toward aquaculture’s future.

Collaborative Innovation

Combining 50 years of fish farming with

engineering expertise results in practical,

tested solutions designed hand-in-hand 

with operators—ensuring needs are met 

in real-life farming conditions.

Biology First

Technology is rooted in biological insight,

creating a 30,000 m³ environment tailored

for fish welfare, with holistic design that

integrates natural behavior, operational flow,

and trusted, scalable solutions embraced by those at sea.

Not just a concept

Currently, we have the world’s

largest submerged pen in 

Hardanger, providing us 

with real-world data to iterate on.

Research partners

All biological testing has been done in partnership with respected, independent research institutions including the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research and the Veterinary Institute.

Shared risk

We offer delivery models

that include shared risk.

Our success is tied to yours.

Flexible

Although designed for smolt

to slaughter fish, Watermoon is

flexible and can be used for postsmolt.
