FlowCam for Aquatic - Shellfish Hatcheries and Fish Farming Applications - Agriculture - Aquaculture
FlowCam provides a powerful tool to assess food supply and health of larvae in shellfish aquaculture operations or to monitor harmful algal blooms in finfish operations. FlowCam is ideally suited for aquaculture research thanks to its unique ability to target phytoplankton and shellfish larvae in a single platform. Save valuable time and understand the fundamental building blocks of fish and shellfish growth with FlowCam.
- Analyze larvae and phytoplankton with the same instrument
- Quickly and reliably evaluate fertilization success rate, egg growth, and abnormalities
- Rapidly count and measure larvae at several developmental stages, assess their viability, and monitor larval transport
- Expedite analysis of water samples and evaluate productivity and plankton availability for food supply
- Visualize and enumerate predators to characterize when and where they spawn
Combining the basic principles of microscopy, particle counting, and image recognition, FlowCam enables rapid analysis and particle characterization for aquaculture applications as diverse as: water quality monitoring, harmful algal bloom prevention, shellfish reproduction and larvae research, microalgae culture growth, and predator threat monitoring.
Fluorescence capabilities allow for the differentiation of stained particles or the comparison of living and non-living organisms in your water sample with FlowCam’s versatile platform.
