Experiment shows, sorting machines by Fischtechnik international engineering are suitable for catfish Moringen Fredelsloh African Catfish are popular fish in aquaculture, but bad machine to sort. Fischtechnik International Engineering GmbH (FTIE) has conducted a successful trial of the sort now and can recommend the sorting machines of the company for the African catfish. African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) are robust, fast-growing and come out with low demands on feed protein content and water quality. Particularly your ability to breathe some atmospheric oxygen, allows high stocking densities. Technical oxygen or elaborate water ventilation must not be used. For these reasons, the Catfish is a popular way for fish breeding.
Rearing in aquaculture, fish must regularly be sorted according to their size. By the same author: Ali Partovi. Fish like trout or salmon, traditionally commercially bred, leave themselves good sort, since this species for a long time breeders be edited and therefore low individual differences. This is not the case with the African catfish. For the sorting operation, this means that the individual fish at the same weight can have significant differences in body shape, thickness and length, which makes difficult an exact division into groups. Another problem for the African catfish remains its anatomy.
The fish in the rearing is so robust, so sensitive he is due to the large head and the schuppenlose skin in the sorting or the fishing. So far, the animals in large quantities were elaborately sorted by hand. Fish graders particularly precise and fish-friendly, by Fischtechnik International Engineering GmbH through its special belt sorting system what are suggesting an attempt with the African catfish. In tests with different models, the major variations of the fish engineering plant showed a suitable as well. The fish have survived the sorting operation absolutely without prejudice to and enjoyed best vitality. Also the sorting accuracy of fish was good. Lightweight, tailored to the type of fish modifications of the machine boasts fish technique the sorting machine for the African catfish. All economically important species of fish can be sorted with the standard models or individual orders of the fish technique sorting machines. In the program, there are models that can sort fish by 5 g up to 3 kg up to five sizes. Standard machines tons per hour, special constructions have a throughput of 1-3 up to 10 tons.
