Helping you select the best aquaculture sites for optimal production

At DHI, our advanced modelling techniques and environmental and hydrodynamic expertise can help you identify optimal sites for aquaculture production.

At DHI, our advanced modelling techniques and environmental and hydrodynamic expertise can help you identify optimal sites for aquaculture production. Our innovative solution combines our knowledge of chemical and biological conditions with the three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic modelling of our MIKE by DHI software.

The selection of suitable sites for marine aquaculture is essential for economically viable production. Different environmental requirements, such as light, nutrients, oxygen and water column stratification, must be taken into account, during such site selections.

With our 3D MIKE model and extensive knowledge, we can help you identify the best areas for optimal aquaculture production throughout the year. We can also calculate and quantify potential disease dispersal, helping you identify more safe places for future aquacultures location. Moreover our site selection tools can aid you in selecting sites with high dilution capacities to ensure that medical products and copper do not exceed the maximum allowable concentration.
