The key lies in tank design, control of water flow, speed, and quantity.
We can filter out sea lice and eggs from the water flow and add oxygen.
Homogeneous water mass, water supply, and outlet throughout the entire water column.
Good hygiene. Easy cleaning on site, can be lifted out of the water for washing, disinfection, and annual inspection.
No escape - no predators
No lice or lice treatment
No pollution from net cleaning
No use of cleaner fish
Improved biological performance
Mortality expected to be reduced to under 1%
