makes the shrimp grows faster and increase the survival rate by 35%. I saw this as a huge potential to increase shrimp production.”

Recently this innovative organization turned its attention to overcoming certain challenges endemic to the shrimp industry: disease control, pollutant environment, and insufficient stability in the farming system; resulting in inconsistent shrimp yields, high production costs and lower profits for farmers. “That’s why we need to improve, perfect the aquaculture system, as well as applying technologies such as lighting to increase shrimp’s growth and resistance to weather and season change,” says Loc Tran, founder and director of ShrimpVet.
Shrimp have historically been farmed in the absence of the lighting solutions that support farming of other types of seafood. ShrimpVet’s experts thought that the time had come to change that. “Applying technologies such as lighting would increase shrimp’s growth and resistance to weather and seasonal changes,” Loc says. ShrimpVet and Signify teamed up to perform research that focus on shrimp grow out phase using Philips AquaAdvance 260W Shrimp and a specific light recipe developed for shrimp.
The cutting-edge land-based aquaculture lighting offer in combination with its control systems are made to help to push your production further. Philips Aquaculture lights provide artificial light, replacing the sun by utilizing the unique fish light spectrum in an uniform fashion everywhere in the cage, avoiding shadows, flickering or other elements that create stress.
Lingalaks
Lingalaks recently started using Philips LED lighting to produce salmon in a new and more sustainable way. Next to improved salmon production, Lingalaks sees the potential for reducing the number of sea lice treatments.
Gildeskål Research Station
GIFAS was the first location to prove the benefits of intelligent Philips lighting Aquaculture LED solutions for the salmon industry. Working in collaboration with Lerøy Seafood, Philips showed that proper LED lighting technology increased growth and welfare, while reducing production costs and supporting sustainable development of the salmon industry.
Sjøtroll Havbruk
The Philips innovative LED solution was installed at Sjøtroll Havbruk to control parr-smolt transformation and improve survival rate of Atlantic salmon after sea transfer.
