Turn your supplier into your partner...

Turning the key to a better operation

A complete solution is a new concept in the aquaculture industry. Choosing a AKVA group supplier is like choosing a business partner to help you plan and shape the best possible aquaculture operation based on your initial idea, challenge or problem. Your partner will take part in the planning and design of solutions to make your new farm optimal with regards to biological, economical- and technical risk, mechanical system design, site evaluation, system drawings, project planning, construction, assembly, startup and training of managers and personnel.

Project planning Hardware solutionsBudgeting Software solutions

Two heads think better than one, says an old proverb. In terms of planning an aquaculture operation it translates into allowing people with different know-how-to work together in the planning process. Letting AKVA’s technical experts team up with your own operational experts will allow a more holistic view of the planned project.

Are you happy with standard solutions or does your operation or employees require fine tuning of some of the hardware? In a carefully planned turn-key project, specific hardware requirements can be taken into account at an early stage so they won’t add extra costs or delays along the way.

Budgeting means planning ahead to create an image of the size and shape of your operations. It is imperative for the finance- and sales department in their jobs. Allowing technical conside-rations into the budget will also help you identify constraints or bottlenecks in your operation.

“I know the software can do it, if I can only figure out how.” We have heard it before, and aim to make all software solution a user-friendly and integrated part of your operation. This will turn it from a headache to a tool that helps you communicate with your equipment, and helps your fish talk back to you.

Many think instruction manuals are tedi-ous, they are, but still an important part of successful farm operations. Sufficient training of your staff and managers will minimize the amount of frustration that builds up while browsing through a man-ual in search of a solution to a problem. Training of staff, face-to-face is always a smart investment.

Minimizing risks...

AKVA group is the only supplier with the capability to offer both cage farming and land based aquaculture operations with complete technical solutions. Being a dedicated AKVA group partner means leaving respon-sibility for technical matters to external experts, while allowing your own personnel to focus on biology and production. AKVA group’s team of professionalsknows what is important for yoursuccess in the aquaculture industry.We are able and willing to take onthe responsibility for delivering technology with the quality, standards and service level needed to minimize the risk of technical problems which may lead to production down-time and associated financial losses. We will ensure the integration andquality of our work by undertakingthorough and detailed planning andpre-project design of your farm. This will enable you to focus on biological and financial performance, while the rest is handled by us.

AKVA group offers complecte intergrated packages with all the equipment and software you need for your operations.

Plug and play may be the preferred mode for anyone wanting to connect two pieces of equipment together. In an aquaculture facility, putting the pieces together may not be quite as simple – although it might seem like it when our experts are at work. Professional installations prevents future headaches and costly mistakes.

An operation is only as good as the soft-ware needed to manage it. Efficient farm control also needs efficient and timely software support that can lend a helping hand in times of trouble. AKVA group has an entire department dedicated to this task, ready to step in to get you back on track.

The start-up phase is critical to the success of any farm, and having a system expert on site for support will ensure optimal utilization of both your hardware- and software solutions. AKVA group offers full Farm Manage-ment Support to help fine-tune your site and for consultation and staff training, ensuring the best possibleresults.

Systems running year on end, sometimes in extreme weather, will always be sub-ject to extensive wear and tear. In order to maintain steady operations, preventive service ageements and proper mainte-nance are critical. AKVA group’s Service department has decades of experience in supporting and doing maintenance under such conditions.

Being able to run the farm by remote control, also means being able to hand over certain operations to people located off-site. AKVA group now offers a new operation package - the farm manager can focus completely on the fish, while our technical staff looks after the technical equipment.

Full software integration...AKVA group, the leader in aquaculture software

More than 30 years of innovative solutions

Rules and regulations

Tailor-made solutions for cost effective aquaculture

AKVA group’s software division has its origins in the merger between Maritech and Superior Systems. Both companies were market leaders within their fields; Superior Systems within operational control of marine and freshwater operations, and Maritech in systems for packing, sales, logistics and financial management of seafood production.

