Earlier Transfers - Larger Smolt
The SuperSmolt^® group was transferred to sea 9 days earlier than the Controls and on average 10% larger, as the Controls had to go through an artificial winter photoperiod to help induce smoltification. The SuperSmolt^® process allows you to completely avoid putting fish through an artificial winter and the subsequent loss in growth and delay associated with artificial winters.

Expand Hatchery Capacity
By eliminating the artificial winter, fish can be transferred to the sea site earlier. While in this trial 9 days of hatchery production time was eliminated, the use of SuperSmolt^® allows the successful transfer of smolt as small as 15 grams, freeing up capacity to produce additional smolt.

Improve Growth - Earlier Harvests
When the SuperSmolt^® treated fish were harvested at an average of 5.1 kg, the Control fish weighed an average of 3.1 kg. A combination of earlier seawater transfer and accelerated seawater growth allowed the producer to harvest the SuperSmolt^® group 55 days earlier than the Controls. Equally important, the use of SuperSmolt^® allowed for a reduction in the marine growout time of 46 days - almost 10%.
