Core offering

Alltech Fennoaqua manufactures and sells specialized fish feeds for cold-water species (rainbow trout, whitefish, trout, salmon) from its factory in Raisio, Finland. The product portfolio includes the Hercules (rainbow trout/salmon), Silver (whitefish), Ova (broodstock), Circuit (RAS), and Baltic Blend® (Baltic Sea circular-economy) feed lines, plus imported starter feeds and the Kasvuluotain (Growth Sonar) digital application for feeding planning and growth monitoring.

Product overview

Alltech Fennoaqua is Finland's only fish feed factory, operating from Raisio since 1982. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of fish feeds for various species (rainbow trout, whitefish, salmon, trout) and farming methods (traditional open-water and RAS recirculating systems), supported by a companion digital application. Core feed products include the Hercules line (with Baltic, Vital, Omega, and Nbalance variants), Silver whitefish feeds, Ova broodstock feeds, and Circuit RAS feeds. The digital Growth Sonar application provides feeding planning and fish growth monitoring. The product architecture combines bulk commodity feeds with specialized added-value packages (Vital, Vital Plus, Baltic, Nbalance, Omega) that can be combined with base feeds to address specific farming requirements like low phosphorus, low nitrogen, or enhanced fish health. Additional offerings include imported starter feeds from Alltech Coppens and professional protective clothing.

Products and services

• Hercules Rainbow Trout Feeds Premium fish feeds for rainbow trout, trout, and salmon with optimized nutritional content for different fish sizes, offered in variants (Baltic, Vital, Omega, Nbalance) addressing specific farming needs such as low phosphorus or low nitrogen.
• Silver Whitefish Feeds Environmentally friendly feed specifically designed for whitefish (siika), addressing the distinct nutritional needs and feed raw material utilization capabilities of whitefish, which differ from rainbow trout requirements.
• Ova Broodstock Feeds Specialized feeds for broodstock (rainbow trout, salmon, whitefish, trout) designed to promote broodstock welfare and optimal egg production, rich in fish meal and fish oil with high astaxanthin content for egg protection.
• Circuit RAS Feeds Feeds for recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) that address the unique needs of closed-system farming with special ingredients influencing water quality, filter function, and pool hygiene, available in sizes 1.2–7.0 mm.
• Baltic Blend® Baltic Sea Feed Innovative feed using purified fish meal and oil from Baltic Sea fish (MSC-certified sustainable fisheries). Recycles nutrients from the Baltic Sea and actively removes phosphorus; reduces nitrogen load from fish farming by 75%.
• Growth Sonar (Kasvuluotain) Digital smartphone and computer application for fish feeding planning and monitoring of fish mass growth, providing daily feeding recommendations based on Fennoaqua's feeding tables, tracking biomass and water temperature, and generating feeding reports.
• Advance and Top Starter Feeds Specialized starter feeds for early growth stage fry, manufactured by Alltech Coppens and imported by Alltech Fennoaqua to provide an effective and safe start for fish fry in both traditional and RAS farming.
