Features
Read full description

The Digital SalmoFan™ app, when used together with the Digital SalmoFan™ color sensor, allows for the accurate scanning of salmon and trout color for objective measurements and ultimate quality control. The Digital SalmoFan™ can only be used to measure Atlantic salmon and trout flesh. It is calibrated for a SalmoFan™ colour range of 22 and above (salmon), or 20 and above (trout). Measurements are valid only when the flat adapter is properly installed. A minimum of 6 scans in the NQC area of the fish is recommended. The Digital SalmoFan™ cannot be used to measure salmon or trout skin, paper fan decks, or any other item. Carophyll™ and SalmoFan™ are trademarks of DSM.

Plan and finance, biology plan, finance – budgeting, economy control, production cost etc. Fishtalk Control captures data from broodstock to harvest and has powerful reporting and analysis capabilities. With the financial and planning modules, Fishtalk becomes a primary tool, from day to day use on a single site to mapping out a 5-year plan for the whole company. Fishtalk Control is developed with several modules, where the modules are the same system and do not require configuration of integrations. This provides benefits in terms of less risk of errors and reduced costs for setup, and one user interface to deal with. In order to maintain as much control as possible and comprehensive management, we recommend expanding with the Planning and Finance modules. This means all management data are in the same database that contains common functionality, and decisions may be made based on biology and economy.
