operations with complete technical
solutions. Being a dedicated AKVA
group partner means leaving responsibility for technical matters to
external experts, while allowing
your own personnel to focus on
biology and production.
AKVA group’s team of professionals
knows what is important for your
success in the aquaculture industry.
We are able and willing to take on
the responsibility for delivering
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-howto 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.
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 considerations into the budget will also help
you identify constraints or bottlenecks
in your operation.
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.
“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 tedious, 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 manual in search of a solution to a problem.
Training of staff, face-to-face is always
a smart investment.
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 and
quality of our work by undertaking
thorough and detailed planning and
pre-project design of your farm.
This will enable you to focus on
biological and financial performance,
while the rest is handled by us.
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.
As a farm owner or farm manager your main concern is to
create a safe environment where your investment can grow
as fast as possible without adding more cost than necessary.
Partnering with AKVA group will allow you to keep your focus
on fine tuning operations to increase profitability, while
sharing the technical load with people who are experts in
achieving technical excellence.

Plug and play may be the preferred mode
for anyone wanting to connect two pieces
of equipment together. In an aquaculture

Farm Management
support
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 Management Support to help fine-tune your
site and for consultation and staff
training, ensuring the best possible
results.
Software support
An operation is only as good as the software 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.
Service & Maintenance
support
Systems running year on end, sometimes
in extreme weather, will always be subject to extensive wear and tear. In order
to maintain steady operations, preventive
service ageements and proper maintenance are critical. AKVA group’s Service
department has decades of experience in
supporting and doing maintenance under
such conditions.

External site operation
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
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.
More than 30 years of innovative solutions
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 testimony to the fact that AKVA group offers aquaculture
software solutions that are second to none!
Rules and regulations
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.
Tailor-made solutions for cost effective aquaculture
With decades of experience to draw from, our professional 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

All-Plastic-Cages: A well proven concept in
flexible cage design for extreme conditions...
Polarcirkel Cages
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, the
Polarcirkel 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.
New PIM Bracket design provides
superior strength.
Strong and
rigid HDPE
hand rails.
The Polarcirkel cages
include smart solutions for
fully integrated walkways,
sinker tube systems, safety
floatation and system
redundancies.
A secondary redundancy
safety chain placed inside
the outer floating pipe is
optional.
Polarcirkel quality and certification
All 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 500mm cage - a safe and
stable platform designed for extreme
weather conditions.
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.
Polarcirkel cage sizes
The most popular models
are the circular cages in 315,
400, 450 and 500mm floating
pipes with circumferences
from 90-160m.
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!
Proven Sinker Tube concept
As cages grew bigger and nets became
harder and harder to control in strong
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.
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 PIM-500 Bracket
Long life - built to withstand extreme conditions above and below the surface
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.
32
Polarcirkel cages are known for their
strong railings and high reserve buoyancy,
which is crucial in case of sudden
excessive net loads or icing.
AKVA groups proven sinker tube system
uses a vertical rope. No metal parts,
such as chain and shackles, can therefore 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.
33
When harvesting, the net volume is
reduced by lifting vertical ropes of the
sinker tube system. This leaves
no load on the handrails.
Extra wide catamaran design
New Polarcirkel Anchoring Connector
Polarcirkel’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.).
We 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).
Unique Polarcirkel redundancy systems
In 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!
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.
Net Hooks & Accessories
A 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.

Photo showing bushing type
hinge for less exposed sites.
The upper surface of each float incorporates sloping surfaces so that any
feed or debris deposited can be washed away by wave action or water
hose. High reserve buoyancy is crucial in case of sudden excessive net loads.
The patented moulded rubber hinge system allows the cage structure
to adapt to the wave profile, thereby reducing loads on the member
and ensuring longer life of the cages.
A wide range of smart, intergrated accessory solutions
Wavemaster has a proven track record
of installations on a wide range of sites
and in many different climates around
the world, such as here in Chile.
38
The handrail system provides tie off
points at the main walkway level, posts
to support the net and removable handrails. They can easily be removed while
the net is tied to the posts.
39
The Wavemaster Steel Cages include
smart solutions for fully integrated
non-slip walkways, net supports and
floats with self-draining top.
Wavemaster - a trusted steel cage concept...
Wavemaster began producing steel cages in Ireland in 1985,
in Canada in 1988 and in Chile in 1990, and today supplies
cages to all world markets. The large number of cages
currently in use on a wide variety of sites, operating under
diverse wave and wind conditions world wide, has demonstrated the reliability of the Wavemaster design. Produced
locally and designed to suit local markets, Wavemaster
provides the most cost effective steel cages available to
the industry. Steel cages are suitable for sites with moderate
exposure and strong tidal currents. Combined with a global
sales and service network, the Wavemaster Steel Cages
are a well proven concept indeed!
Feed Barge

The unique Polarcirkel EcoNet concept can
totally change today’s fishfarming! This longlife 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...
Deformation and loads
Net sample after 20 years use in seawater
in Japan! Full tensile strength is retained.
Fish escaping trough holes in the net accounts
for most of reported cases.
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 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.
The EcoNets are made to withstand rough conditions, stormy weather, predators,
biological or mechanical damage.
New ills.

