After 7 weeks of krill oil (KO) intake, both males and females treated with KO were significantly better in discriminating between the active and the inactive levers in the ALSAT from day 1 of training . Both KO and IMIP prevented resignation/depression on the third day in the UALST. These data support a robust antidepressant-like …

The long-chain n-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have human health benefits and alternatives to fish as sources of EPA and DHA are needed. Oil from the micro-algae Nannochloropsis oculata contains a significant amount of EPA linked to phospholipids and glycolipids, and no DHA. Krill oil contains EPA and DHA conjugated to …
This was part of the MSc thesis presented to The Faculty of the School of Marine Science, The College of William & Mary in Virginia (USA) by Kate Elizabeth Ruck in 2012. In the larger context of the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) ecosystem, rapid regional warming has fundamentally altered the ecosystem structure and, if trends continue, …
Australia’s involvement in CCAMLR is long dated, with CCAMLR’ head office located in Tasmania. Australia’s contribution to Antarctic climate science is well known and highly respected. This 2008 report was edited by D. Michael Stoddart from the Australian Antarctic Division. It shows that Australia has played a significant role in many aspects of high-latitude climate …

The “solvent-free krill oil” has become the target for all krill oil manufacturers since Tharos’ first IP in 2009. Krill oils, except Tharos’, are manufactured using solvents in any stage of their process. And the market has slowly come up rejecting that fact. This is Sara Aziz 2013 thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate …
Although this research was published March 2014 in Advances in Polar Science, it is a very actual matter that impacts krill meal and krill oil sales, sustained by Tharos’ market research. Fluorine (F) toxicity is a matter of real concern. This research was made using rats with different dietary regimens: A control group, a krill …

This 1966 thesis analyzed (Zn)zinc-65 uptake and retention from seawater by Euphausia pacifica, depending on temperature, size of animal and concentration of Zn in the water. Read full report here.
Goals of work Advanced tumor disease very often evokes excessive loss of body weight. Among others, fish oil or marine fatty acid ethyl esters were investigated for treatment of cancer cachexia with controversial results. In this study, a new formulation of marine fatty acids was investigated, marine phospholipids, with more than 50% of phospholipid-bound fatty …
