Company Overview

Founded in 1989 AQUABIOTECH INC. is the first Canadian firm to have developed and used an intensive fish rearing system with 99.9% water recycling and more than 96% water heating economy in winter. After 5 years of R&D, this competitive technology is being offered for fry and juvenile culture(rearing volume 1 to 60 m). About 10 different species (cold, cool, fresh and saltwater) are presently reared with the REFB (Recirculation de l'Eau avec Filtration Biologique) in Quebec. AQUABIOTECH was selected for the turnkey setting of Laval University aquaculture laboratory (LARSA), now qualified as the state of the art in Canada. In 1999 AQUABIOTECH was installed the Nova Scotia Agricultural College's aquaculture laboratory. The company is presently setting up sales forces across Canada and abroad. In cooperation with three progressive companies, AQUABIOTECH also develops sophisticated electronic equipment for aquaculture (astrol photoperiod controlle). A unique demonstration area for the production of 50, 000 Atlantic salmon smolts permits testing technology before sales. AQUABIOTECH is dedicated to offer reliable services and equipment to fish farmers, aquaculture researchers and teachers.
