- Reduced stress
- Ensures stable water for eggs.
- Detects oxygen, temperature and ammonia changes early
- Reduces manual sampling and errors
- Optimises water recirculation and feeding
- Reduces waste discharge and improves effluent quality
- Enables transparent reporting for certification and regulatory compliance
- Supports sustainable freshwater aquaculture through smarter resource use
- Maintain Social Licence to operate
- Reduced mortality – Early detection prevents losses
- Optimised feed use – lowering feed costs

- Reduced downtime & remediation costs – Prevents costly interventions
- Improved predictability – Reliable growth and financial forecasting.
- Less risk for compliance breaches and fines
CASE STUDY
This data from a fishery illustrates the relationship between grab sampling (shown in red) and Eco Detection measurements (represented by the black line).
- High sensitivity site – discharge limit exceeded as measured by grab sample
- Regulator had commenced action against our customer based on one grab sample lab result
- Using Eco Detection data, regulator was satisfied that the short duration of the event was such that load limits were not exceeded
- Regulator stated that our client’s initiative to install continuous monitoring shows good will
- Penalty action dropped by regulator – thereby avoiding fines and reputational damage
- Eco Detection working with client – looking at root causing the peak detected, and the other peaks missed in the grab sampling
