BioMar said it is expanding research and development activities at its Aquaculture Technology Centre in Hirtshals, Denmark, as it targets new species and markets.
The company said the expansion will support development of species-specific feed solutions, including for yellowtail kingfish and barramundi, as aquaculture production diversifies geographically and biologically.
BioMar said the Hirtshals facility, its largest research centre, includes 15 experimental trial units, 27 recirculating aquaculture systems and more than 350 tanks, enabling large-scale testing across multiple species and life stages.
The centre has historically focused on species such as salmon, trout, seabass and seabream, but has increasingly expanded work on warm-water species in recent years.
BioMar said upcoming research will focus on feeding strategies, biological performance and predictive modelling for barramundi, which it identified as a key growth species in markets including Australia and southeast Asia.
Simon Wadsworth, global R&D director at BioMar, said expanding into new species was a natural step as aquaculture evolves and requires more targeted nutritional research.
The company said insights from Hirtshals will feed into its global innovation network to support feed development and performance optimisation across its markets.
