Corporate responsibility

Sustainable Seafood

Jose Villalon, Director of WWF-US Aquaculture Program, says "Farmed fish is an excellent source of protein and, when produced well, helps protect the environment. I am totally convinced that aquaculture is the most sustainable way to feed the world."

Seafood & Health

The health benefits of seafood

Seafood does not only taste good - it is also good for your mental and physical health. The presence of vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, makes seafood a healthy choice.

Biological tool towards sea lice

Marine Harvest further increases its efforts towards sea lice. The company has started up ballan wrasse farming in Øygarden outside Bergen, Norway.

An environmentally sound and efficient alternative to traditional delousing agents has been estasblished. Intensive testing of a new delousing agent shows that peroxide is more than 90 percent effective on mobile and mature lice.

Food quality
