AQUI-S® is an aquatic anaesthetic that has been developed to give flexibility and control in animal husbandry, transporting and harvesting operations. The ingredients are approved for use in foods and AQUI-S® is safe for use in food fish. Fish that are harvested using AQUI-S® have improved flesh quality, greater yield and longer shelf lives. The use of AQUI-S® during the transportation of live fish and during health management practices lowers stress and reduces mortalities.

Stress Reduction During Fresh Water Treatments

Bathing salmon in fresh water is a commercially important tool for the control of various diseases including Sea Lice and Amoebic gill disease (AGD).  These treatment operations are well known to be stressful to the fish which in turn causes significant quality issues during and post-treatment.  A recent study conducted in Norway has further hilighted exactly how stressful these proceedures are in terms of cortisol release.  If you would like more information from this study or other related work, please contact AQUI-S New Zealand directly (CLICK HERE)

Disease Treatments & AQUI-S® Sedation

Disease treatments in aquaculture have become a frequent and essential part of production.  In the salmon industry the frequency of treatments has increased whilst the effectiveness, in most cases, has reduced.  This is leading to higher costs associated with the practice and higher mortalities.  

Over the last 12 months AQUI-S New Zealand Ltd (AQNZ), together with its distributor in Norway, ScanVacc, have been working closely with customers to investigate the benefit of AQUI-S® sedation during conventional Sea Lice and AGD treatments in cages and well boats.  Based on customer feedback AQUI-S® sedation is giving greater safety margins, improved water quality and reduced mortality.
