Designed for versatility, the A-HSU is compatible with a wide lantic salmon (Salmo salar), cobia (Rachycentron canadum), range of species including salmon, trout, cod, yellowtail, sea European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax), gilthead seabream bass, sea bream, and shrimp. It can be installed in processing (Sparus aurata), king salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), facilities, RAS farms, and even on vessels or rafts for dead haul. red snapper (Lutjanus peru), and yellowtail (Seriola rivoliana).
