Florida's aquaculture sees $34.1M loss after Hurricane Idalia

Shellfish farmers at Two Docks Shellfish in Ruskin, Fla., are saying they’re tight on clam supply. “There just aren’t as many clams in the world as there should be right now due to those two storms, and that has a series of downstream effects, revenue, employment, and things like that,” said Dr. Aaron Welch, president of Two Docks Shellfish. According to a report from ABC Action News, Welch said freshwater flooded the bay during Hurricane Ian last year, killing millions of clams.

This year Nova Scotia saw the largest recorded wildfires in provincial history, including the Barrington Lake fire in Shelburne County, which covered 230 square kilometres at its height. In response to the wildfires, the Nova Scotia Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture (NSDFA) announced in August that the province would be providing a one-time grant of $2,500 to licensed aquaculture operators, harvesting businesses fishing under an official license and licensed fish buyers and processors which were directly impacted by the wildfires.

3 reasons to automatically control DO levels while transporting fish

  1. Transport is stressful for fish. Ideal oxygen levels will help mitigate this stress.
  2. Poor or quickly changing water quality can causes stress in fish which may lead to poor survival rates.
  3. Climbing on the truck to take measurements with a handheld meter can be hazardous for the technician.

Controlling oxygen automatically can prevent fish loss, as well as reduce the stress on the fish. Find out more about the InWater monitoring system for live fish transport trucks, please visit www.inwatertech.com » Learn more