AKVA group has since then safeguarded their unique position, and has developed the integration between the systems even further. As a result, this is the most robust, flexible and user-friendly aquaculture software on the market. Integrated companies are able to trace every single fish from broodstock to the end customer, including audit trails, documentation and financial management.

AKVA group developed the first solutions for the seafood industry as long ago as in 1978. The very first system was run on an office computer, creating simple final notes for fish-buyers in Norway. From here packing systems for weighing and labeling salmon and trout were developed, followed by even more sophisticated aquaculture management solutions. This allowed for

detailed farm records, as well as accurate planning and forecasting. Thereafter, the sales and logistics solutions adapted especially to fish trading were launched. Our software is in use by most Norwegian aquaculture and fishery companies, a strong testi-mony to the fact that AKVA group offers aquaculture software solutions that are second to none!

The requirements imposed by national authorities for the aquaculture industry are in most countries changing rapidly and becoming increasingly more demanding. AKVA group’s Fishtalk solutions provide a sound basis for certification in accordance to the Global Gap and BR C quality standards. These require documentation for food safety, as well as for Health, Safety and Environment standards (HSE). This includes HACCP. Fishtalk also simplifies the mandatory reporting to the authorities.

With decades of experience to draw from, our profes-sional consultants will act as both partners and advisors. This in turn ensures the best possible return investment. It is not just a question of installing the software; training and knowing how to use it correctly is equally important. Our consultants will help you optimize your farming process; they will ensure that you deliver

the correct product to the correct customer every time; they will help you maintain recordkeeping to a minimum; they will enable you to target your sales to the market offering the best price, and so on. When providing our software division with your requirements, we will customize the solutions to make your business as efficient as possible.

Intelligent dedicated software ensures safer and more cost effective solutions

Wisefish is an end-to-end fully integrated ERP solution for the seafood industry based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

Fishtalk Processing ensures production control for the entire value chain within the processing plant from raw material reception until dispatch of final product.

Polarcirkel Cages

Strong and rigid HDPE hand rails.

New PIM Bracket design provides superior strength.

A secondary redundancy safety chain placed inside the outer floating pipe is optional.

Experience is a crucial success factor in the fish farming business. AKVA group (Polarcirkel) invented the plastic cage in 1974, and has since supplied more than 42.000 Polarcirkel Cages and 12.000 Polarcirkel Boats. The cages are made from raw materials especially suited for the dynamic loads of the sea, and are available in a wide range of models, shapes and sizes to suit individual needs.

Many have tried to copy these products, but none have managed to match the genuine Polarcirkel designs and quality builds. Plastic cages started out as small single pipe circles, but now our largest models approach 200m circumference, and with floating pipes of 500mm diameter. Both circular and square cage systems are available. Combined with AKVA group´s global sales and service network, thePolarcirkel Cage is well proven and recognized worldwide.

Safe Polarcirkel walkways

In order to increase crew safety on fish farms, another Polarcirkel innovation was launched in 1999; the integrated Polarcirkel Walkways. The anti-skid walkway panels fit securely between the two floating pipes, forming a stable and safe working surface. The PE pressure moulded panels are held in place with strong and flexible continuous PE tubing inter-locking the panels to the PIM brackets.

The Polarcirkel cages include smart solutions for fully integrated walkways, sinker tube systems, safety floatation and system redundancies.

Polarcirkel quality and certificationAll Polarcirkel Cages are manufactured and assembled in accordance with AKVA group’s Quality Assurance System (ISO 9001) which is certified by DNV (Det Norske Veritas). All cages in Norway are designed in accordance with NS9415 (Norwegian Standard 9415 for cage farming equipment to prevent fish escape).

Polarcirkel Cage History

32 33

Proven Sinker Tube concept

As cages grew bigger and nets became harder and harder to control in strong currents, Polarcirkel invented the sinker tube concept in 1989. A concept that later has been adopted as an industry standard. The Polarcirkel Sinker Tube consists of a 200-280mm heavy walled PE pipe filled with steel wires (typically 20-70 kg/m). It is supported by strong ropes fastened through the stainless steel sleeve in the PIM brackets.

