9th Jun 2022 7:01 am EQS OTAQ announces new agreement with Canadian aquaculture innovator for water quality ‘Sensor Globe’
OTAQ, the marine technology products and solutions group for the global aquaculture, offshore energy and the sport and leisure industries, is pleased to announce a new multi-year distribution agreement with Sensor Globe, the Canadian aquaculture technology innovator. This follows completion of a successful development period leading to OTAQ’s first Sensor Globe customer in Chile.
OTAQ will distribute Sensor Globe’s data collection solution, used to monitor water quality and fish welfare, primarily targeting both the Scottish and Chilean markets, two of the world’s largest producers of farmed salmon.
The Sensor Globe data collection unit is a powerful multi-functional sensor. The globe sensor is designed to ’flow with the fish’ through pumps, pipes, treatments and machinery, measuring the water quality and the physical impact on fish, both of which are essential to fish welfare. The globe allows users to monitor real time data remotely via an intuitive user interface. Data, such as dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, acceleration, conductivity and shock, can be seen in real time. Alternatively, the globe sensor can simply be left anywhere for months at a time, and its data can then be retrieved for analysis.
Phil Newby, Chief Executive at OTAQ, commented: “The Sensor Globe adds a complementary product to our aquaculture portfolio which builds on the range of solutions already available to our clients. Having secured our first customer for the Sensor Globe in Chile, we are now looking forward to representing the Sensor Globe in our core markets and progressing the market opportunity.”
“We see huge potential in the suite of complementary aquaculture solutions given the positive impacts they can have on fish stock welfare and production volumes.”
Sheamus MacDonald, Chief Executive and Co-founder of Sensor Globe, added: “We are excited to be working with the team at OTAQ. Partnered alongside their technology in Chile and the United Kingdom will allow for us to collectively further enhance fish welfare during all stages of fish production.”

The Sensor Globe looks to be a very exciting and complementary addition to OTAQ's growing range. (Sensor Globe appears to be part of Sedana Technologies):-
"Severinsen re-emerges with a "disruptive" water sensor for aquaculture
by The Fish Site
24 March 2021, at 5:29pm
A new water sensor that has been designed to measure a range of water quality and fish welfare parameters in aquaculture installations has been launched by a Canadian seafood tech company, Sedna Technologies.
The wireless Sensor Globe is a powerful multi-functional sensor concept, which can be equipped with various high-end micro-sensors and used to monitor real time data through an app on a smartphone, tablet or via the internet.
It has adjustable internal ballast so that it can either float like a small iceberg, sink or have neutral buoyancy. It measures only 95mm diameter, weighs 325 grams and is designed to “flow-with-the-fish” through pipes, hoses, fish pumps, lice treatment and other machinery. Measuring both water quality and physical impact on the fish (acceleration and shock), which both are crucial for fish welfare.
We are now launching the first version which is available with micro-sensors such as optical oxygen, temperature, pH, acceleration and shock. Later this year nitrate, ammonia and salinity micro-sensors will follow, and we will keep adding many new sensors and features going forward to stay leading edge,” said Sedna’s co-founders, Sheamus MacDonald and Aleksandr Stabenow, in a press release.
The duo originally designed the sensor to ensure the safe transport of live lobsters, but have now partnered up with ex-Akva group executive Trond Severinsen to help them diversify into aquaculture.
Severinsen, who left Akva in 2019, after 25 years, is now Sedna’s Norwegian partner. Together they have just set up Sedna Technologies Norway AS in Stavanger. This will be the hub for commercialising the product throughout Europe, Asia and Africa.
“I am very excited to work with such young and talented entrepreneurs in Canada, to offer my lifelong experience in the aquaculture technology industry and together grow the company, work on R&D, and set up a global sales and service network,” said Severinsen."
