The solution, which is based on testing and experience in mussel on-growing sites in Norway, includes a system for on growing, as well as a machine for husbandry-work and harvesting.

The on-growing system is intended for areas where the mussels are pelagic and thrive in the upper water levels, and consists of several on-growing units, which are permanently in water. Husbandry and harvesting is done in the water without dismantling/reassembling the collector or buoyancy. It also has simple mooring and handling, is easy to move and has gentle motions in waves.

The units are adapted to each site using PE pipe for buoyancy with the mussel-collector running the length, secured with UV-resistant rope. It is also an aesthetically good solution, as the pipe length is less visible than when using traditional buoys.

Another unique product from Smart Farm is the husbandry and harvesting machine. It is custom-designed for Smart Farm’s on-growing system, and an excellent tool for efficient operation with a minimum use of resources - replacing most of the traditional labour involved with husbandry and harvesting.

The machine has many advantages for the user such as controlling spat-density by adjusting the machine’s brushes according to the reduction required; Smart Farm believes that by giving the mussels good conditions from the start, it will optimise growth and this is the only machine available that is able to clean the on-growing stretch under water before new spat attachments.

It also removes predators such as starfish, which reduces the empty sections of the collector.

Moreover, the machine allows gentle harvesting, as the mussels are pumped directly onboard the harvesting boat in one single, fast and gentle operation with minimum labour.

The collector cleans ahead of a new spat attachment. If harvesting is done during the winter, growth of fauna may occur on the collector and it is therefore necessary to clean before the new spat season. The machine is self-buoyant and is controlled from a hydraulic-panel onboard an assisting boat.

The Smart Farm solution promises reduction in manpower and better working conditions. Hence, an improvement of the total economic result.
