently in 2020. This certification ensures that their harvesting methods are sustainable and that all products are traceable throughout the supply chain.
Before beginning their operations, Aker BioMarine engaged in dialogue with WWF-Norway to ensure minimal environmental impact, highlighting their proactive approach to sustainable practices.
