One of the world’s strongest regulated fisheries
established in 1982
24 member nations + EU
“A major priority for the Commission is the management of
the Krill fishery. Krill is the largest underexploited marine
resource on the planet and presents us with significant
management challenges – and with opportunities. If we
can get this right, krill can become the base for a
sustainable global food source into the future”
(Commission of the Conservation
of Antarctic Marine Living Resources)

Strong partnership to ensure the sustainability of the fishery
10 year + partnership with WWF
Even before deploying our first fishhing net, Aker BioMarine went into dialogue with WWF to ensure that we we’re going into a fishery thet could be commerzialized without compromising the ecosystem in the Antarctic. Every step of the way we have received feedback from Environmental NGO’s on concerns regarding the fishery and responded with actions that would lower their concerns.
Initiating industry collaboration on responsibility
In 2010 Aker BioMarine initiated the Association of responsible krill harvesting companies (ARK) to help lift the standard for responsibility for the entire industry. ARK now has six member companies and has experienced strong growth in 2016, when also the Chinese joined the industry organization.
Promoting research on the Antarctic Ecosystem Ongoing research is essential for effective Antarctic Krill fishery management. Thus, Aker BioMarine partnered with the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition (ASOC) and WWF-Norway in 2015 to establish a new research fund. Research on the ecosystem in which we fish are essential to our business, our customers, the scientific community, and environmental-protection organizations. This initiative also provides a platform for dialogue among key stakeholders
External verification of the krill fishery
Re-certified by MSC for five more years
Aker BioMarine was the first krill fishery to receive the MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) certification in 2010, and received a re-certification in 2015 for another five years. MSC is the highest renowned sustainability certification available, and scored highest in a comparison of wild-capture fisheries certification schemes initiated by WWF, independently carried out by Accenture in 2012.
Only reduction fishery to receive an «A» rating
For the second year in a row the krill fishery in the Antarctic is the only reduction fishery (production of fishmeal or fish oil) to receive an «A» rating. The report «Sustainability overview» of reduction fisheries is published by a independent third party, The Sustainable Fisheries Partnership and is using publicly available data presented on www.fishsource.com