Polarcirkel cage sizesThe most popular models are the circular cages in 315, 400, 450 and 500mm floating pipes with circumferences from 90-160m.

Polarcirkel Cages - designed for rough conditions... Strong Polarcirkel PIM Brackets

Extensive use of PE (Polyethylene) in our PIM (Pressure Injection Moulded) brackets eliminates corrosion, minimizes expensive and difficult maintenance, and substantially increases cage lifespan compared to steel brackets. This is especially important in areas with high salinity, warm water temperatures and choppy seas.

Only strong and high quality PE is used for Polarcirkel brackets, while many suppliers use weak and low quality rotationally moulded Medium and Low Density Polyethylene. This makes the Polarcirkel brackets superior in terms of structural strength, durability and UV resistance. This is especially important in high energy offshore farm sites and areas with high UV radiation from the sun.

For areas prone to icing, such as Norway and Canada, another critical advantage of the Polarcirkel HDPE brackets is that they will not ice up as steel brackets do. Icing is a dangerous safety problem for all floating structures, including cages. Heavy ice overloads the cage, reduces stability and jeopardizes overall cage integrity. As the name indicates, the Polarcirkel cages are well suited for extreme arctic conditions!

All Polarcirkel Cage designs are carried out by our professional R&D department. Independent marine engineering consultants are also involved in advanced static and dynamic load calculations to ensure all designs meet or exceed expected real life loads as well as applicable industry standards.

AKVA groups proven sinker tube system uses a vertical rope. No metal parts, such as chain and shackles, can there-fore cause damage to the net.

All the weight of the net and sinker tube system is supported by the floating pipe - NOT by the handrail.

When harvesting, the net volume is reduced by lifting vertical ropes of the sinker tube system. This leaves no load on the handrails.

Forget corrosion! Photo showing a Polarcirkel bracket after ten years in saltwater!

A wide range of flexible Polarcirkel cages are designed for extreme weather conditions, such as here on Norway’s stormy coastline at 70° North.

Polarcirkel cages are known for their strong railings and high reserve buoyancy, which is crucial in case of sudden excessive net loads or icing.

Extra wide catamaran designPolarcirkel’s extra wide catamaran design ensures maximum cage stability and railing stiffness. Combined with strong stanchions and interlocked railing design, this make the Polarcirkel Cages safe and easy to work on without sacrificing seaworthiness and strength.Due to its low weight-to-strength ratio, the Polarcirkel Cages have very high reserve buoyancy compared to cages with other brackets. This easily results in our larger cages having up to 4-5 metric tons higher reserve buoyancy. This substantially increases cage safety margins in case of sudden operational problems that weigh down the cages (icing, mass mortality, storms, strong currents etc.).

Unique Polarcirkel redundancy systemsIn addition to obvious redundancy safety factors such as individually secured brackets, individually secured anchoring connector and Styrofoam inside floating pipes, Polarcirkel also offer an optional secondary continous safety chain inside the outer floating pipe. This will serve as an unbreakable barrier in case the cages integrity is severely compromised. Keeping the chain inside the pipe leaves it out of the weather until needed and maintains a clean exterior cage layout. All of this makes the Polarcirkel Cages the safest and most escape proof cages on the market!

Net Hooks & AccessoriesA wide range of integrated accessories are available for the Polarcirkel Cages, including:

• Various types of Polarcirkel Net Hooks. These systems simplify net handling on the cages and provide a secure attachment point for your nets.• Polarcirkel Center Support Stands. These are placed in the center of the cage to keep the bird nets high off the water. Standard sizes from 1.5m to 5m high. Custom sizes are also available.• Feed systems, cameras and environmental sensors, wireless networks, cage lighting etc.

Most plastic cages are moored in a grid system and include sinker tube, center support stand, feed system/barge, cameras and sensors.

Polarcirkel Cages are used all over the world, such as here at a Vietnam cobia farm.

Various types of net hooks are available. The systems simplify net handling on the cages and provide a secure attachment point for your nets.

