Title:

Voluntary Swim-In (VSI) System Development - Phase II - and Continued Field Trials

Agreement Number:

1007867

Agreement Value:

$405,710.00

Agreement Date:

Jun 26, 2023 - Mar 29, 2024

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. 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.
