Glasaal Volendam collaboration

Landing aquaculture and the eel reproduction startup Glasaal Volendam (www.volendamglasaal.com) have a history of working together since 2015. Our collaborative work spans from brainstorming sessions to upgrading their eel hatchery equipment, including:

• The collaborative design and supply a novel eel incubator tank (500 liters capacity,  transparent walls and the option to select upflow or downflow regimes providing Glasaal Volendam the flexibility required when doing research.
  
• The supply and installation of a RAS module with a bead filter, UV, MBBR and monitoring system as an upgrade to an existing laboratory.
• The installation of a backup oxygen system to protect the facilities against pressurised air service interruptions.
• The design and supply a larvae rearing system which included a vacuum degasser, moving bed bioreactor, UV, ozonation and protein skimming.
• Undertaking collaborative research on optimising LED lighting for both eel larvae and broodstock holding facilities.