New Polarcirkel Anchoring ConnectorWe are now introducing a new and innovative anchoring connector system that simplifies the anchoring process and improves the structural strength of the cage when anchored at the site. This anchoring connection is also NS9415 certified. (Norwegian Standard 9415). Main design features include:• Practical and safe shackle point connection • No corrosion • No boat damage or obstruction from anchor lines• Separates cage bracket from anchor load• Allows for custom positioning to match anchor grid system• Primary load to inner floating pipe that carries main net loads• Secondary back-up connection to outer floating pipe • Extra wide load distribution sleeve eliminates point loading• Freely rotates anchor load perpendicular to the floating pipe• PE sleeve on PE pipe minimizes pipe chafe• Sideways locking system allows for safe angular loads

The new Polarcirkel anchoring connector eliminates most of the weak points typical of steel brackets: Corrosion, damage to work boats, sideways jamming of brackets, chafe on floating pipes, need for chafe sleeves, point loading floating pipes, bending connection lugs, icing loads etc.

Nets

• High durability• Escape prevention• Maximized water flow• No need for antifouling paint• Easily recyclable material

The unique Polarcirkel EcoNet concept can totally change today’s fishfarming! This long-life net technology has been used to make over 4000 fish farming nets in Japan since 1988, in addition to many other usages including shark nets, rock slide nets etc.

The EcoNet is made from very strong but light weight PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) and has some superior characteristics, including: being virtually escape proof, predator proof and has a 20-year lifespan compared to nylon nets that often only last 4-7 years. The non-fibre wire has very hard surface that resists marine fouling and makes it easy to clean in the water using Idema Net Cleaners. This also eliminates the use of antifouling paints and ongoing net changes.

The Polarcirkel EcoNet semi-rigid structure keeps the net shape intact to maximize water flow and oxygen to the fish. PET is easily recyclable!

Polarcirkel EcoNet - High durability and escape prevention...

New ills.

The semi-rigid structure keeps the net shape intact to maximize water flow and oxygen supply to the fish.

A 20cm long cut in regular netting will open wide and the fish will escape.

Net sample after 20 years use in seawater in Japan! Full tensile strength is retained.

Fish farm net deformation and loads are affected by three main factors: CURRENTS + NET TYPE (rigidity, drag, strenght) + NET WEIGHTS. The unique semi-rigid and low-drag EcoNets maintain a superior net shape in strong currents compared to conventional nets, thus providing optimum water flow and oxygen levels for your fish. Less net weights are then required to keep EcoNets in place. The result is reduced deformation/drag, reduced risk of net chafe/damage and reduced overall displacement (weight) of the entire cage system. This means less load on the mooring systems and more reserve buoyancy for the cages.

The EcoNets are made to withstand rough conditions, stormy weather, predators, biological or mechanical damage.

The same cut in an EcoNet will tend to stay closed due to the double twisted thermo formed semi-rigid structure and non-tearing weaving.

The new PET netting wire retains tensile strength for 20 years below and above water. This graph shows results of long-term outdoor exposure tests.

The PET wire used for EcoNets is chemical and seawater resistant. This graph shows results of long-term seawater exposure tests.

Example of EcoNet cage in 0.5 knots current (0.25 m/sec.). The net will still keep a very good and stable shape.

Conventional nets will deform more than EcoNet in the same current.

Polarcirkel EcoNet keeps the net shape intact and maximizes water flow and oxygen to the fish...

The Polarcirkel EcoNets are made for rough, daily use, from very strong but light weight PET, (Polyethylene Terephthalate).

For shorter periods, Polarcirkel EcoNet can be hooked onto the railing net hooks when dried up.

The floating plastic cage (floating collar) is the component of the fish farming cage that supports the entire weight and loads of the entire EcoNet (not the railing).

Extra strong long-life nets

The hard non-fibre wire reduce settling of marine fouling and makes the net easy to clean with Idema Net Cleaners. This also eliminates the use of anti-fouling paints.

Standard EcoNets made for circular and square cages. The upper section have vertical walls with a 1m jump-net up top and the bottom is normally cone shaped.

Photo showing towing of a new Polarcirkel cage with EcoNet to a new location.

