BioMar’s latest research has highlighted key aquafeed challenges associated with waterborne feeding systems, which are gaining popularity for their potential to reduce energy use, microplastic pollution and sea lice exposure

However, the company’s findings reveal that these systems can lead to nutritional losses in feed due to specific factors affecting nutrient stability in submerged environments.

Early validation trials conducted on commercial waterborne systems have yielded promising results, laying a strong foundation for further research and development.
