The challenge
Create an ambient temperature for salmon to thrive
Salmon in fish farms need exactly the right temperature to thrive: too high and they grow too quickly; too low and they don't grow fast enough. Seasonal fluctuations can make finding that equilibrium challenging and there is only a small window of opportunity to get the tanks back to the right temperature.
So when Cooke Aquaculture found fluctuating temperatures in their tanks, they called us knowing we’d successfully dealt with the same problem the year before. We knew we faced logistical challenges with access and small onsite unloading areas, but were able to respond immediately anyway.
