FY 2022-23 · 2022-04-11
Summary
The salmon farming industry is currently using an inefficient process to handle the movement of fish, causing poor fish health and resulting in reduced yield and higher costs. The patent pending VSI System will provide significant improvement to the movement of fish throughout the lifecycle of the fish farming process. The VSI system provides a more natural environment to encourage fish movement, which results in healthier fish, improved yield and is less labor intensive, which will benefit the operator and aquaculture industry as a whole.

Description
The salmon farming industry is currently using an inefficient process to handle the movement of fish, causing poor fish health and resulting in reduced yield and higher costs.

Description (French)
L'industrie de l'élevage du saumon utilise actuellement un processus inefficace pour gérer le déplacement des poissons, ce qui entraîne une mauvaise santé des poissons, un rendement réduit et des coûts plus élevés. Le système VSI, dont le brevet est en cours d'homologation, permettra d'améliorer considérablement le déplacement des poissons tout au long du cycle de vie du processus de pisciculture. Le système VSI offre un environnement plus naturel pour encourager le mouvement des poissons, ce qui se traduit par des poissons en meilleure santé, un meilleur rendement et moins de travail, ce qui profitera à l'exploitant et à l'industrie aquacole dans son ensemble.
