Krill harvester gives extra $1m to Antarctic research
Aker BioMarine, which harvests Antarctic krill for use in animal and human food, has pledged $1 million to support the Antarctic Wildlife Research Fund (AWR) over the next five years. The grant, which is on top of almost $1.5m already donated by the company since 2015, will further AWR’s work on promoting and facilitating research on the Antarctic ecosystem.
