Salt Water Well Testing

Résumé
The Victoria location utilizes salt water wells to supply water to both groups of biology: Halibut and Wolffish. This water is used in the rearing of broodstock, egg fertilization, yolk sac, egg incubation, first feed, nursery and grow out. Each segment of the operation requires strict control of variables to replicate environment seen in the wild. AMAR and its partners in both Iceland and Norway have been tracking the growth rates and health of fish and comparing this to operations in PEI. PEI shows inferior growth rates primarily due to water temperature. This project is a strategic effort to locate the coldest water on the site by expanding it coldest well and studying impact on growth rates and overall fish health.

Description (French)
Le site de Victoria utilise des puits d’eau salée pour alimenter en eau deux groupes biologiques : le flétan et le loup de mer. Cette eau est utilisée pour l’élevage des géniteurs, la fécondation des œufs, le sac vitellin, l’incubation des œufs, la première alimentation, la pouponnière et la croissance. Chaque segment de l’opération nécessite un contrôle strict des variables afin de reproduire l’environnement observé dans la nature. AMAR et ses partenaires en Islande et en Norvège ont suivi les taux de croissance et la santé des poissons et les ont comparés aux opérations menées à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard. L’Île-du-Prince-Édouard affiche des taux de croissance inférieurs, principalement en raison de la température de l’eau. Ce projet est un effort stratégique visant à localiser l’eau la plus froide du site en agrandissant le puits le plus froid et en étudiant l’impact sur les taux de croissance et la santé globale des poissons.
