Freshwater programme

The final goal of the freshwater phase in the salmonid cycle is to get robust and smoltified fish that are well prepared to the seawater stage of the production cycle.

Our Freshwater Programme is designed to help you tackle biofilm related challenges and supporting the correct function of the immune system.  

Flavobacterium psychrophilum, Aeromonas salmonicida and Renibacterium salmoninarum can be challenges in freshwater, both in RAS and flow-through systems. A bacterial challenge can happen when the immune system is weakened. Therefore, to reach all the fish potential, it is important to support their natural defenses and to give them the power to tackle challenges in an early stage.

Promote optimal fish health from first feeding!

How we work

The AHV Freshwater Programme promotes the health of fish from fry to smolt and supports the immune system and growth. A healthy, robust fish in freshwater is essential for their future performance in seawater.

Benefits

Technology

Our products in the Freshwater Program work synergistically to promote the good health of juvenile salmonids. Our unique technology targets bacterial challenges at their core, disrupts the Quorum Sensing process and eradicates the biofilm structures where detrimental bacteria hide from the fish’s immune system. Without the biofilm, the immune system can efficiently eliminate these bacteria.

Animal Health

Challenges in the freshwater stage of development (water quality, handling, vaccination, smoltification) give stressful situations in fish that can make them prone to pathogenic bacteria, poor smolt quality, poor welfare, and death. The Freshwater Program is designed to promote the health and well-being of fish and decrease the negative impact of stress and bacterial outbreaks in juvenile salmonids.

Financial

Investing in the health of fish in freshwater contributes to reaching the full potential in seawater. This translates in better growth performance and economical return for producers.
