Skretting launch AquaCare, safeguarding Earth’s most precious resource

In certain regions, aquaculture faces a growing challenge in terms of access to safe, clean water. As a key part of its ongoing commitment to improve the sustainability of the industry, Skretting has extended its scope beyond the supply of sophisticated and sustainable feeds by creating a new global product line, AquaCare, specifically focused on providing practical solutions for improving water quality for fish and shrimp farming systems.

Water is a critical resource facing increasing demand and climate-based burdens. With the United Nations charting that there has been a six-fold increase in the worldwide demand for water over the last 100 years, responsible water stewardship is now a global priority.

'Before a fish or shrimp needs feed, it needs water. Depending on the initial state of the water, improved water quality will not only enable farmers to achieve better animal welfare, but also improve results. The Skretting team and the AquaCare concept aim to help fish and shrimp farmers everywhere. The safer we can make the industry today, the more we will safeguard its long-term future,' said Tonje Dueland, Global Product Manager at Skretting.

Through this important diversification, Skretting's AquaCare team will focus on developing long-term partnerships with companies and institutes engaged in the fight for water quality improvement, with an initial focus in countries confronted with a lack of good water quality. The aim of these collaborations is to consolidate the knowledge on water and use it to accelerate progress within the aquaculture sector.
