How does Aker BioMarine catch krill?
Because Antarctic krill live in dense schools or swarms, it is well suited to harvesting by trawling. However, powerful enzymes in krill begin to break down krill’s valuable bioactive resources as soon as the crustacean dies; significant catch mortality results from traditional trawling practices. Aker BioMarine’s harvesting technique keeps the krill alive in the seawater in which it was netted and brings it onboard the trawler alive, in quantities which can be processed rapidly.
