Chilean aquaculture technology companies Kran and Poseidón have formalised a partnership to offer salmon producers an integrated environmental management model covering both water column oxygenation and seabed remediation.
The alliance is set to be presented publicly in March ahead of Aquasur 2026, according to a joint announcement.
Poseidón will contribute its Life Support System (LSS), designed to stabilise dissolved oxygen levels in production modules and reduce exposure to adverse environmental conditions. The system includes technologies such as Flowpressor®, Oxypressor® and Depth Charge Plume (DCP).
Kran brings more than seven years of experience in seabed recovery, with over 44 completed operations. In 2025, the company reported full recovery across all sites where it operated, including preventive interventions carried out during active production cycles. Its approach uses nanobubble technology to reduce organic matter accumulation and improve sediment conditions.
The companies said the services can be deployed independently, but that combined use may improve site stability and reduce overall operational costs.
Regulatory pressure driving demand
The partnership comes as Chile’s salmon sector faces tightening environmental requirements, with a growing focus on preventive measures rather than corrective action.
“The future of salmon farming lies in anticipating deterioration,” said Mauricio Bueno, aquaculture manager at Kran.
Carlos Antiman, chief executive of Poseidón, said the collaboration is aimed at improving fish welfare and supporting the industry’s environmental commitments.
The companies said the combined model could improve predictability in production cycles and reduce exposure to remediation costs, while enabling more coordinated monitoring.
Further operational data and case studies are expected to be presented at Aquasur 2026.
