Aker BioMarine warns omega-3 demand could outstrip fish oil supply next year

Aker BioMarine warns that traditional global omega-3 supplies are reaching a tipping point. The krill and algae oil supplier links these to limitations in traditional crude fish oil supplies and growing demand for omegas from consumers and industries, ranging from aquaculture to pet nutrition. In the first installment of our two-part series on the omega-3 market, Nutrition Insight meets with Ross Norris, general manager for Asia-Pacific at Aker BioMarine, who says that dependence on the Peruvian anchovy fisheries exposes the sector to supply shocks and price spikes.
