Description

Construction of a transport unit - in a 40-foot refrigerated container - that will allow housing / keeping fish / marine invertebrates on a long-term basis. Given the characteristics of this unit, its name has been changed to “mobile station”, as it will allow (literally) the Flying Sharks operations center to be moved to any part of the world by sea and / or road. The technical specifications of the tanks and filtration equipment, will make this unit the most modern in the world, being able to be replicated and sold to public aquariums and / or aquacultures. This equipment includes, among many other details, remote monitoring of animals and physical-chemical parameters of water quality.
Development and testing of the “mobile station”, in collaboration with the Iceland Marine Research Institute, given its experience in the long-distance transport of cold water specimens. The construction of the tanks will be the responsibility of the partner DKM.