If overloaded, EcoNet stretch about 60-70% before it finally breaks.

In comparison, nylon stretch about 40% before it finally breaks.

The shape of the EcoNet wire mesh is designed to remain intact if a single wire is cut. This means the mesh will remain stable and the shape intact with minimum negative effect of the strength of the net cage structure. The Polarcirkel EcoNet is made from very strong but light weight PET, (Polyethylene Terephthalate).

Polarcirkel EcoNet is available in two different mesh sizes:

Easy to install - easy to keep clean

Once the Polarcirkel EcoNet is installed in the cage there is no need to disconnect it during normal operations. Exceptions will be in case of net damage. The EcoNets are cleaned in the water and are not taken out for cleaning or antifouling.

Net handling and fish husbandry

Although Polarcirkel EcoNet is a semi-rigid net, it can still be handled in very similar ways to a nylon net. This includes drying up the net for crowding fish during harvest, fastening the net to the cages and attaching sinker tubes etc. However, as the EcoNet is being tested and used in new markets and for new species, new and better tech-niques will continue to be developed to simplify net handling and ensure the best possible fish husbandry.

• Polarcirkel EcoNet is approved for fishfarming use according to Norwegian Standard 9415 (NS9415).

Long term testing shows that Polarcirkel EcoNets retain full strength even after years of exposure to weather, sunlight, chemicals, seawater, abrasion and the sharp teeth of various fish and predators. Most other fibre type netting degrade relatively fast.

Idema Net Cleaning Systems

Idema Net Cleaners were launched in 1987, and are today renowned for quality, high performance and their ease of use. The first Net Cleaners had single 30cm diameter cleaning discs, operated from the cage edge using a shaft. Underwater pressure washing of cages containing fish has become even more common as the requirements to environmentally friendly aquaculture in larger cages provides the best scale of economics.

With this in mind we have developed and improved the Idema Net Cleaners and can now present the best range of Net cleaners and high pressure pumps ever. This combination offers you the most effecient cleaning system suited for all types and sizes of cages.

Effective Net Cleaning ensures optimum oxygen levels and faster growth...

The width of the cleaning path ranges from 80cm up to 290cm. The largest model uses 7 washing discs.

Strong marine fouling on the net will reduce the oxygen supply. Algea growth can increase bacterial loads and cause diseases and stress in the biomass.

It is proven that increased marine fouling leads to reduced water flow. As a result, the oxygen rich water will mostly flow around the cage.

Fouled net:Water with oxygen passes outside the cage.

Clean net:Water with oxygen is flowing through the cage.

Redused marine fouling improves the environmental conditions

The new ejector creates a significantly better push against net. It is available as an option on all on all new frames, or as an upgrade-kit for already delivered net cleaners.

Environmental data helps you to stimulate growth

Environmentally friendly, flexible and smart solutions...In Net Cleaning, filtered high pressure sea water is used to remove marine fouling on the nets. Idema Net Cleaners use rotating cleaning discs mounted on support frames in various shapes and combinations. We use rugged, tailor-made high-pressure pumps to drive the cleaning discs. The cleaning process starts with submerging the frame on the inside of the net, using only sea water under high pressure. Idema cleaning systems do not use chemicals or scrubbing action making them environmentally friendly while ensuring minimal wear on the nets.

This Optical Oxygen Sensor connects directly to the feed system and can stop the feeding at low oxygen levels.

Idema Net Cleaners also keep nets clean in tropical waters, as here in Thailand.

It is extremly important to keep the weight of the cages light in cold periods. Icing and fouling can indirectly cause breakdowns and serious damage.

The width of the cleaning path ranges from 80cm, up to 290cm for the largest model using 7 washing discs. The discs are generally delivered in 40cm diameterbut can also be ordered in 30cm or 50cm diameter.

Heavy Duty Cleaning discs with smooth front rail in stainless steel ensures minimal wear of the net. The discs have low resistance in the water, extra high rotation speed - from 750 to 1500 rpm depending of water pressure, flow rate and cleaning disc diameter.

The Heavy Duty center bearing with silicium-carbide pressure housing mean less service calls and minimal down time.

