FISH TRANSPORT SYSTEMS The trouble-free, and stress-free trans porting of live fish requires specialist equipment. This includes the fish transport tanks themselves, and also the oxygen supply equipment. Selection of the size of transport tank d epends on the quantity of fish to be transported, the type of fish, the water temperature, and the duration of the journey. As a guide, it is possible to fill tanks with 75 % water, and 25 % fish, in the case of trout. For a 600l tank, this is equivalent to 150 kg of trout, for a water temperature of 10 °C. For carp species, the capacity can be 50 % higher, without problems. To maximise the carrying capacity, it is important to use oxygen, diffused through fine-pore diffusers. Where air is used instead of oxygen (using 12 V air pumps) the carrying capacity is reduced by 50 %. Where oxygen is used, a pressure-reducing regulator is necessary, to step-down the pressure from the oxygen cyclinder to approx. 3.5 bar. The oxygen is supplied to the diffusers in the tank by oxygen hose. In addition, an oxygen flow meter should be installed between the oxygen supply and the diffusers. This arrangement will allow the adjustment of the oxygen supply according to the amount of fish in the tank. For example, 100 kg of trout need 2 litres of oxygen per minute, at 10 °C. This doubles, for 200 kg of trout.

Fish Transport Thermoport – The ideal fish transport tanks for professional fish farmers and sport fishermen. Live fish are at risk if unsuitable or inferior containers are used during transport. Many years ago LINN erätebau de G veloped the hermoport fish transport T tank, which eliminates risks to the fish stock. These economical and well-proven tanks are available in five sizes: 190 – 290 – 600 – 800 and 1100 litres (details 1100 litres on page 32). The containers are produced in one piece without welds and consist of food-grade and chemically resisant plastic (PE). Consequently, they t...

190 litres 290 litres 600 litres 800 litres colour green - tank with sluice + 15 cm The perfected design of the tanks with rounded corners prevents injuries to the fish. The design reduces up and down 'slopping' of the water, and the fish are held steady. The containers have convenient recessed handles (except the190 litres containers, where the grips are screwed on). The sandwich-construction (600 - 1100 litres) has outstanding insulating properties that guarantee stable water temperature, vital for salmonids, cyprinids and ornamental fish. All Thermoport containers have a drain (1 1/4")...

Fish Transport Thermoport 1100 litres The new, bigger tank is made in one piece, without welds or seams. It is made of food-safe plastic (PE) which is resistant to chemicals and disinfectants, helping to maintain biosecurity between loads of fish. It is also tough and impact-resistant. Despite the large size, great care has been taken with the design to ensure all corners are round to prevent injuries to the fish and increase the stability of the water load. Thermoport 1100 litres with sluice and drain valve LINN Thermoport fish transport tanks have been tried and tested over more than 25...

The GRP fish transport tanks can also be fitted with a LINN Outlet sluice (200 or 250 mm diameter) or a standard sluice (opening from the outside), so that fish can be emptied out of the container easily, quickly and safely (see at page 34). In addition we have placed particular i importance on the fish transport tank's totally smooth exterior. This gives the container a pleasant appearance and makes cleaning easy, both inside and out.

Fish Transport The loading tanks are fitted with a LINN sluice 250 mm diameter. This sluice is also automatic. The sluice is opened by pressing a button, the fish are emptied out and in this way the loading tank can be used with a fork-lift truck to lift the fish over your trailer and empty the fish automatically into the container on your vehicle. The sluice is opened by means of a cylinder that is operated pneumatically by oxygen pressure. The display of the scales is fixed to the tank. A new feature is the rechargeable battery in the scales, enabling the complete unit to run without any...
