Sustainably Sourced Krill Oil

The operations behind Kori Krill^® Oil, notable for low harvesting levels, have earned the highest sustainability credentials.

What Are Krill?

Krill are tiny shrimp-like crustaceans that represent the largest single species biomass in the Southern Ocean. Near the start of the food chain, krill thrive in deep and clean Antarctic waters where they reproduce rapidly. Krill are powerful natural harvesters of the microalgae they eat, collecting and storing Omega-3s and other nutrients we need.

Friends of the Sea

Stewardship certification from Friends of the Sea confirms no endangered species are caught during operations and no adverse impact had on the ecosystem.

Sustainable Fisheries Partnership

The only fishery to receive an A-rating from the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership for being particularly well-managed – outperforming all fish oil fisheries.

Eco-Harvesting Prevents By-Catch

Eco-harvesting technology includes a continuously submerged mid-water vacuum that is guarded by a fine mesh net that prevents anything larger than krill from entering. As a result of this process, developed through years of research and investment, by-catch is negligible as there is minimal interaction with species other than krill.

Protecting the Wildlife Ecosystem

Harvest Levels

In total, less than 1% of the Antarctic krill biomass is harvested annually. That is well below the 10% level set by the UN in their definition of a sustainable fishery.

Independent Observers

Independent observers on the harvesting vessels in Antarctica provide year-round transparent and detailed reporting of catch volumes and by-catch to the relevant authorities.

Buffer Zones

Voluntarily imposed buffer zones prevent fishing near areas that may be inhabited by other species.

AWR

Facilitates and promotes third party research on the Antarctic ecosystem. The Antarctic Wildlife Research Fund is a partnership of global NGOs interested in environmental protection.

CCAMLR

Adopts conservation measures for all fisheries operating in Antarctica specifying how much can be caught, where it can be caught and acceptable by-catch levels.

ARK

Aims to ensure the industry develops in a sustainable way to support the long-term viability of the krill population. A partnership between krill fisheries and NGOs.

Sustainable Packaging

Kori® Krill Oil boxes and bottles are 100% recyclable, including cap and label. Please check local guidelines to see what may be recycled in your area.
