A well-boat is a fishing vessel with a well or tank for the storage and transport of live fish. Contemporary well-boats can be used to transport live smolt to sea, to bring them from aquaculture sites for processing, and to sort and delouse fish. When using well boats for transporting live fish, the wells must be hygienic, and the transport water changed regularly.
Xylem offers pumping equipment and effective UV and ozone disinfection that provide increased biosecurity. By treating the transport water with UV, pathogens are inactivated, reducing the risk of infection to cargo or the environment. Our ozone generators provide the ozone required for the disinfection of the fish systems, tanks, and pipework, keeping them hygienic, clean, and ready to receive the next batch.
