The fish – welfare and health

Ovum addresses the environment in which we farm fish by re-vamping the production platform. Fundamental to our approach is that mortality can be significantly reduced by taking control over the farming environment. This is the ambition behind our new technology platform.

From a fish biology point of view, it can be stated that per every fish dying, there is at least five fish not feeling well. Likewise, it is also reasonable to claim the following:

→ Between «feeling well» and «being dead» there is an enormous potential for enhanced welfare and performance

→ Understanding fish welfare is therefore critical in fish farming. Ability to provide a farming environment that can support the best living conditions for the fish is not only utmost important to the business, but our given responsibility

→ Central to fish welfare is the problem of the salmon lice
