Aquaculture Equipment Limited was formed and managed by Ron Snedden, who worked in the aquaculture industry for over 25 years. As the company name implies, we specialise in the manufacture and supply of a wide range of equipment for fish farming, fisheries, fish keeping and all types of aquaculture.

Ron unfortunately passed away in July 2007, however the company continues to grow and is managed by Mark Stockton and his family. Mark is qualified in fisheries management and has also been known to cast a line when time permits!

Although the company originally specialised in the production of fish feeding equipment, (of which it is still one of the UK's largest producers), it has diversified and manufactures and markets a wide range of equipment which includes some of the industry’s best water treatment equipment. We now offer a range of dissolved oxygen (DO) monitoring equipment, such as our new robust DO501 handheld dissolved oxygen meter, auto DO units (DO1020) which power up aerators only when needed, as well as DO units for fish transport vehicles. All the fish feeders and dissolved oxygen monitoring units are built in the UK.

The new DO501 dissolved oxygen meter has the optional facility to operate as a static DO monitor at the side of the lake or tank, relaying DO readings wirelessly to a PC up to 4km away. 

We also offer a new range of small boats, the Aqua Neptune series and the Aqua Sturdy series. Six new boats are available in all, ranging from 2.1m up to 4.05m. All the boats are rotationally moulded in HDPE, and like our new 2.8m diameter fish rearing tanks, have no weak seams or joints. All boats come complete with built in wheels, oars, rowlocks and seat(s).

The company holds agencies for a number of overseas equipment manufacturers and we are the sole UK Distributor for Acqua & Co and Innovaqua, Italy.  Acqua & Co manufacture a very successful and competitive range of submerged motor aerators, circulators and de-stratifiers to improve oxygenation, aeration and water quality in general.  Acqua & Co also produce depuration equipment (SKIM), for the cleansing of shellfish.  With our select partners and suppliers, we can offer help in almost any area of fisheries or aquaculture management, from setting up a hatchery, installing a large depuration plant or the complete stocking of a newly created lake.

New for 2012! 

Force 7 Heat Wave - This is our new low voltage air pre-heater system. It simply fits to the suction support tube on the Force 7 venturi aerator, the unit warming the air before it is injected below the water surface. This is useful in the colder months to help prevent ice formation. It can also be used in rearing tanks as part of recirculation systems to raise water temperature.

110v Splash - Our 0.5hp Splash aerator is now available in 110v, and like all our aerators can be supplied as a package with a Honda powered generator. 

All of our aeration equipment is made in Italy by Acqua & Co

Please be aware of fake, counterfeit machines 

It has come to our attention that a company in the UK have been selling fake aerators and passing them off as genuine Acqua & Co products. This is illegal and the machines are not CE marked, so potentially dangerous.

The machines in question are the EOLO² and Splash 2001. If you think you may have purchased one of these machines you can contact Aquaculture Equipment Ltd and we will verify if it is a genuine machine or not. If your purchase was through ourselves then there will not be a problem.
