1. PREFACE
VAKI Aquaculture Systems Ltd thanks you for choosing the Bioscanner. More and more
aquaculture enterprises are using equipment from VAKI in their day-to-day production and
management. An accurate knowledge of the number of fish, and the average weight and size
distribution in each pen is the basis for success in today’s tough competition.
The Bioscanner is a sophisticated electronic device specially designed for counting both small and
large fish on fish farms. Among the clear benefits of using the Bioscanner are:
Manpower saving
Increased efficiency
Accurate data on number of fish in each size category
Efficient feeding and accurate medical dosage
A safer basis for insurance assessment
The Bioscanner is very gentle and the fish is not touched by any mechanic parts when counted,
and the fish are in water at all time. Correct set up and use of the Bioscanner fish counter is
essential for accurate results. Please read this manual carefully.
This manual is a guide to assembling the V-Channels and the use of the Bioscanner control unit.