Extra strong 2-layer steel reinforced high pressure hose with strong connector fittings for heavy duty use.

A video camera provides full control of the Net Cleaning

On the larger Idema frames we offer tailor-made camera and video systems that provide a full overview, and the possibility to inspect of the nets. A camera installed direcly on the Net Cleaner will send you crystal clear video images that can be saved for later inspection and documentation of the net cleaning process.

One of the new models in the Idema range; an effective 7 disc washing rig with a stainless steel protective for the net.

A wide range of models - up to 7 cleaning discs The large Net Cleaners can be operated in automatic mode by two persons using a crane, winch, cap stand or as a integrated option on ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle). The smallest Net Cleaners can easily be operated from the cage by a single person.

The environmental conditions in the cages are the most vital parameters for top quality and faster biomass growth.

With a Polarcirkel Cabin workboat you can easily visit the site and watch the net cleaning on a PC screen.

With one of our smart camera systemsyou can watch the net cleaning bothabove and below water, via cable or via a wireless sensor network (CAP).

High quality - economic solutionsThe main purpose for a feed barge is to provide the most efficient, optimized and reliable feed system for your farming operations. The second purpose is to provide a safe and seaworthy barge that can withstand the forces of nature at your farmbase site.

Historically, feed systems have been built into feed barges. AKVA group has now turned this around and builds feed barges around feed systems! This means that the entire feed system installation must first and foremost be FEED CARE CERTIFIED with optimal internal feed pipe design (stainless piping, routing, sweeps, connections, vertical lift, air cooling, air control system, selector valve positioning etc.). This is now built into all Wavemaster Feed Barges.

Each individual barge model has also been optimized to ensure the lowest possible cost compared to size of barge. As a result, the AKVA groupFeed Barges are the most cost efficient barges on the market with no material or space wasted.

Akvasmart Feed Dosers are. available with capacities from 10g/sec. to 192kg/min.

Real time measurement of airflow, backpressure and temperature ensures optimum feed handling.

The feed storage capacity in each silo range from 15-70 metric tons (based on a density of salmon feed at 650kg/m3).

Steel plate thicknesses of 5.5 - 6.5mm.

Feed system

Full control of the feeding process from silo to cage...

Feed silos

Once the feed has entered the internal stainless feed pipes, the selector valve sends it to the correct cage via flexible HDPE feed pipe.

Each silo can hold from 15 - 70 mtons of feed and connects to a FEED CARE CERTIFIED doser valve that transfer feed into the stainless feeding pipe.

Most feed barges are supplied with Quattro feed system (4 feed lines). The Blowers connect directly to efficient cooling pipes outside the underwater hull.

Up to 12 parallel feed lines...All barges have built-in Akvasmart CCS Feed Systems, and the largest models are available with up to 12 parallel feed lines. Most are supplied with 90mm Quattro systems (4 feed lines), but some with Twin (2) and some Hexa (6). The Feed Blowers are installed in the machine room together with the control cabinets. Cooling pipes for the feed transport air are welded to the outside hull in a protected position below the water line. The standard dimension is 110mm in order to prepare all barges for future expansions. The feed enters the air flow through the Doser Valves and is then blown through seamless stainless pipes inside the barge and up to the Selector Valves on the exterior main deck platforms. From there, the feed continues through the PE feeding pipe to each cage, where Rotor Spreaders distribute the feed onto the cage surface. The entire process and feed system is FEED CARE CERTIFIED. All optional equipment, such as networks for integrated camera-, pellet- and environmental sensors is installed at the shipyard. The barges are ready for start-up and feeding once it is moored at the farm site and feeding pipes connected. All systems are operated from the comfortable main Control Room, with great panoramic views of the cages.

All barges have large built-in bulk feed silos with weather proof loading hatches at the upper deck level. The standard loading hatches are 180x240cm with two smaller hatches inserted. This enables maximum utilization of available silo volume when fully loading the silos. The number of silos ranges from 4 to 24 (see table), but most barges have the optimal 8 silos for the Quattro feed systems. The silo capacity range from 15-70 metric tons depending on the model (silo capacities are based on salmon feed density of 650kg/m3). The feed is normally loaded using a crane and bulk-bags (500-1000kg bags), but the latest method is bulk delivery directly from large feed supply vessels using blowers or conveyors.

