Published purpose

The salmon farming industry is currently using an inefficient process to handle the movement of fish, causing poor fish health and resulting in reduced yield and higher costs. The patent pending VSI System (now termed the SmoothMove) will provide significant improvement to the movement of fish throughout the lifecycle of the fish farming process. The SmoothMove provides a more natural environment to encourage fish movement, which results in healthier fish, improved yield, and is less labor intensive which will benefit the operator and aquaculture industry as a whole.
