The SuperSmolt® process has undergone extensive commercial-scale testing in field trials conducted by independent parties. MariCal has worked with recognized producers, as well as respected, industry-sponsored research centers, subjecting the SuperSmolt® process to the most rigorous scrutiny using standard matched-control techniques. Field trials have been conducted in the East and West coasts of North America, Chile, Norway, Iceland, and the UK. The SuperSmolt® process is being used commercially throughout the world to produce millions of superior smolt.

The use of the SuperSmolt^® process has consistently validated the advantages of this unique technology:

• Produce salmon smolts when it suits you
• Transfer 100% true smolts as small as 15 grams with virtually no transfer mortalities and no osmotic damage
• Minimize the effect of size variation for successful smoltification
• Extend smolt window when sea-sites not ready
• Improve feeding efficiency, growth, and yield
• Enjoy earlier harvests
• Multiply hatchery capacity
• Reduce costs; increase profits
• No anatomical abnormalities, no early maturation
• Excellent fillet taste, texture and color

		Evidence that the SuperSmolt® process fully 'pre-adapts' Atlantic salmon smolt to seawater while the smolt remain in freshwater
		The SuperSmolt® process in freshwater:
	1. Alters the expression of calcium receptors (CaSRs) like that produced by seawater exposure. 2. Alters the distribution of gill chloride cells like that produced by seawater exposure. 3. Doubles gill Na+ K+ATPase activity similar to that produced by seawater exposure. 4. Results in minimal increases in blood Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ after seawater transfer even in fish that are as small as 15 gm. 5. Produces a 50% increase in pyloric caecae Na+ K+ATPase activity similar to that produced by seawater exposure. 6. Does not reduce the freshwater growth or increase the FCR during the SuperSmolt® process.
