Tasmanian salmon sector to use nano bubbles to save endangered skate

Tasmania’s salmon farming sector is taking part in a $7 million trial that will involve using novel nano bubble technology to try to ease the plight of an endangered species of skate.

Starting next month, a diesel-powered generator on board a barge will be used to draw up low-oxygen water, fill it with highly concentrated bubbles of oxygen, and pump it back into the harbour at 30 to 40 metres depth.
