Live Fish Transfers
Our sister company PDG Helicopters are the founders and innovators of live fish transfers by helicopter and together we have amassed over 25 years experience in fish transfers, having flown over 30,000 hours and moved over 250 million smolts.
With our extensive fleet of helicopters, and bases located throughout Ireland and Scotland, Irish Helicopters are ideally located to support the requirements of the fish farming industry.
We have a dedicated team who are skilled in advising on all aspects of helicopter transfers, from load densities, time and speed of transit to the cost per smolt and/or biomass, or lift rates.
Our helicopters have moved salmon eggs, fry, parr, smolts and broodstock as well as other species of farmed fish including trout, halibut, cod, and charr. Fish are transported in a variety of specially designed buckets, bins, and bags. Each bucket is carefully manufactured with its own oxygenation system and is thoroughly tested and proven before use. Irish Helicopters employs the highest standards of quality management throughout its operations, ensuring fish health in transit. In accordance with best practice, all equipment is subject to rigorous sterilisation procedures.
We offer a fast, friendly and cost effective service, with fixed price quotations and advice given free of charge.
