Aquaculture Equipment Ltd - for water aeration, oxygenation, lake aerators & pumps. Specialist aeration equipment for fish farms, fishing ponds & lakes.
Aquaculture Equipment Limited was formed and managed by Ron Snedden, who worked in the aquaculture industry for over 25 years. As the company name implies, we specialise in the manufacture and supply of a wide range of equipment for fish farming, fisheries, fish keeping and all types of aquaculture.
Ron unfortunately passed away in 2007, however the company continues to grow and is managed by Mark Stockton and his family. Mark is qualified in fisheries management and has also been known to get the rods out when he gets the chance...
Although the company originally specialised in the production of fish feeding equipment, (of which it is still one of the UK's largest producers), it has diversified and manufactures and markets a wide range of equipment which includes some of the industry’s best water treatment equipment. We now offer a range of dissolved oxygen (DO) monitoring equipment, such as our new robust DO501 handheld dissolved oxygen meter, auto DO units (DO1020) which power up aerators only when needed, as well as DO units for fish transport vehicles. All the fish feeders and dissolved oxygen monitoring units are built in the UK. The new DO501 dissolved oxygen meter has the optional facility to operate as a static DO monitor at the side of the lake or tank, relaying DO readings wirelessly to a PC up to 4km away.
Zoos and Wildlife Parks - More recently, we have been providing ice prevention solutions to Chester Zoo and Whipsnade Zoo. Ice prevention on water bodies in zoos is particularly important, as it alows the animals outside access to their normal surroundings, without the associated risks involved of the animals venturing on to the ice. Also in summer there are the obvious benefits of better aeration, helping reduce problematic algae and improving water quality in general. For more information on ice prevention within animal enclosures please visit our new website -
The company holds agencies for a number of overseas equipment manufacturers and we are the sole UK Distributor for Acqua & Co and Innovaqua, Italy. Acqua & Co manufacture a very successful and competitive range of submerged motor aerators, circulators and de-stratifiers to improve oxygenation, aeration and water quality in general. Acqua & Co also produce depuration equipment (SKIM), for the cleansing of shellfish. With our select partners and suppliers, we can offer help in almost any area of fisheries or aquaculture management, from setting up a hatchery, installing a large depuration plant or the complete stocking and planting of a newly created lake.
When looking at aeration equipment, please be aware that some people may offer you not so cheap counterfeit machines. These machines will not be legally CE marked and could be potentially dangerous. Trading Standards are aware of the problem and will take action where necessary. We supply equipment to a small select team of aquaculture and fisheries professionals, both here in the UK and France - If in doubt about a product please contact us
Please get in touch if you would like to know more about any of our products or services.
