These products range from biomass measuring, feeding equipment and oxygen optimization to tools for closed cage treatment and logging of environmental data.

Vard added, "With a 30 year track record in the industry, Storvik Aqua has an established customer base that allows Vard Aukra to broaden its relations with potential clients in the aquaculture business."
