How do you know your fish is healthy & robust?

The slimy barriers of gills, skin and guts are the frontline guardians of health, welfare, growth and survival. By verifying the state of these frontline barriers the health status of the stock can be monitored and maintained, helping you to keep the fish healthy & robust.

We are QUANTIDOC - The Barrier Health Company.

We help the fish farming industry keep their stock healthy & robust

Maintaining the frontline barriers of the gills, skin and gut is critical to keeping fish healthy & robust. Keeping these barriers strong and responsive gives good welfare, growth and survival.

Over the past decade, we've developed VERIBARR™ to become the quantitative industry standard for verifying and maintaining the health and robustness of fish frontline barriers now covering 13 species worldwide.

10 reasons why keeping frontline barriers healthy and robust is crucial for profitable and sustainable fish farming

The Impact of Frontline Mucosal Health Monitoring across the aquaculture value chain

In aquaculture, the key to sustainable and profitable fish farming lies in the health of mucosal barriers - specifically, the skin, gills, and the gut. These barriers are the frontline of the fish's immune system, directly impacting fish welfare, growth, and resilience to diseases.

With over a decade of research and more than 15,000 data points across multiple species, our extensive database offers unparalleled accuracy in monitoring fish health, enabling proactive management from the earliest stages of production to harvest. Whether you're managing smolt, RAS systems, or open-sea operations, VeriBarr™ gives you the objective data you need to make informed, strategic decisions.

With VeriBarr™ you get insights into the health of your fish up to 4-6 weeks before traditional methods can detect any signs of disease.

Here’s how our services add value to various stakeholders:

Why is it critical to protect the frontline barriers?

The frontline barriers of gills, skin and guts are the fish's primary defence against disease and environmental stress. Keeping these barriers strong and responsive is crucial to fish welfare, growth and survival. Without strong barriers, the fish will lack the health and robustness needed for modern and efficient fish farming.

The frontline barriers protect in following three ways:

A physical lubricated barrier - even just a few hundred millimetres is sufficient.

​A magazine for dozens of antimicrobial components that ward off viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites.

A natural substrate for the good microflora that the fish need to survive

There is a clear correlation between robust frontline barriers, strong growth, and increased survival.

The importance of healthy and robust frontline barriers for the survival, growth, and welfare of fish is widely recognized in the literature. Over the past decade, QUANTIDOC has conducted over 100 projects globally, demonstrating a clear correlation between robust frontline barriers, strong growth, and increased survival. VERIBARR™ was developed from these projects as the first tool to monitor and maintain frontline barrier health for the growth and welfare of fish

Strong Barriers = Healthy Fish = Better Production

This is how we help the fish farming industry keep their fish healthy & robust

Fish with robust frontline barriers are more likely to have strong growth, increased survival rates, and better overall health, resulting in higher profits for fish farmers.

The Robust Fish

A self-renewing cell layer of less than 0.07mm keeps the fish fresh, repels hostile but natural components of the water and ensures good health. It’s almost invisible, it’s glistening, it’s smooth and complex. We have written this little book to respect this brave, ultra-thin barrier and its tireless struggle to keep the fish healthy and robust.
