Philips Lighting cracking the nut

Specifically designed Lighting system to:
Create deep swimming behavior reducing sea lice levels
Increasing growth while reducing sexual maturation
in a sustainable way
decreasing feed conversion ratio and mortalities

Combining the latest research & environmental

control to measurably improve profit

Philips Aquaculture Solutions, May 2014

Applying the innovative Philips LED solution for on-growing of Salmon:

Optimised light distribution
Optimised light spectrum
Anti-stress behaviour of the lighting
Results in benefits for Salmon farmers:
The Philips lighting solution attracts fish deep in the cage reducing sea lice
infections during summer and autumn
The Philips lighting solution penetrates light deep in the cages, minimizing
sexual maturation and maximizing the quality of the fish

The Philips lighting solution maximizes the useful light for the fish:
Increasing growth rate
Reducing the feed conversion ratio
The Philips lighting solution reduces stress levels the fish
The Philips lighting solution improves the fish welfare reducing mortality

One of the consequences of the sea lice and

infectious salmon anemia (ISA) that has been
affected several of Chiles regions is that
Sernapesca has limited the number of Atlantic
salmon that may be put into the water.
Marine Harvest CEO, Af-Helge Aarskog

Not that long ago Norwegian production costs were at NOK 0.20 per kilogram
now they near NOK 1/kg
Harald Sveier, technical manager for Leroy Seafood, agreed sea lice and anaemic gill

infections using Lighting during summer

Test performed at commercial scale (Marine Harvest / University of

Scotland / IMR): Frenzl et al, Aquaculture 424425 (2014) 183188
Placing appropriate lighting deeper in the cages attracts the fish below
the depth where sea lice infections takes place
Reducing sea lice infections up to 85%

Creating uniform light distribution

Conventional Metal Halide emits
horizontally, resulting in some
lighting pointing upwards and
downwards

Philips lighting solution emits a wide

and uniform lighting, resulting in a
distribution covering large areas
downwards

Negligible light level above and high

intensity underneath the luminaires

Deep swimming Philips solution

Philips LED luminaires are placed at 8 m depth in the water
The light is used during summer and autumn to keep the fish
swimming deep in the water in order to minimize contamination of
salmon with sea lice
The same lighting equipment can be used during winter in order to:
Increasing growth rate
Reducing the feed conversion ratio
Improve welfare and reducing mortality
