Aquasur 2026: innovations and trends in the aquaculture industry
From March 24 to 26, 2026, Aqualabo will be present at booth A20 at Aquasur, which will bring together leading international stakeholders in aquaculture in Puerto Montt, Chile. This major Southern Hemisphere event will showcase technological innovations, sustainable production solutions and regulatory developments shaping the sector. In a context where water quality control has become a strategic factor for farm performance, Aquasur provides a dedicated platform for exchange and demonstration of technologies designed to monitor key parameters, particularly dissolved oxygen.
Aquasur 2026: an international meeting point
Aquasur is held every two years in the Los Lagos region in southern Chile. It is themajor international aquaculture exhibition. The 2026 edition will feature a high-level international congress, networking areas and an exhibition dedicated to technical and scientific solutions for the sector.
The event promotes innovation and sustainable development by connecting producers, equipment suppliers, researchers and decision-makers. Aquasur serves as a strategic platform for showcasing technologies that contribute to efficient and responsible aquaculture, addressing current environmental and economic challenges.
Chile, a major player in global aquaculture
Chile holds a central position in the global aquaculture industry. It ranks as the second-largest producer of salmon, accounting for approximately 33 percent of global production. This position is supported by strong export capacity, with major markets including the United States, Japan and Brazil.
Beyond production volumes, the Chilean aquaculture sector has structured itself around a strong commitment to sustainable development. Faced with stringent environmental and regulatory requirements, companies have integrated advanced technologies to improve production parameter monitoring, optimize yields and reduce ecosystem impact.
With more than one million tonnes harvested annually and exports exceeding several billion dollars, Chilean aquaculture supports thousands of companies and generates tens of thousands of direct and indirect jobs in key regions of the country.
Aqualabo will be present at Aquasur 2026
Aqualabo will participate in Aquasur 2026 to present its solutions dedicated to water quality monitoring in aquaculture. The teams will highlight their digital sensors and portable instruments designed to meet the specific demands of aquaculture environments.
OPTOD sensor
Aqualabo will showcase the OPTOD digital sensor dedicated to dissolved oxygen measurement in aquaculture. Based on luminescent optical technology compliant with ASTM and ISO standards, it is available in stainless steel or titanium to adapt to demanding environments.
NEON hand-held oximeter
The NEON OPTOD portable dissolved oxygen meter enables precise dissolved oxygen measurement using advanced optical luminescence technology. Robust and equipped with an integrated barometer, it ensures data logging and transfer via WiFi.
NEON OPEN multiparameter instrument
The NEON OPEN accepts all digital sensors from the Ponsel range and enables measurement of multiple parameters: dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, salinity, turbidity, total suspended solids, and temperature. It records up to 30,000 measurement points and transfers data via WiFi, with data stored directly in the sensor.
Aqualabo a partner supporting aquaculture professionals
In a context where water quality control directly determines farm performance and compliance with environmental requirements, Aqualabo supports aquaculture professionals with solutions adapted to field constraints. The accuracy of the sensors and the reliability of the portable instruments contribute to rigorous monitoring of essential parameters.
