Signify and ScaleAQ are collaborating to use light emitting diode (LED) lighting for sustainable aquaculture solutions to optimize feed conversion efficiently, improve fish welfare, production and yield for fish farmers.
The companies plan to do this using an optimal light spectrum, light distribution and lighting control system that farmers can customize the light recipes for specific needs.
Better lighting results in better feed conversion ratio and lower maturation rate. LEDs also protect fish from sea lice infestation.
The Philips aquaculture LED lighting products will be resold by ScaleAQ with an initial focus on marine based/seacage products. The companies will develop lighting recipes, internet of things (IoT) and data insights to optimize agricultural businesses of the future, helping to create solutions for solid growth platforms for fish farmers.
While today the lighting products will serve the high demands of the modern seacage in terms of quality, durability and functionality, the companies will also focus on how to improve the products for future lighting products for aquaculture.
