“It is very pleasing for us that Marine Harvest Scotland will continue with us with new technology, and once again choose Hydrolicer. 

“The delivery consists of four Hydrolicer version-6 lines, the new PG Hydroflow fish pump (developed for large fish, in cooperation with PG Flow Solution), and the proprietary drum filter
