How a family-run aquaculture technology specialist is helping German fish farmers strengthen hygiene and meet the challenges of a changing climate.
Behind Halamid® is an international network of specialists who understand the realities of local markets. In this distributor spotlight, we meet LINN Gerätebau, Halamid®’s exclusive distributor in Germany and a long-established name in fish-farming technology.
For decades, LINN has combined practical fish-farming experience with equipment development. Today, the company brings that same hands-on approach to the supply and support of Halamid® for German aquaculture professionals.
From a Family Trout Farm to an International Aquaculture Specialist
LINN’s roots are firmly anchored in aquaculture. The Linn family has operated its own trout farm since 1929, and the challenges encountered there inspired the creation of practical equipment for everyday fish-farming operations. LINN Gerätebau was founded in 1973 and has since grown into a recognised European manufacturer of aeration, oxygenation, pumping, transport, feeding and monitoring solutions.
- Family aquaculture experience since 1929
- Company founded in 1973
- More than 1,100 products in its portfolio
- Equipment operating in over 75 countries
Because LINN works closely with fish farmers throughout Germany, the company has a detailed understanding of their hygiene priorities, operational constraints and expectations. Adding Halamid® to its portfolio was therefore a natural step.
Why LINN Chose Halamid®
For LINN, an effective aquaculture disinfectant must be reliable, versatile and straightforward to use. Halamid® meets those requirements with a broad spectrum of activity and applications suited to professional fish-farming environments.
- Broad-spectrum efficacy against a wide range of bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites
- Versatile application for water, tanks, ponds, nets and equipment, subject to local approvals and application guidance
- High water solubility for simple preparation and use
- Material compatibility when correctly diluted and applied
- Established use in aquaculture across fresh, brackish and saltwater environments
“We value Halamid® for its broad spectrum of activity, its versatility and its ease of use. It offers fish farmers a practical hygiene solution while remaining gentle on commonly used materials when applied correctly.” — LINN Gerätebau
Supporting Fish Farms in a Changing Climate
German fish farms are already experiencing the effects of climate change. Water availability can decrease during dry periods, while higher temperatures and variable water quality place additional pressure on production systems. These conditions can increase the risk of health challenges caused by bacteria, parasites and other pathogens.
Consistent hygiene and biosecurity are therefore increasingly important. Used in accordance with the relevant label, local approvals and technical guidance, Halamid® can support preventive hygiene programmes and targeted disinfection across aquaculture operations.
Preparing for More Water-Efficient Aquaculture
As climate pressures continue, farms will need to use available water more efficiently. Partial water recirculation is already becoming an important consideration for trout farms, particularly during warmer months. This development makes carefully designed hygiene protocols, monitoring and equipment management even more essential.
Meet LINN at Aquaculture Europe 2026
LINN Gerätebau will be present at Aquaculture Europe 2026, taking place in Ljubljana, Slovenia, from 28 September to 1 October 2026. Under the theme “Aquaculture in Global Change”, the event will bring together researchers, producers, suppliers and industry specialists to discuss the future of the sector.
