The new multinational agreement with Innovasea, the company said, will allow it to bring its water treatment solutions to a wider segment of the aquaculture market

Water treatment systems specialist Bio-UV Group and Boston, Massachusetts-based aquaculture technology provider Innovasea have signed a new multinational agreement to bring the company’s water treatment devices into the aquaculture market.

Bio-UV, based in France, designs and manufactures water treatment systems that use ultraviolet (UV) radiation, ozone, electrolysis, and advanced oxidation processes (AOP). Its water purification technology has been used in several different applications, the company said, including swimming pools, aquariums, industrial processes, drinking water, and aquaculture.

The new multinational agreement with Innovasea, the company said, will allow it to bring its water treatment solutions to a wider segment of the aquaculture market, as well as help the company adapt its products to meet standards in North America as part of a drive into the market.

“We are delighted to announce our new partnership with Innovasea,” Laurent-Emmanuel Migeon, Bio-UV Group CEO said in a release. “We are confident that, working together, we will open new avenues of business, especially in North America. This partnership is full of opportunities for expansion for both parties, as we share our passion for sustainability and benefit from each other’s expertise, experience, and networks.”

Bio-UV manufactures its products at sites in Lunel and Muret, France and Glasgow, Great Britain, and has mainly targeted the European market. The new partnership, the company said, will allow it greater access to the North American market – and the aquaculture industry.

“Aquaculture is an expanding industry critical to protecting our oceans from overexploitation and essential to maintaining global food security for future generations,” Simon Marshall, Bio-UV Deputy General Manager said. “BIO-UV Group is determined to play its part in supporting and growing this industry, through our UV water disinfection and ozone water treatment solutions. Innovasea has an excellent reputation in the industry and with established channels to market they are a perfect partner to accelerate our growth.”

Aquanetix’s farm management software is in use at more than 200 farms in 31 countries

Innovasea, a global leader in technologically advanced aquatic solutions for aquaculture and fish tracking, announced today that it has purchased Aquanetix, a UK-based aquaculture software company, and moved its operations to a new office in Greece.

Founded in 2015, Aquanetix’s cloud-based aquaculture management software provides customers with deep insights into farm operations.

“Acquiring a company of Aquanetix’s calibre presents an exciting opportunity for us,” said Innovasea CEO David Kelly. “By adding its powerful farm management capabilities to our suite of real-time aquaculture intelligence solutions, we’ll be rounding out our precision aquaculture platform and further helping our customers make data-driven decisions to improve operations, run more efficiently and sustainably and become more profitable.”

Diogo Thomaz, Aquanetix co-founder and CEO and his team have been retained by Innovasea and the company will be hiring additional personnel to staff the new office in Corinth, Greece.

“We’re thrilled to become part of the Innovasea family and add our farm management software to its strong portfolio of egg-to-harvest aquaculture solutions,” said Thomaz. “This is a wonderful opportunity for us to make additional investments into our business to enhance our existing tools and better serve our customers.”

Terms of the deal, which closed earlier this year, were not disclosed.

Aquanetix’s farm management software is used at more than 200 farms in 31 countries and is currently used to grow more than 30 species of fish and shrimp. By offering it alongside Realfish Pro, Innovasea has a complete suite of precision aquaculture tools that can handle all aspects of running a fish farm – from real-time environmental monitoring and control capabilities to powerful analytics that improve operations and decision-making.

Innovasea’s move into Greece is its second major expansion in the last three years. In 2020 it opened a full-service office in Puerto Varas, Chile.

Headquartered in the United States, Innovasea also has offices in Canada, Norway and Australia.

FlowFeeder is gentler on pellets than air-blown systems and enhances feeding regimens by minimising lost feed days

Innovasea, a global leader in technologically advanced aquatic solutions for aquaculture and fish tracking, today introduced FlowFeeder, a waterborne feeding solution that gently delivers feed to fish below the surface, minimising pellet damage and loss that’s common with air-blown feeding systems.

“FlowFeeder provides a better way to feed fish because it gets more pellets directly into the pen underwater,” said Langley Gace, senior vice president of Innovasea. “Rather than blowing feed pellets onto the surface above the fish pen where they can drift away, FlowFeeder delivers the feed at the depths where fish prefer to congregate. That means less waste and better feed conversion ratios – one of the keys to profitability at any fish farm.”

FlowFeeder is an end-to-end feeding solution that can deliver feed to multiple pens from a single, centralised point. It mixes feed pellets with water on the feed vessel and then gently carries the mixture into the pens.

The waterborne delivery system requires less power than air-blown systems and can reduce energy costs by up to 50 per cent – with farms that use diesel generators to power their feeding operations shrinking their carbon footprint as a result. Waterborne delivery also reduces damage to feed pellets, which are often fractured when blown through pipes by an air compressor.

FlowFeeder features a proprietary feed dispenser that can be placed at the ideal feeding depth for the species – and it does a better job distributing the pellets throughout the pen for all fish.

Because the feed pellets are delivered at depth, FlowFeeder enables farm operators to feed even when there are heavy waves, strong currents or surface threats such as harmful algal blooms or sea lice. That keeps fish stocks safe and significantly reduces the number of lost feed days to help keep growth targets on track.
