EasyHatch
EasyHatch delivers better fry survival, easier cleaning, and higher capacity – a new standard for hatching substrates.
EasyHatch reduces mortality by up to 21% and increases capacity by 33% compared to traditional hatching substrates. Its unique, patented design with perforated grids and support pins ensures an even water flow and stable support for the fry, reducing stress and the risk of injury. This secures higher survival rates during the vulnerable hatching and first-feeding phases.
Easy assembly and cleaning
EasyHatch connects easily with locking mechanisms and can be mounted directly into different hatching systems without the need for extra support plates. The open design allows quick and efficient emptying of fry before first feeding, while cleaning and disinfection between batches become much easier and more effective. This saves valuable time and reduces operational costs.
Improved hygiene and fewer issues
By eliminating mats that collect dead material, the risk of fungal and bacterial development is significantly reduced. EasyHatch also prevents fry from getting trapped between the mat and the tank bottom, which can cause injury or mortality. This contributes to a cleaner, healthier environment that provides safer growth conditions for the fry.
Space-saving and cost-efficient
EasyHatch requires less space than traditional hatching systems, allowing better utilization of facility area. Its robust construction ensures long service life with minimal maintenance, resulting in low total costs over time.
Proven Performance
Tested in Marine Harvest facilities, EasyHatch has demonstrated clear benefits both in practice and under controlled conditions. Operators report a four- to fivefold increase in cleaning and washing efficiency compared to traditional substrates, while fry health and growth are maintained or improved.
