Seafood Innovations International Group Pty Ltd. Commercial Harvest Systems are used in Australia, Canada, Chile, Scotland, Norway, Faroe Islands, USA and New Zealand.
Seafood Innovations International Group Pty Ltd. has consistently re-invested its revenue in R&D since 2001 and continues to develop and advance Fish Harvest Systems.
In 2003 SI introduced the flow-through fish stunner and "autofeed" system, this is a major step forward in efficiency and quality.
In 2006, SI developed and introduced the flow-through "in line" bleeder to further enhance client efficiency.
Systems are used both on vessels and on shore.
Harvest rates of 3000 to 5000 fish per hour are achieved on vessels with only 4 channels. This efficiency is demonstrated on the Marine Harvest vessel, Tauranga, which harvests an average rate, typically, in excess of 10,000 fish per hour.
