Live crab overstocking systems have been built

By order of the North-West Fishing Consortium (NWFC) in April 2023, our company started the design and construction of seawater treatment and recycling water supply systems for crab holding basins in Murmansk and Veliky Novgorod at the same time. All works in full coordination with related parties were completed in 6 months.

The facility in Murmansk is located in a building with an area of more than 1000 sq.m. and is designed for simultaneous holding of up to 70 tons of live crabs in 400 cubic meter tanks. In Velikiy Novgorod the holding system occupies 300 sq.m. and is designed for simultaneous holding of up to 15 tons of live crab in tanks with total volume of 200 cubic meters. Maintenance of seawater temperature within +1 to +5 degrees C is provided by industrial chillers.

The crab life support system is equipped with salinity, temperature and water level monitoring devices

All work was carried out by the experienced specialists of Aqua Logo Engineering
