Genetic expertise for trout farmers
XELECT has announced the launch of its new GeneXpertise service, a one-stop genetic broodstock health check for trout producers. For a modest, fixed price GeneXpertise customers will get advice on genetic best practice and a detailed report on the genetic health of their population, along with guidance on which crosses to avoid and which to make. Xelect have also developed a free online 2 Minute Broodstock Genetic Health Check to help business owners get a sense of how they are doing, and what they should look out for.

FLAKE ice or chip ice? We are often asked which is better within the fresh fish and shellfish industries. From our experience there are many questions that need to be asked, but preference and what ice has been used before often makes the final decision. Ice Systems can offer either flake or chip ice and most of our sales come from recommendation. Located in Grimsby, UK, we have plenty of experience with customers using both chip and flake ice within the local fishing industry. For further information on our machines please call us or fill in our online enquiry form.

TRIALS are getting under way, at the US Navy’s Wave Energy Test Site in Hawaii. for a groundbreaking experiment in renewable energy. The idea is to run Saab Seaeye’s Sabertooth autonomous vehicle, while in seabed residency mode, using wave power.
The Sabertooth will patrol pre-programmed areas to collect data, before returning to an underwater docking station for cloud upload and battery recharge. The Sabertooth is the only roaming and hovering system that can operate in both fully autonomous (AUV) and tethered (ROV) modes.
The charging technology comes from C-Power’s SeaRAY Autonomous Offshore Power System (AOPS) and its application is expected to prove useful for marine research, aquaculture and defence, among other sectors.
