Partnering for a more sustainable fishery
Collaboration is essential to advancing sustainable fisheries management. We actively partner with scientific institutions, regulatory bodies, and environmental organizations to ensure the long-term health of the krill biomass and the Antarctic ecosystem.
We co-founded the Antarctic Wildlife Research Fund (AWR) in 2015 alongside WWF-Norway and ASOC, promoting ecosystem research. As a founding member of the Association of Responsible Krill Harvesting Companies (ARK), we also drive voluntary seasonal closures in critical feeding areas.

Regulations and fishery management
The Antarctic krill fishery operates under one of the strictest regulatory frameworks globally. CCAMLR applies a precautionary approach, setting the total allowable catch at just 1% of the biomass. Governance is strengthened by requiring the consensus of 25 nations for any regulatory changes.
Aker QRILL Company actively contributes to scientific research and regulatory discussions, ensuring transparency, compliance, and ecosystem protection. By collaborating with scientific institutions and conservation organizations, we help strengthen CCAMLR’s ability to balance responsible resource use with long-term ecosystem health.
