Ectosan® Vet
Ectosan® Vet is the first sea lice veterinary medicinal treatment to be introduced to the Norwegian salmon market in over a decade.
This new bath treatment, used together with CleanTreat®, is a breakthrough development for the aquaculture industry — providing an effective tool for use within the Integrated Pest Management strategy for sea lice; improving fish welfare, whilst protecting the environment.
Water Purification
CleanTreat® by Benchmark® is a water purification system. It is the first of its kind to be used in the aquaculture industry and works by removing medicines from treatment water before returning purified water into the sea. CleanTreat® makes use of the now common practice of using well boats for managing parasitic infestations, including delousing.
In 2019 CleanTreat® by Benchmark® received the prestigious NorFishing Innovation Award.
Aquaculture Stewardship Council have included CleanTreat® as a mitigation tool in their current ‘Weighted Number of Medicinal Treatments’ – resulting in all treatments receiving a score of zero
We want to build, with our customers, a future in aquaculture where fish welfare and care for the environment are considered key enablers of growth.
