Xelect and Petuna’s cutting edge breeding program to ‘climate proof ’ fish
GENETICS experts Xelect and Tasmanian fish farming business Petuna are collaborating to breed temperature-tolerant salmon, improving performance as water temperatures increase. The Xelect team worked alongside Petuna to develop a sophisticated genetic toolkit that routinely assesses warmer water resilience, and creates cumulative performance gains every generation. Xelect’s senior breeding programme manager Dr. Marie Smedley commented “Working with Petuna we’ve made significant advances this year, and we are both looking forward to seeing what happens next in our journey together”.

The right tools to manage fish eggs
MANAGING fish eggs is a delicate process and requires the right tools. The FIAP profibreed Fish Eggs Count Plate allows for quick counting of eggs and is easy to use.
The FIAP profibreed Egg Tweezers, meanwhile, are ideally suitable for sorting out dead fish eggs.
You can trust profibreed for premium quality, reliable and durable products. www.fiap.com/aquakultur.html
RS Aqua provide real time current data to salmon farms
RS AQUA has supplied the first real-time current profiler into Scotland for use with Innovasea’s real-time Aquaculture Intelligence system. The profiler is a Nortek Aquadopp Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP). Nortek ADCPs are world leading, but are generally deployed independently and record data internally. Innovasea’s system streams data to the salmon farm manager’s phone or PC, displaying current speed and direction in real time at multiple depths. It also shows a projection of how feed pellets will be affected as they fall through the water column, bringing a new level of efficiency to feeding practices.
