NEWS 86 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE March 2024 Aker BioMarine: Krill meal supports better aquaculture outcomes during winter The harsh conditions of winter may cause stress and challenge fish welfare in salmon producing countries, as salmon becomes more vulnerable due to the reduced state of its immune system under cold temperatures. Ensuring that the feed is attractive and these important nutrients are easily accessible to the fish which may support the salmon in withstanding these challenging conditions. A robust fish is better equipped to avoid disease and will recover more quickly following any sickness or stressful events, and krill meal supports the fish in being robust, states Aker BioMarine. Many aquaculture farmers experience lack of appetite among the fish during the cold winter season. When temperatures are particularly frigid, the fish may almost stop eating altogether. Should the temperature drop below eight degrees Celsius, the fish also face serious threats in the form of winter ulcers caused by more active bacteria such as Moritella together with Tenacibaculum. Throughout the winter, it is crucial that the fish are fit to combat stress and disease. One way to support robustness and tissue regeneration in salmonids is to ensure that their diets have sufficient well documented nutrients such as EPA and DHA, as well as antioxidants, minerals, and nucleotides. It is also important to ensure that the feed is tasty and easily digested, so that the health promoting nutrients are utilized in an optimal way. “There are many reasons we believe krill meal is an interesting ingredient for salmon feed in winter months,” says Marianne Nergård, Product Director of Animal Nutrition, Aker BioMarine.
