Development of fish pump for handling of salmon

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

MH has for long been working together with different industry suppliers to develop and test different fish pump technologies. Limitations with currently available pump technologies are often related to lifting height and maximum possible fish size for treatment. These are both key features to simplify the design of large scale delousing units, and importantly to secure that such units are as versatile as possible. A flexible and gentle fish transportation system in relation to salmon delousing systems are of key importance to reduce current levels of treatment related mortality and to safeguard fish welfare. In this project, we will refine an existing pump principle, with the assumed potential of establishing a more gentle fish pump system with higher capacity (tons/h), and flexibility in terms of lifting height and fish size suitable for ejector pumping.
