Over the past 52 years, GroAqua has been a key contributor to fish farming growth in the North Atlantic region. The company is well established internationally with operations in Scotland, the Faroe Islands, Denmark, and Poland. GroAqua specialises in facilitating sustainable fish growth by remotely monitoring and controlling the feeding and breeding process – both in seawater and freshwater.
