Mussels have been solving underwater engineering challenges for millions of years.
In 2025, scientists at Hokkaido University proved it. Using AI and machine learning, they developed the strongest underwater adhesive ever created, inspired by the proteins that allow mussels and barnacles to cling to wet surfaces in the ocean.
The result? A hydrogel so powerful it kept a rubber duck stuck to a seaside rock through tides and waves. The same technology could one day be used in surgery, marine infrastructure, and underwater repairs.
At Smart Farm, we've always believed that the ocean holds the answers. Mussels are not just a food source, they filter our waters, inspire cutting-edge science, and continue to surprise us.

Mussels are one of the most efficient natural filters on the planet, and at Smart Farm, we build technology that lets nature do that at scale.
It starts with the SmartUnit, installed once. The net design creates a vertical habitat across the water column, giving mussels the maximum surface area to settle and grow. From that point, nature takes over.
A single mussel filters water continuously — grazing on phytoplankton and consuming everything from microscopic organisms to sea lice larvae, harmful algae, and excess nitrogen and phosphorus.
When harvest time comes, the Mermaid Reaper or Neptune Reaper does the work — harvesting 30+ tonnes per hour, thinning the population and removing predators in the process.
And then? The net stays in place, clean and ready. Mussels begin settling again. The same system, a new cycle, continuous filtration.

Just the ocean doing what it does best - powered by Smart Farm technology.

Barcelona, Seafood Expo Global 2026. Three days at the heart of the global aquaculture industry. From conversations at our stand to connecting with familiar faces and new ones from across the world, this is exactly where we want to be. Thank you to everyone who stopped by. 🌊

24/04/2026

SEG2026 has come to an end — and what a few days it has been. It was great to reconnect with our clients and meet new faces from across the global aquaculture industry. Conversations like these remind us why we do what we do. Thank you to everyone who stopped by stand 3GG802 — we look forward to what comes next!

14/04/2026

Barcelona is one week away!
Meet us at stand 3GG802; let's shape the future of sustainable aquaculture together!

Harmful algal blooms are one of the most underestimated threats to aquaculture. In 2016 alone, a single toxic algal event off the coast of Chile killed nearly 23 million salmon, roughly 15% of the country's entire production, causing $800 million in losses. The mechanism is brutal: rapidly multiplying algae starve the water of oxygen, produce neurotoxins, and clog fish gills with mucus. Climate change, agricultural runoff, and warming ocean temperatures are making these events more frequent and more severe.
Smart Farm's mussel systems offer a measurable biological response. Blue mussels filter phytoplankton continuously from the water column, and research has shown that intensive mussel cultivation can remove up to 80% of phytoplankton from surrounding waters, with effects visible across kilometers around the installation, a significant, passive, chemical-free reduction in algal biomass before it reaches fish.
The science behind this is well established. A 2021 study published in the Journal of Applied Phycology demonstrated that Mytilus edulis filtration significantly reduces phytoplankton concentrations in surrounding waters. Research from ScienceDirect confirms that blue mussel populations actively control the abundance of pelagic primary producers, including harmful algal species, in shallow coastal environments.

Happy Easter from all of us at Smart Farm! 🐣 Wishing you a wonderful weekend filled with good food, good company, and spring sunshine!

It's April 1st, which means we can finally announce this.
After extensive research and a great deal of passion, we're proud to introduce our new net design, heart-shaped, because our love for aquaculture, clean oceans, and natural filtration had to show up somewhere.
Mussels already do so much for the ocean. They filter the water, remove excess nutrients, and support healthier marine ecosystems. We figured the least we could do was give them a net that reflects how we feel about all of that.

Mussels didn't wait for us to discover them. They were here long before we were.
Bivalves — the group mussels belong to — have existed for over 500 million years. They survived mass extinctions, ice ages, and the rise and fall of every civilization that ever built a ship. They did it the same way they do everything: by filtering water, holding on, and asking nothing from the world around them.
Humans have been eating mussels for over 20,000 years. Shell heaps found at prehistoric coastal sites across Europe, North America, and Asia tell the story of entire communities sustained by what the shoreline offered. Long before agriculture, before livestock, before supply chains — there were mussels.
In the 13th century, a shipwrecked Irishman named Patrick Walton washed up on the coast of France. He hammered wooden poles into the mud flats to catch seabirds — and found mussels colonising the poles instead. The technique spread. Eight centuries later, it's still the foundation of European mussel farming.
We didn't invent mussel farming either. But over 30 years of operation, we've built a system that covers everything — from growing and maintenance to harvest — engineered to get the most out of every metre of water column.
SmartUnit's net design maximises surface area, giving mussels more space to settle and grow. More surface means more filtration, more biomass, and more sea lice larvae consumed before they ever reach a fish.
And when harvest comes — no crews of 8-10 hauling lines by hand. One operator running the Mermaid Reaper. The heavy lifting that defined mussel farming for eight centuries, gone.
The oldest food source in human history. Running at full capacity.

SmartUnit deployment off the coast of Ireland. Every system placed here will stay in the water column for years, growing, filtering, and producing. This is mussel farming at scale.

Yesterday we attended Tabbekonferansen 2026 in Stavanger, a conference dedicated to celebrating the mistakes that shape better decisions.
Hosted by Truls Svendsen, the event brought together business leaders, athletes and public figures who took the stage to share their biggest failures, and what they learned from them.
The kind of honesty you don't often see in a conference room.
Great fun and plenty to think about, highly recommend!
