MariSource Vertical Incubators

MariSource vertical incubators hold 12,000 salmon eggs per tray, in 4-tray, 8-tray or stacked 16-tray welded aluminium cabinets. Water upwells through each egg tray and cascades to the tray below, so one supply feeds the whole stack. Delivered fully assembled with the screen mesh your species needs.

Product Information

Key Features

  • Vertical upwelling flow — water enters the rear of the top water tray, upwells through the egg tray and cascades into the tray below
  • One-piece welded aluminium cabinet with moulded plastic internals — will not rust or chemically attack eggs, and every component floats
  • Each water tray slides forward on level tracks, so eggs can be worked and returned without lifting the tray out of the cabinet
  • Individual egg trays lift out for picking and monitoring without disturbing the rest of the stack
  • Supplied as a 4-tray unit, an 8-tray cabinet, or two 8-tray cabinets stacked to 16 trays on the same floor area
  • Delivered fully assembled with the screen mesh specified for your species — eggshells pass through while alevin and fry are retained
  • Spare parts available through Fresh By Design
  • Sizing: an 8-tray cabinet holds 96,000 salmon eggs — 12,000 eggs per tray — so divide your egg take by 12,000 and round up to the next tray, then the next cabinet

Frequently Asked Questions

How many eggs does one incubator hold?
An 8-tray cabinet holds 96,000 salmon eggs, which works out at 12,000 eggs per tray.
How do I work out how many trays I need?
Divide your egg take by 12,000 eggs per tray, then round up to the next whole tray and the next whole cabinet.
How much water does a stack need?
A flow figure is not published for these cabinets because demand varies with species, egg loading and water temperature, so ask Fresh By Design to confirm the flow for your hatchery before you size the supply.
Can the cabinets be stacked?
Yes, two 8-tray cabinets stack to 16 trays on the same floor area, and a second water source can be introduced to the lower cabinet so oxygen stays up.
Can eggs be worked without pulling the tray out of the cabinet?
Yes, each water tray slides forward on level tracks so eggs can be worked and returned in place, and individual egg trays lift out for monitoring without disturbing the rest of the stack.
What screen mesh is fitted?
Units ship with the screen your hatchery specifies for the species, sized so eggshells pass through while alevin and fry are retained.
Are spare parts available?
Yes, spare parts for MariSource vertical incubators are available through Fresh By Design.
