Our products
360FishSweep™
The patented 360FishSweep™ fish handling equipment has been developed in collaboration with SalMar Farming and Lerøy Aurora to extract cleaner fish and sick or wounded fish in a highly efficient, predictable and gentle way. In less than a year, our system has removed more than 1 million lumpfish and many thousands of salmon that have suffered from disease or injuries.
The VØA ring™
The VØA Ring™ is a completely new fish handler tool that we believe most aqua technicians will find highly valuable — both during daily normal operations and when facing moderate biological challenges in the pen. The equipment is a temporary collection net which makes removal of fish more ergonomic, efficient and escape-proof.
LiceSweep™
LiceSweep™ is a system for diluting lice larvae and other organisms/foreign elements in cages that reduce water quality and the living environment for salmon. We are seeking collaborators to strengthen the data foundation for this method and is therefore offering this system at a favorable price in 2024 to participants who wish to contribute.
The BioNet™
The BioNet™ is a hand net with filter fabric (350 microns) for filtering out particles and other organisms/foreign elements from the water in the pen – also chain jelly fish. The BioNet™ has a telescopic handle with a length of 90-225 cm and an opening of 67 x 53 cm. A simple, but effective tool.
Development projects
LiceSweep™ – next-generation lice prevention
With support from Innovation Norway, the company has initiated research projects to develop a new preventive method for lice infestation. The project is called LiceSweep™ and is based on filtering out lice larvae in the surface of the pen along the net wall.
