Building on BioMar’s well-established POWER range, POWER H2O introduces a specific formulation and enhanced physical qualities tailored for underwater pellet delivery. It addresses the unique demands of waterborne feeding systems, including extended time in water, higher water pressure, and different environmental conditions at depth.
Ewan Cameron, Product Manager, Salmon Grower Feeds at BioMar said,
“The use of waterborne feeding systems introduces a new set of challenges, and it requires a feed built for this farming reality.
“POWER H2O combines robust pellet durability with excellent digestibility and minimal nutrient loss, making it the ideal feed for salmon farmers adopting these systems.”
Salmon farmers are increasingly using waterborne feeding systems, which reduce noise, microplastics, and energy use. Feeding submerged also reduces sea lice exposure. However, waterborne feeding may increase the risk of pellet damage and nutrient loss before consumption. POWER H2O is designed to maintain pellet integrity better from barge to bite, helping farmers protect their feed investment while supporting consistent growth and health.
“Initial testing has shown that conventional feeds can lose essential nutrients quickly when delivered via waterborne systems,”
says Paddy Campbell, VP Salmon at BioMar Group.
“With POWER H2O, we’ve focused on safeguarding feed pellet quality throughout the feeding delivery process. It represents a change that can have a big impact.”
