Wellboat C018 / 0758
Wellboat delivery. Freshness on the store shelf has always been a priority for us. Wellboats containing two vats of water that closely replicate the farm water in terms of salinity and oxygen levels, suck the live salmon from the cages on the farm sites.As they transport them the short distance to one of thier two processing plants, they can monitor the fish from collection to dispatch. Cameras in the tanks let them see how the salmon are behaving. Water temperature is carefully regulated to help them settle and stay calm, avoiding stress factors which inevitably affect the quality of the fish

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of wellboat delivery in the world of aquaculture. With a strong focus on maintaining freshness, this company prioritizes quality from farm to store shelf. The image showcases two vats filled with water that closely replicate the conditions found on salmon farms, ensuring optimal salinity and oxygen levels. As these wellboats transport live salmon from their cages to one of the processing plants, every aspect is carefully monitored. Thanks to cameras installed within the tanks, fish behavior can be observed throughout the journey. This level of attention allows for immediate action if any stress factors arise, ultimately safeguarding the overall quality of the fish. One notable detail is how water temperature is meticulously regulated during transportation. By creating an environment where salmon can settle and remain calm, potential stressors are minimized. This commitment to reducing stress not only ensures better-quality seafood but also reflects a deep respect for animal welfare. Located in Loch Portree on Scotland's picturesque Isle of Skye, this innovative approach to aquafarming sets a benchmark for sustainable fisheries practices. Through their dedication to preserving freshness and monitoring every step of the process, this company exemplifies excellence in delivering top-notch seafood products. Captured by GUSTOIMAGES/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print serves as a testament to their commitment towards providing consumers with exceptional seafood while upholding ethical standards within the industry.
