Aquaculture Underwater Vehicles & Cameras
Underwater ROVs and submersible cameras for inspections and site monitoring
What Is Aquaculture?
Aquaculture is also known as fish farming. Fish farmers breed, raise and harvest fish, mollusks, crustaceans, inverts, algae, aquatic plants and other organisms in controlled environments for human consumption.
The desire for healthy, sustainable animal proteins such as marine creatures has driven a steady incline in demand for seafood for many years. Aquaculture is a more sustainable alternative to wild-capture fishing, which has nearly depleted our oceans. The aquaculture industry is even more environmentally friendly than farming land creatures such as cows and chickens. When done correctly, aquaculture requires less water and food and produces significantly lower carbon dioxide emissions levels.
The popularity of aquaculture has been growing rapidly worldwide for the last 50 years. By 2030, the Global Aquaculture Alliance predicts more than half of all seafood for human consumption will be produced on fish farms. This "blue revolution" has presented new challenges and opportunities for innovations to improve the ways we farm fish.
Every fish farm needs an ROV
Take control of your net inspections and ensure effective cleaning and monitoring for wear and tear that could cause fish escapes. Make pen and net inspections part of your routine, and monitor stock health and feeding using a mini remotely operated vehicle (ROV).
Net and mooring inspection
Perform regular and efficient net inspections. Ensure mooring lines and anchor points are secured to guarantee structural integrity. This is necessary when setting up initial pen installations and to adhere to regulatory agency guidelines.
Mort removal
Fish mortalities gather at the bottom of the pen and often do not make it to the collection system. Using the ROV equipped with the mort removal tool, push mortalities into the mort pumping system or bring them to the surface.
Feeding assessment & fish husbandry
Save money and time with live feedback from the Deep Trekker networked solution of underwater camera systems. Monitor the feeding process, stock health and observe fish behavior.

Aquaculture Packages
Tools Made for Aquaculture
Aquaculture is a unique industry with specialized tasks. Maximize your return on investment with tools developed for aquaculture-specific needs, including:
- A built-in ultrahigh definition camera. Deep Trekker ROVs come equipped with high-quality cameras perfect for net and structural inspections, health monitoring, feed management and other visual tasks that would otherwise require a diver to look below the surface.
- Accurate onboard sensors. Monitor and evaluate the environmental profiles of your fish farm with Deep Trekker's built-in sensors for temperature, oxygen and depth.
- A convenient arm tool. Retrieve things dropped in the water with minimal disruption using the arm tool on the front of the ROV.
- Add-on sampling tools. Tools for sampling water and sediment are available as inexpensive add-ons to your ROV. Take samples quickly and easily to meet government mandates and monitor your environments.
- A mort pusher tool. Use the add-on mort pusher tool to bring morts to the uplift system instead of hiring divers to do the work.