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
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.
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 techniques will continue to be developed to simplify net handling and
ensure the best possible fish husbandry.

Four great challenges...
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.
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).

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

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

Good waterflow through the nets are crucial
at high water temperatures.
Redused marine fouling improves the environmental conditions
Fouled net:
Water with oxygen
passes outside the
cage.
Clean net:
Water with oxygen
is flowing through
the cage.
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.
50
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.

Up to 12 parallel feed lines...
Feed system
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.
The feed storage capacity in
each silo range from 15-70
metric tons (based on a
density of salmon feed at
650kg/m3).
Most feed barges are supplied with Quattro
feed system (4 feed lines). The Blowers
connect directly to efficient cooling pipes
outside the underwater hull.
Feed silos
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.
The feed is loaded into the silos
using either bulk bags or bulk
blower/conveyor systems. Hatches
are available in various sizes.
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.
Steel plate
thicknesses of
5.5 - 6.5mm.
The silo sections
are often made with
corrugated steel
plates in order to
achieve high strength
to weight ratio and
smooth internal
surfaces.
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.
Once the feed has entered the internal stainless
feed pipes, the selector valve sends it to the
correct cage via flexible HDPE feed pipe.
Akvasmart Feed Dosers are.

Certification guide, construction/anchoring:
The Wavemaster Feed Barges are designed in accordance
with DNV 1A1 Barge R3 classification. Steel hull, superstructures and feed silos are manufactured using marine
grade mild steel, type NVA or equivalent. All steel
construction is performed in accordance with NS470,
and all welding is tested by certified NDT (Non Destructive
Testing) inspector. The silo modules are constructed with
corrugated steel plates in order to get smooth internal
surfaces and a high strength to weight ratio (not all models).
All Wavemaster Feed Barges for Norway are certified in
accordance with NS9415 (The Norwegian Standard 9415
applies to marine fish farming equipment such as cages, nets,
moorings and barges) and NYTEK (directives) by NOOMAS
certification. See above table for applicable certification
codes for each barge model. (Some variations may apply
depending on country).The AM models have slightly different
anchoring pipe while the AJ 96 model only have standard
anchor connection lugs.

Feed Systems
Matches fish appetite...
The central feed system concept was invented by AKVA
in 1980 and Akvasmart CCS is today the most popular and
reliable feed system world wide. The system is suitable for
all species feeding on pellets. It is now also fully integrated
with camera control, pellet- and environmental sensors,
as well as Fishtalk production control software. All feeding
and environmental data is stored in the Fishtalk database.
This unique integration allows for full overview and control of
all operational activities from farm site to top management
level.
The Akvasmart CCS Feed System will feed the correct amount,
at the optimal rate, on time and every time. This powerful
system provides great opportunities to optimize the entire
feeding process.
AkvaControl is the leading edge feed system software, now
part of the Fishtalk software family. New functionality includes
meal planner, group feeding and adaptive feeding. Combined
with data from environmental sensors, this allows for efficient
analysis and benchmarking between farm sites.

Akvasmart Air Control System is
installed between the Air Cooler
and Feed Doser. Regulated air
speed ensures optimal pellet flow,
significantly reducing the risk of
blockage and breakage. If the
pellet/air speed is too low, the
risk for pellet blockage is
increased. If the pellet/air speed
is too high, dust and breakage
is increased. The system also
monitors and logs airspeed,
back pressure and temperature.

Rugged, splash proof Remote Control for rough outdoor use
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 startup 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.

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 calculate 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.
Temperature Sensor
The machined bronze housing
prevents marine fouling and makes
the sensor low maintenance.
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.
Optical Oxygen Sensor
Environmental current – knowledge’s prevents feed waste
The 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 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.

Note. The Temperature Sensor

The Current Sensor angles like a
pendulum when exposed to currents.
The angle is measured and converted
electronically to cm/sec.
Accurate environmenent control is a important insurance
Continuous data readings from the cages
are transmitted through the Akvasmart
wireless sensor network (CAP) or via an
EAP (Environmental Access Point).
96
Using the Temperature Sensor in combination with an Oxygen Sensor gives
a good picture of the environment.
97
The integration between Akva Control
and Fishtalk software provides the choice
of where and when to analyse the
environmental data.
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 environmental 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.
The EAP is then an active part of the feed system, allowing
connection of sensors such as temperature, oxygen and current.

BlueLED 100W with blue light rays, have the highest penetration
in seawater, and therefore the greatest efficiency. LED (Light
Emitting Diode) is often called ´eternity light´ and is the most
cost effective light solution on the market – and a perfect match
to a diesel generator. The light diodes have extremely long
duration with a predicted service life of up to 70.000 hours!
Which means; no bulb changing for many years ahead.
Recommended use: Tanks and smaller cages.
NEW BlueLED 360W with blue light rays is our newly developed
luminairie for the sea cages. This luminairie is utilizing the newest
High Intensity LED-technology with almost four times more effective
