Aker BioMarine and the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) are to team up to look into the modified form of two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, with a view to improve its delivery to the eyes and brain.
The collaboration looks to support Aker’s new delivery platform, LYSOVETA that is based on lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC)-bound EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) derived from krill.
The complex enables EPA and DHA to pass through the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain as well as enriching the retina to improve ocular health.
“The LPC transporter allows EPA and DHA to enter the brain and the retina,” explains Papasani Subbaiah, professor of medicine, biochemistry and molecular genetics at the UIC College of Medicine.

Today, Aker BioMarine is launching AION, a new company offering products and services to companies with a desire to recycle waste and re-use materials. AION (Greek for ‘eternity’) stems from circular initiatives within Aker BioMarine focused on plastic waste and production residues.
Aker BioMarine will scale AION through a three-stage model. Aker BioMarine s own streams of plastic and biological production residues will be recycled into new products, allowing the company to reach its zero-waste vision. In addition, AION will work through Aker BioMarine s network to receive other companies plastic and biowaste streams. AION aims to manage production residues globally and will work to scale its business model with an ambition for listing.

Ignacio Kleinman, managing partner of Antarctica Advisors, said large animal protein companies are still a little perplexed by the complexity of seafood.
He added those sectors might gravitate to salmon or other species that are well-managed, but continue to function in a model that focuses on one species versus several.
“They find the sector a little riskier,” he said in terms of aquaculture. Yet, it makes sense for those animal protein producers to get into the sector.
“They have the capital, they have the longterm view on business.”
In many cases, the lifecycle of the seafood animals is substantially shorter than the lifecycle of beef, he gave as one example.
