“I am passionate about increasing fish health and welfare, and also in showing how healthier fish are part of making the aquaculture business more sustainable,” says Nergård. “I have witnessed on several occasions that krill is a key ingredient to mitigate the negative effects of several important infectious diseases, all while serving as a sustainable feed ingredient. This is why I believe that krill is going to be important to help improve fish health and performance in the future.”
“Marianne has dedicated a great deal of time to exploring the effects of krill in aquaculture, both in her studies and in her career. I look forward to having Marianne as part of the team on making the benefits of krill even more well-known in the aquaculture industry,” says Sigve Nordrum, EVP Animal Health and Nutrition.
Marianne is educated as a veterinarian, earning her degree from the Norwegian Veterinary School in Oslo, Norway. During her studies, she specialised in aqua medicine and wrote her thesis on the effects of krill feed on circulatory health in Atlantic salmon.