Userfriendly disinfection and cleaning

The Akvasmart Feed System concept is the only central feed system on the market designed to allow for simple but thorough cleaning and disinfecting if required. The silos can be steam cleaned and degreased internally with the Feed Doser and Feed Blower running, blowing debris and grey water out of the barge. This process also cleans dosers, internal piping, selector valve and feed pipes.

Silo loading hatches are available in various sizes. Photo showing dual size bulk loading hatches for blower / conveyor filling.

All internal feed piping systems are FEED CARE CERTIFIED stainless steel pipes with optimal connections, bends and routing to preserve the pellets.

Full control of the feeding process using Akvasmart Feed System and cameras from the feed barge control room.

The feed is loaded into the silos using either bulk bags or bulk blower/conveyor systems. Hatches are available in various sizes.

All Wavemaster feed barges are designed by professional naval architects to meet all required regulations.

The air control system keep the pellet speed in the gentle feed handling area, significantly reducing the risk of blockage and breakage.

The unique Akvasmart CCS feed system is perfectly integrated on a wide range of Wavemaster feed barges.

Air Cooler Feed Doser Feed Selector Rotor Spreader

Rotor Spreader flow chart:

The unique Rotor Spreader is designed to provide excellent feed spread in cages. All our models have adjustable light weight aluminium rotor pipes that allow for lower air speed for start-up and rotation. This means less dust and breakage, power consumption, back pressure, air temperature, noise and wear and tear on the feed pipes. Our unique ventilated Zenon bearing requires no regular cleaning and does not corrode. Due to its light displacement and low point of gravity, the Rotor Spreader is very stable in rough seas. All Akvasmart Rotor Spreaders are easy to install and simple to maintain.

Key functionality in AkvaControl:

• Full farm overview at a glance – Intuitive and logical screen views at multiple levels such as entire farm, each unit (cage, tank or pond), each feed line or each fish group.

• System capacity planning - Can the feed system meet your planned daily feeding require-ments? Prior to feeding, AkvaControl will compare actual feed system capacities with required feeding regime. Conflicts are visualized in order for the operator to optimize daily feed system capacities.

• Advanced meal planning – This powerful planning tool simplifies the setup of feeding individual meals at group or unit level.

• Multiple group feeding regimes - Groups of units with identical criteria are treated equally. This especially simplifies the setup and daily management of cyclic feeding of many units.

• Hopper control – AkvaControl allows for advanced operation of individual feed hoppers as well as centralized feed systems. One system software can therefore control all feeding activities at the farm.

• Integrated feeding camera control – Camera selection is done in the main screen view. Manual or automatic camera selection can be set up to monitor the feeding.

• New Air Control System - Through real-time measurement and control of the air flow, air temperature and back pressure, AkvaControl allows for optimizing pellet transportation. The result is full Feed Care Certification where feed dust and breakage are minimized. This also reduces the risk of feed blockages.

• Wizards - AkvaControl utilizes Wizards to further simplify the setup and daily management of the feed system.

• Powerful reporting and analysis tools - The powerful report generator provides a complete overview in various time ranges and for various data. This allows for advanced analysis to optimize feeding regimes.

Gentle feed handling without blocking feed pipes

Real time measurement of airflow, backpressure and temperature ensures optimum feed handling.

• Low airflow: Blocked pipe.• High airflow: High risk of dust and breakage.

The Air Control system is visualized in AkvaControl through a simple graph per feeding line. The graph displays real-time data for each unit being fed, and automatically adjusts the blower speed to ensure operation in the gentle feed handling area.

Why use a camera to monitor feeding?Cage sizes have rapidly increased over the last 20 years, and as a result, the visible area has decreased accordingly. In a cage of 160 diameters, only 0,2% is visible from the surface. Therefore a submersible camera is a requirement for monitoring and controlling feeding.

