Blue Future Holding acquires majority stake in Lumic, launches integrated health technology with Greenfox Marine.
Blue Future Holding has acquired a 51 percent majority stake in Lumic as part of a strategic partnership to develop an integrated health station for juvenile fish in collaboration with Greenfox Marine.
The partnership will combine Lumic’s automated vaccination technology with Greenfox Marine’s ultrasound and camera-based systems to create a machine capable of simultaneously vaccinating fish while analysing health parameters, gender, and size.
Hans-Magne Strømme, CEO of Lumic, said the combined technology would provide fish farmers with a tool to improve survival rates and growth performance in the seawater phase. Erling Aspen, CEO of Greenfox Marine, added that the system would also enable individual health monitoring, including detection of welfare-related conditions such as heart function and spinal deformities.
Blue Future Holding, which already owns 97 percent of Greenfox Marine, said the investment aligns with its strategy to promote sustainable aquaculture and fish welfare. The first order for the integrated machine has been received, with delivery scheduled for the second half of 2025.
