Healthy, strong seafood means fewer losses and better results when shipping live product.

Proper aeration helps maintain the water conditions needed to keep lobster, crab, and other live seafood healthy and strong enough to make it to your customers.

Here's a look at aeration in action

Next stop: Newfoundland. 📦

Our booth and demos are packed up and ready to make the trip to St. John’s for the Cold Harvest Conference, September 15–17 at the JAG Hotel (find us in booth #1!)

Right now: two large wooden boxes in a parking lot.

Next week: significantly more impressive.

A big thank you to the people behind the scenes who help turn the plans into packed crates and get everything where it needs to go.

Here we come!

Philip took the stage at RAStech Europe in Portugal this week to present Beyond Oxygen; sharing results from commercial trials of the GasXchanger™ and what controlled gas management can mean for fish health and growth.

We sent him to Portugal with a presentation and several decades' worth of opinions about water quality.

As you can see, he found an audience.

Thanks to RAStech Europe for having us and to everyone who joined the conversation.

Meet Tara.

Don’t let the feet up fool you. Tara is usually one of the first people at APS to get her hands dirty.

She looks after our shipping department, fleet maintenance and safety — which is a pretty broad way of saying that if something needs to get somewhere, get fixed, get organized, or just generally get figured out, there’s a very good chance Tara is involved.

And she is exceptionally good at figuring things out.

Tara is reliable in the way that makes everyone around her breathe a little easier. She has common sense in spades, jumps in wherever she’s needed, and can be trusted to take something from “we have a problem” to “it’s handled” without a lot of fuss.

But just as importantly, she’s an absolute treat to work with. She’s hilarious, easygoing, genuinely kind, and makes even the annoying parts of a workday considerably more entertaining.

Competence is great. Competence with a sense of humour is even better.

We’re very lucky to have both in Tara.

We could explain the GasXchanger™. Or we could bring one.

The APS team put our trade show demo through a dry run before we head to the Cold Harvest & Aquaculture Canada Conference, September 15–17 in St. John’s, NL.

Come see us at Booth #1 to talk aquaculture, water treatment and system design—and see the GasXchanger™ in action. When it comes to water treatment, we’d much rather show you what the technology can do than make you stand there politely while we point at a brochure.

Stop by for a GasXchanger™ demo. Stay because Philip has started engineering a solution to a problem you casually mentioned five minutes ago.

✈️ Next stop: Portugal.

APS is crossing the Atlantic for RAStech Europe 2026!

We’ll be at Booth #302 talking aquaculture, RAS, water quality, system design and, inevitably, lobsters.

Before there was Aqua Production Systems, there was P&J Firewood , the first business Philip started with his brother, Joel, when they were kids.

A few decades later, Philip is still doing much of the same thing: building a business, solving problems and getting hands-on when the job calls for it.

Although there has been one fairly significant change in strategy:

P&J Firewood: make things hot.
Aqua Production Systems: please, for the love of lobster, keep things cold.

Turns out the firewood business didn’t last, but the entrepreneurial streak certainly did.

Beautiful waterfront location. Philip, naturally, would like to talk about the plumbing.

Intake design might not be the first thing people picture when they think about a live seafood holding system, but getting the source water right is where the whole process begins.

And when Philip starts pointing out the details, you quickly realize there’s a lot more happening between “there’s the ocean” and “there’s water in the tanks.”

Fortunately for us, he’s always happy to explain it.

Sensors and monitoring points help operators know what’s happening inside the system, before the livestock starts providing feedback.

Because by the time the lobsters are filing a complaint, you’ve probably missed a few earlier clues.

Good monitoring gives operators the information they need to spot changes, troubleshoot issues and make adjustments before a small problem starts applying for a promotion.

It’s not the flashiest part of a system, but that’s okay.

Around here, boring data and happy livestock make for a pretty good day.
