AQUI-S® is an aquatic anaesthetic that has been developed to give flexibility and control in animal husbandry, transporting and harvesting operations. The ingredients are approved for use in foods and AQUI-S® is safe for use in food and aquarium fish. Fish that are harvested usingAQUI-S® have improved flesh quality, yield and shelf life. The use of AQUI-S® during the transportation of live fish and during health management practices lowers stress and reduces mortalities.

King Crab R&D: King Crabs (Gluptolithodes sp.) are crab-like decapod crustaceans primarily found in the cold seas of the Northern and Southern hemispheres. They are a valuable commodity that commands high prices when exported live. Live export to markets in excess of 20 hrs away presents problems for survival. AQUI-S®, the only zero with holding aquatic anaesthetic, was trialed to determine whether sedation pre-transport could improve survival and extend transport durations. It was determined that AQUI-S® at a concentrations between 100 and 200 mg.L improved survival and extended the safe transport duration to in excess of 32 hrs. This is therefore a useful tool for king crab exporters.
