The advantage of using a LED light system is the lifespan which on the paper is superior to the MH (metal halide) light. When you compare lights you typically use facts about the light source. The light sources are the LED module and the MH bulb. The LED module has a lifespan of 70,000 hours while the MH bulb only has 20,000 hours. A significant difference.
However, you can change the bulb as many times as you like. It comes with a cost but somehow nullifies the difference. So how do you truly set the lifespan? It has to be on the weakest part of the light that will make it unrepairable. It could be the housing or the cable but it is different from light to light. If you compare our LED to our biggest competitors there are mainly two things to consider. Their light has a glass cover which almost covers half of the light. Our primary cover is aluminium. The other is the cable. We use a cable that is far more durable than the other. This means their housing will break or their cable will snap long before ours.
Another thing you can do with LED lights is to determine the colour temperature. What is the advantage of that? Well, the fact is choosing a blue light setting, for example, will penetrate better in the water giving it a better spread.
Scientific research has also shown that the salmon reacts best to certain colour temperatures. And by creating your colour temperature you can get as close to that as possible. This will assist even more in preventing maturation.
LEDs can also be programmed. When using the traditional MH light system the salmon can become startled. But with a LED system you can have a type of soft-start. This means you can program the period the light goes from 0% to 100%. The length of the soft-start can be from 10-to-600s.
In addition to that, we offer a battery solution. A box that sits on the cage as a backup in case the power cuts off giving the light a soft-stop as well. This is limited to 5-6 minutes but it is important as the salmon will also become alarmed if the light shuts off suddenly.
Scaring the salmon can cause loss of appetite and even increase the mortality rate of the salmon. The reason behind increased mortality is that when the light shuts off suddenly the salmon become disoriented and can swim into the nets bruising themselves. These bruises will eventually kill the salmon.
Furthermore, we are working on a full light control unit built into the box. This will give the user total control of the light and the possibility to pre-set the light to e.g. dim during the daytime. This also means that the soft-start length has no limits as it can be a whole month or more. Total control of the light also gives you control of power consumption.
The OxyGuard CO2 probe is a reliable and easy to use probe that measures the free dissolved CO2 directly and is not affected by carbonates or other dissolved substances.
OxyGuard CO2 Probe Brochure
The ODO/CT, probe and cable assembly features integral (i.e., built-in) optical dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and temperature sensors and is available in lengths up to 100 meters. It’s perfect for measuring DO in the following applications – estuary, wetland, coastal, aquaculture, or any application requiring accurate, real-time salinity-compensated DO measurements.
The ODO/CT assembly is compatible with the ProSolo, ProSwap, and ProDSS handhelds (sold separately). Pre-assembled ProSolo kits are available
The ODO/CT has all the advantages of optical dissolved oxygen technology – higher accuracy, less maintenance, no stirring required for accurate measurements, holds calibration longer than membrane covered sensors and is not susceptible to interferences from other gases.
Instrument setup is quick and easy with the integral sensors, which eliminates the need to install sensors before use. The digital technology of the ProDSS allows the handheld to automatically recognize connected sensors, so there is no need to tell the instrument what is connected.
The ProDIGITAL ODO/CT probe and cable assembly features include:
Integral (i.e. built-in) optical DO, conductivity, and temperature sensors that are auto-recognized by Pro Series handhelds, reducing instrument set-up time
Automatically compensates DO mg/L measurements for salinity; no need to enter salinity compensation values
Rugged Optical DO sensor cap with a 2-year warranty is pre-installed on new assemblies
Fits in a 1 inch well

The feed spreader significantly reduces capital and operating costs since it really does minimize feed system wastage. This is mainly attributed to the feed spreader's high-efficiency bearing, which allows significantly lower blower pressure (reportedly 30% lower) to produce a given spread radius. Consequently, there is much-reduced feed breakage and fat melt.
The feed spreader minimizes site labour requirements in several ways:
It requires no routine maintenance during the growth cycle, nor is any lubrication needed
It safely withstands vigorous water flushing of feed pipes without the need to be disconnected before pipe flushing
It is simple and quick to assemble, ready for site deployment
About the feed spreader
Self-cleaning (the bearing is open and is cleaned by air, rainwater, and seawater)
Produced for 90 mm feed pipes
Spare parts are well-priced and always in storage at our head quarters
Easily installed-the fish farmer manages the installation singlehandedly

The OceanCable is a wear-proof marine cable used by fish farmers around the world. It is used to supply electrical power to and between farming cages, underwater lights, and other sea-based installations.
OverviewThe renowned blue cable is produced from high-quality materials and is designed for use in extreme weather conditions. It has a virtually unlimited life expectancy when in an undisturbed installation. Should the cable require replacement, it is normally due to physical damage rather than wear. OceanCable does not require a conduit or tube; it can be installed directly into the sea. The outer sheath is produced out of highly wear-proof PU (Polyurethane) surrounding the individual conductor insulation. Such construction ensures a very strong cable and protects the copper from wear. The core covering is replaced with insulation – extruded polyolefin compound – that gives it high flexibility. The conductors consist of stranded, flexible copper. DESIGNED FOR EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS With three decades of experience, our products have become high in demand in the aquaculture industry. We believe that simple and durable technology is key to efficient and profitable fish farming. And this clearly resonates with our ever-growing client base that includes fish farmers in the Faroe Islands, Scotland, Norway, Canada, and other countries around the world. The OceanCable fish farming cables are used in some of the most exposed offshore fish farms in the North Atlantic. They provide a stable power supply in the most extreme weather conditions, as they are some of the most durable and promising marine cables on the market today.

A durable, compact, and light-sensitive underwater video camera specifically developed for monitoring fish feeding in aquaculture. The GroCamera provides the fish farmer with an indispensable tool for monitoring and evaluating fish appetite, animal behaviour, and the general situation in the cage.
Qualities
The GroCamera is a small and compact device that is perfect for monitoring fish feeding in aquaculture. It is equipped with a wide-angle lens, ensuring a full view of what is happening in the fish cage. The camera is also light-sensitive, allowing for clear visibility even in low-light underwater conditions. The device is also designed to withstand harsh environments, with strong and durable casing and cable.
Better Efficiency and Less Waste
The use of GroCamera allows the operator to take direct control of a feed line’s delivery to a cage. Under observation, the camera can see if pellets descend below the main body of the fish. This is a clear indication that the appetite is satisfied. As a consequence, both feed wastage and seabed pollution can be minimized, and production efficiency optimized.
Our customers say that investment in GroCamera creates value from day one. The GroCamera is an optimal tool for the realization of maximum fish growth potential.
