Linde Gases has launched the SOLVOX® DropIn – a highly effective and innovative technology designed to improve the delivery of O2 into fish farming sea cages.
The system is designed to be used in sea cages which experience unhealthy water conditions due to poor oxygen levels or where supplementary oxygen is needed, for example in harvesting tanks. Additionally, the technology is particularly well suited to sea cage oxygenation during sea lice treatment.
Issues surrounding unhealthy water include the presence of sea lice – which can compromise the health of fish. They damage their hosts’ skin through feeding, causing lesions and infections through viruses and bacteria. While sea lice occur naturally in the marine environment, they can represent a particular issue among farmed fish where a more concentrated fish population means infestations can take hold.
