Consultancy
As fish hatchery technology developed in parts of the world
such as the Mediterranean, Fusion Marine developed the necessary
expertise and back-up, both in-house and through an extensive
global network of consultants with practical, hands-on experience
of commercial operations. Such a pool of expertise covers
virtually every fish species currently being artificially
spawned worldwide. Services offered can range from a full
turnkey project to specific services as requested by clients.
Full turnkey projects involve pre-feasibility and full feasibility
studies, site assessment and selection, hatchery design and
installation, as well as after sales service and if requested,
staff training and project management for a predetermined
time period. |

Water
Supply Systems
Securing the right quantity of the right quality water is
fundamental for ensuring the success of any hatchery operation.
With their extensive experience in the water and gas industry,
deriving from the parent company, Fusion Marine is uniquely
placed to advise and put in place such systems for hatchery
projects. The range of possibilities is extremely wide and
the final design and installation has to depend not only on
the fish species being farmed, but also on the geographical
location and the potential water source. This latter could
be fresh, salt or brackish water, open water or underground
source; the use of borehole water is becoming commonplace
due to its stable temperatures and its pathogen-free nature.

Systems
Refurbishment and Upgrade
Advances in hatchery technology and changing market trends
result in the necessity to constantly upgrade hatchery facilities.
This need becomes particularly acute when a change of species
being produced becomes necessary. Although there are significant
common requirements for most marine finfish species, specific
modifications are always required for different species. In
extreme cases, complete renovations are necessary. |

Production
Consequent upon the establishment of live food production
facilities on a commercial scale for sea bass and sea bream,
advances in the hatchery technology for other marine species
rapidly followed. Groupers, Asian sea bass, rabbit fish, red
snappers and pompanos are some of a wide range of species
that are currently produced in commercial hatcheries. Fusion
Marine are closely involved in these as well as developing
technologies for new species.
Egg
quality plays a vital role in the success of any hatchery
operation. Professionally designed and managed broodstock
facilities ensure good quality broodstock, which in turn
produces the required optimal quality eggs.
Hatchery
technologies took a giant leap forward in the last two decades
with the commercialisation of sea bass and sea bream fry
production in the Mediterranean. The scaling up to commercial
levels of the production of lives feeds, ie algae, rotifers
and artemia underpinned these developments.
Egg
hatching and larval rearing of marine fish species is normally
carried out in tanks up to a weight of 1-2 grams. Subsequent
prefattening of these fingerlings can then be carried out
either in the tanks or in purpose designed cages.
