FBD completed the design, supply and installation of Seafarms’ new prawn broodstock system at their hatchery outside Innisfail, Queensland. The system is intended to further research on prawn broodstock and domestication, reducing the need for wild caught stock. It was a joint project between Seafarms and James Cook University. The system comprises 16 x 10,000 L tanks run by two independent filtration systems. Each tank uses airlifts to increase tank water movement and waste removal. The system includes Faivre drum filters, RK2 fractionators, MBBR biofilters, Pentair UV sterilisers, Sparus pumps with Constant Flow Technology and Oasis heat pumps. The research conducted at this facility will benefit the entire prawn industry.
16 x 10,000 L tanks are run by two independent filtration systems so broodstock groups can be held separately. Each tank uses airlifts to increase tank water movement and waste removal. Water treatment includes Faivre drum filters, RK2 fractionators, MBBR biofilters, Pentair UV sterilisers, Sparus pumps with Constant Flow Technology and Oasis heat pumps for temperature control.

We approached Fresh by Design to assist us in extending our capacity to hold conditioned broodstock. High quality equipment and extensive product knowledge, along with professional and reliable services enabled our project to be completed on time and to a high standard. We found Fresh by Design to be very cooperative and focused throughout our whole project and would have no hesitation in approaching them again.
