Biosecurity and Vehicle Disinfection for Fisheries

Vehicles entering and leaving fisheries, hatcheries, and aquaculture sites can carry pathogens, parasites, and invasive organisms on their tyres and undercarriage.

Contaminated water, sediment, and biological material transferred between sites puts fish stocks and water quality at risk. Our systems help prevent that, automatically disinfecting vehicles and cleaning footwear at every entry point.

Why Fisheries need vehicle disinfection

Protecting your fish stocks starts at the site entrance.

Fisheries and aquaculture sites are particularly vulnerable to the introduction of disease through vehicles. Feed deliveries, maintenance vehicles, and visitor traffic can all carry pathogens and contaminants on their tyres and undercarriage.

Once introduced into the water, diseases like Infectious Haematopoietic Necrosis (IHN), Viral Haemorrhagic Septicaemia (VHS), and Koi Herpesvirus (KHV) can spread rapidly with devastating consequences for fish stocks. Automated vehicle disinfection at the site entrance is the most reliable way to manage this risk.

Aquatic disease prevention

Pathogens and parasites carried on vehicle tyres can be introduced into fishery water systems. Disinfecting every vehicle at the point of entry significantly reduces the risk of disease introduction and spread between sites.

Invasive species control

Vehicles moving between water bodies can transfer invasive non-native species and organisms. Automated cleaning and disinfection helps prevent the cross-contamination that threatens native fish populations and aquatic habitats.

Water quality protection

Mud, sediment, and chemical contaminants from vehicle traffic can affect water quality, deplete oxygen levels, and harm fish and other aquatic organisms. Cleaning vehicles before they enter the site protects the water environment.

Biosecurity best practice

Maintaining strong biosecurity measures demonstrates good practice to regulators, customers, and the wider industry. An automated system at your site entrance ensures consistent, reliable disinfection without relying on manual processes.
