New Innovator: Konree
Galway-based start-up Konree’s solution to tackle infection before parasites reach fish could save industry millions
Konree is led by marine scientist Margaret Rae and mechanical engineer Michael Flynn, who previously cofounded the subsea imaging and measuring company. Currently working alongside the founders are two R&D biologists with the team set to grow to eight by the end of 2025. “Konree is targeting the salmon aquaculture industry first as it’s a wickedly difficult problem for producers that causes a lot of pain from a fish health and welfare perspective while also contributing to a negative public perception of the industry.”
“Konree’s vision is to have happier, healthier, heavier fish and, for us, that means keeping the fish in the water, unstressed by lice, and happily feeding.” “The most sustainable way to farm salmon is still in open-net salmon pens at sea so we expect these producers to be early adopters as they face difficulties in controlling lice numbers and high salmon mortality due to repeated harsh treatments,” says Dr Rae.
