Aker BioMarine has today received confirmation that its krill fisheries will be certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), an independent, global, non-profit organization that works to promote the best choices in sustainable seafood. In future purchases of Aker BioMarine’s SuperbaTM and QrillTM products, consumers can be assured that their Omega-3 rich krill products are harvested in an environmentally sustainable way.

As announced during the Q1 2010 Financial presentation, Aker BioMarine has signed a distributor agreement with Compson Trade Co., Ltd for the Taiwanese market. This is the first step into the Asian market for Superba™ Krill and a milestone for Aker BioMarine.

Aker BioMarine has been notified by the Finnish Food Safety Authority that Superba™ Krill Oil is now approved as Novel Food in the European Union. Consequently, Superba™ Krill Oil can be sold in all countries within the European Union.
