Biosecurity
Biosecurity is one of our core priorities and forms the foundation for how we operate across all parts of the company.
We see our customers’ production as an extension of our own and are fully committed to minimizing biological risks through preventive routines and high biosecurity standards.
Through strict procedures and a strong culture of continuous improvement, we safeguard the health and biosecurity of our broodstock and egg production.
Why details matter
Maintaining high biosecurity standards, targeted surveillance, and dedicated biosecure sites has enabled us to establish compartments with disease-free status for key salmon pathogens.
Such a position allows us to participate in global trade and to remain a reliable supplier to our customers. Sustaining this standard depends on consistent execution and a strong biosecurity culture across all operations. The disease-free status is maintained through annual sampling and screening conducted in close collaboration with the competent authority.
This multidisciplinary collaboration ensures that biosecurity is integrated into every decision from daily routines to long-term planning. By combining expertise in fish health, production, and quality, we strengthen our ability to identify potential risks early and maintain the highest standards across all operations.

Biosecurity means a set of management and physical measures designed to reduce the risk of introduction, establishment and spread of animal disease, infections or infestation to, from or within an animal population.

The Benchmark Genetics way
Our ambition is to be the forefront of biosecurity in the aquaculture breeding industry, by understanding and implementing measures

Biosecurity and species
Biosecurity policies and fish health follow-up are adapted to the targeted species and the relevant pathogens. Our in-house breeding programs consist of two species: Atlantic salmon and White leg shrimp. These require different approaches due to the differences in production systems.
