Groundbreaking new fish feed carrier nearing completion at the Thersan Shipyard in Istanbul
The Norwegian fish farming industry is growing and in 2011 output reached approximately one million tonnes of fish, largely salmon and trout. BioMar supplies this industry with feed and in 2011 the company had a market share of 25% of the overall fish feed market of 1.5 million tonnes.
BioMar's goal is to be in the vanguard of sustainable development within Norwegian aquaculture and to this end the company has focused increasing attention on this issue in recent years. In 2011, BioMar Norge became the first feed producer to be certified by Det Norske Veritas under the new “ProSustain“ sustainability certification scheme.
