Hva vitenskapen sier om lys, vekst og laks

Belysning i oppdrettsanlegg er en vitenskapelig understøttet løftestang for ytelse.

Her i HATO har vi bygget vår tilnærming rundt studier, feltforsøk og biologiske mekanismer som viser hva lys virkelig kan gjøre for laksens vekst og velferd.

Her er hva vitenskapen forteller oss, og hvorfor det er viktig for din virksomhet.

Studie 1: Kontinuerlig lys forbedrer veksten

I en studie fra 2010 (Leclercq et al.) vokste laks som ble eksponert for lange lysperioder (LL) betydelig raskere enn de som ble eksponert for tradisjonelle fotoperioder. Fisk som ble utsatt for lengre fotoperioder , økte slaktevekten med >10 %.

Hvorfor det er viktig:

En godt timet lysplan fremskynder vekst og fôrutnyttelse uten å stresse fisken.

Studie 2: Pinealrespons og hormonell balanse

Pinealkjertelen hos laks regulerer hormonelle rytmer, inkludert de som er relatert til kjønnsmodning. Ved riktig intensitet (≥ 0,016 W/m2) undertrykker lyset melatonin, noe som forsinker kjønnsmodningen og utvider vekstvinduet.

  • Tidlig modning falt til nesten 0 %.
  • Seksuell utvikling ble undertrykt i kritiske smoltfaser

Hvorfor det er viktig:

Belysning blir en ikke-invasiv måte å forlenge produktiviteten på og opprettholde fiskekvaliteten lenger.

Studie 3: Fôreffektiviteten går opp

Laks som fikk optimalisert belysning (spesielt i det blågrønne området), spiste ikke bare bedre - de utnyttet også fôret mer effektivt.

  • FCR forbedret seg med nesten 10 % i kommersielle forsøk
  • Mindre fôr trengs for å oppnå samme (eller bedre) vekstnivå

Hvorfor det er viktig:

Fôr er din største kostnad. Belysning forbedrer avkastningen uten å endre ernæringsstrategien.

Konklusjon

Vitenskapen har gjort det klart: lys påvirker laksen på et biokjemisk, atferdsmessig og økonomisk nivå. Hos HATO Aqua har vi omsatt disse funnene til spesialbygde belysningssystemer som er enkle å bruke og som har vist seg å fungere.
