Choline is an essential nutrient that has been implicated in athletic performance due to its role in maintaining normal muscle function. Levels of circulating free choline may decrease during high-intensity exercise, yet few nutritional strategies to counteract this potentially performance-depleting loss in choline have been investigated outside the laboratory.
There’s no dispute that omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are beneficial to canine diets, but the source of the omega-3s can impact absorption in the body. In a new study from Aker BioMarine, a team of scientists sought to uncover the dietary effects of omega-3s delivered by Antarctic krill meal versus fish oil.
Aker ASA and Aker Capital AS (jointly “Aker”) announces that its subsidiary Aker BioMarine AS ("Aker BioMarine" or the “Company”), has engaged Arctic Securities AS, DNB Markets, a part of DNB Bank ASA, and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ.)

Shrimp farmers seek growth and feed efficiency for their crops, but this can be challenging when water salinity concentration in commercial ponds is high. In a new study, now published in the Journal of Applied Aquaculture, scientists from Instituto de Ciências do Mar (Labomar), Brazil and Aker BioMarine evaluate whether high salinity conditions can be offset with the dietary supplementation of astaxanthin krill oil and soybean oil.
