Lipids in Raw Krill

Seasonal Variations. Internal Working Material. Not-Statistical Validated Average All Regions CCAMLR FAO 48). Version R&D 2008 (Pub. 2008) A different pattern on raw krill fat content was analyzed within end 2008 mid 2009 krill fishing seasons. Result shows a different pattern to Tharos’ 2006 research on raw South Antarctic krill lipid content, mainly on the …

Reducing Fluoride Content From Raw Krill Being Processed Into Krill Meal

Deboning Principle and Applicability (2008). Actual krill meal fluoride content in the vicinity of 1 500-2 000ppm can be safely used on aquafeeds. Nonetheless, fluoride content in feed-based raw ingredients is gaining concern on raw material’s fluoride level to meet EU standards. Although raw krill deboning principles have some Pro’s, it also holds significant Con’s …

South Antarctic Krill Players

Competition or Cooperation?? SWOT Analysis 2007- 2008.      Capture and  processing data was collected from all actual South Antarctic operators in order to asses this fishery, capture and processing potential for season 2007~2008 9and further). As installed processing capacity shows only the theoretical values, in some cases not even proven, data is strictly preliminary. …

Why Hydrolysis ?? (2008)

Several questions were Tharos’ primary understanding focus; (a) Why make on-board (or on-shore) hydrolysates instead of dried meals?; (b) Why should someone bother doing this?; (c) What is the value of breaking down proteins into smaller pieces?. Key aspects considered were that hydrolysis increases digestibility; physical effect of small hydrolyzed pieces easy travelling in water; …

On-Board Evaporation Processing Options

Financial and Technical Analysis (2007). Alternative evaporation solutions were analyzed for a theoretical 7 700GRT factory trawler targeting South Antarctic krill resource. The concept is an evaporator designed for recovering a solvent or solutes from a solution. Different types of Evaporators were researched such as, but not restricted to; raising film contra pressure and pressure-vacuum; …

Krill Oil Extraction Companies

Quality and Model Comparisons (2007). All actual relevant krill oil extracting corporations have been analyzed in order to evaluate; (a) Quality of end-products; (b) Residual solvents which affects end-quality; (c) Market potential; (d) Business model applicability for the long-term sustainability. Companies involved in krill oil extraction work mainly through solvent-extraction principles processed on-shore from either …