Environmental Sensors

Environmental data is a critical feeding parameter...

To know the environmental data as temperature, oxygen and current speed are factors that are important inputs when feeding fish. In the Akvasmart CCS Feed System all these factors can be set to automatically control or adjust the feeding. All environmental data will be logged and can be used in further analyses either in AkvaControl or in Fishtalk.

Temperature - the foundation for all feeding regimes and growth models. The Akvasmart Temperature Sensor is a reliable and robust sensor that can be submerged at desired depths. Accurate real time readings are displayed and logged by the AkvaControl Feed System software. AkvaControl can cal-culate the expected daily feed amount based on feed tables with measured temperature data. The Akvasmart Temperature Sensor is connected to the Akvasmart CCS Feed System either by connection to the Akvasmart CCS Selector Valve or via the CAP network.

Oxygen – an important factor for growth and fish welfare.The Akvasmart Oxygen Sensor is connected to the Akvasmart CCS Feed System and can stop the feeding at low oxygen levels in water. The Oxygen Sensor is an optical sensor that is robust and dependable with no need for water flow. The only maintenance is periodic cleaning and there is no need for re-calibration. The principle of operation is to illuminate the oxygen as the reflected light is a measurement of dissolved oxygen in the water.

Environmental current – knowledge’s prevents feed wasteThe Akvasmart Current Sensor is connected to the Akvasmart CCS Feed System and will prevent feed waste caused by tidal current that pushing pellets out of the cage. The Akvasmart Current Sensor is located in strategic positions at site and you set which cages that are connected to the sensor and the maximum tidal current speed (in cm/sec) that allows feeding. When the current speed exceeds the limit, the feeding temporarily stops in these cages and resumes at slack current later, all other cages will be feed as scheduled.

The integration between Akva Control and Fishtalk software provides the choice of where and when to analyse the environmental data.

Continuous data readings from the cages are transmitted through the Akvasmart wireless sensor network (CAP) or via an EAP (Environmental Access Point).

Using the Temperature Sensor in combi- nation with an Oxygen Sensor gives a good picture of the environment.

The Current Sensor angles like a pendulum when exposed to currents. The angle is measured and converted electronically to cm/sec.

The machined bronze housing prevents marine fouling and makes the sensor low maintenance.

The absolute oxygen concentration is measured by illuminating a membrane with modulated blue light and by reading the phase changes in the reflected red light. The signal is then linearised and temperature compensated.

Environmental Access Point (EAP)

Full integration of environmental sensors The EAP is directly linked to the Akvasmart CCS Feed System via the AkvaControl software. Collecting and logging environ-mental data from one or multiple depths provides better control of the feeding and possibilities of analysis of environmental data compared to feeding data. The EAP (Environmental Access Point) is a robust sensor connection hub that allows connection of multiple sensors in one location. The two-way communication between EAP and the feed system is either wireless or hard wired.

Land Based Aquaculture- from extensive to intensive solutions...

AKVA group offers a wide range of land based aquaculture technology, from single components to turn-key installations worldwide. The complete range of quality products and software provides maximum reliability and cost effectiveness. Unlike the short history of cage farming aquaculture, land based aquaculture goes back thousands of years with most of the production being fresh water farms in China and Asia. Land based aquaculture is today one the fastest growing food industries in the world. Although most of the industry was developed as extensive fish farming in ponds with low technology solutions, the main reason for today’s growth is the increased use of intensive solutions and the latest innovations in water treatment technology. This makes it possible to maintain excellent water quality combined with exceptional low water- and energy consumption. Over the last 20 years, energy consumption per kilo fish produced has been reduced by more than 80% while water recirculation has increased to more than 99%. In addition to freshwater, AKVA group also has unique knowledge in saltwater recirculation systems, making it feasible with profitable production of almost any species anywhere in the world. Our main success criteria include scientific competence, practical experience and close cooperation with both customers and research communities. This has enabled us to develop innovative and cost-effective solutions for most land based aquaculture projects.

AKVA group has more than 30 years of aquaculture experience in designing and supplying viable recirculation systems. For more information,
