BioMar’s production facilities in Myre and Karmøy, Norway, have achieved Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) Feed certification. This development supports BioMar’s commitment to responsible feed production and provides Norwegian farmers with ASC-compliant feed ahead of upcoming requirements.
The certification enables BioMar to support the Norwegian salmon sector with locally produced ASC-compliant feed. This is crucial as farms prepare for the October 2025 deadline when ASC certification will require feed sourced from ASC-certified facilities.
“This certification is the result of our long-term efforts to ensure that feed production for aquaculture is done in a sustainable way, both for the environment and for people. We are proud to offer our customers feed that meets the strictest requirements for environmental and social responsibility,” said Håvard Jørgensen, Managing Director of BioMar Norway.
Certification audits were conducted in early 2025, involving a comprehensive evaluation of operations, procurement systems, and traceability standards at both sites. With this achievement, Norway joins BioMar’s expanding network of ASC-certified production sites.
BioMar has previously achieved ASC Feed Certification in Ecuador, Chile, the United Kingdom, and Costa Rica. This allows farmers across various species and regions to meet growing demands for responsibly farmed seafood. Each certification aligns with BioMar’s strategy of supporting responsible aquaculture practices and empowering customers to meet environmental, social, and market expectations.
