Being a biologist with Master thesis on fish physiology, describing energy budget for turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) and developing optimal feed composition, in order to promote commercial farming of turbot. He has been involved in many aspects of aquaculture, both as production and construction manager of the largest eelfarm(Anguilla Anguilla) in Northern Europe in early 1980`and later as productmanager at EWOS a fish feed company which developed the first commercial dry feed for trout and salmon. During the years with close contact to fish farmers, he achieved a lot of practical experience within fishfarming, which also have been used in a position as consultant and teacher within the industry at high school level at Aquaculture center in Silkeborg. Henrik Mortensen, also designed the first recirculating salmon farm in Denmark, which still supplies fry and smolt for restocking the largest river system in Denmark. He have always believed that recirculation would become a more widespread technology, but it took many years of slow progress to get to a point where it could be recognized as a stable and reliable way of fish production. We have reached that point now, and as a deeply involved person in this technical field, first working for Hydrotech in Sweden, then founding CMAQUA Technologies, together with a competent engineer(Kurt Calrsen)—Together they developed a very essential part of recirculating fish farms, the HEX drumfilter, which secures particle control in the best and most economic way. The company have been very successful and are now standard component for many RAS builders CMAQUA Technologies is now merged with Ratz Polymer Technik in Germany, and have 5000 m2 new production facilities in Germany.

Pete grew up on the East coast of Australia, surfing from the early age of 8 years old. An ingrained respect for the ocean combined with a keen mind for problem solving, sustainability, design and engineering has proved invaluable in starting Seabin Project, a Australian start up developing innovative clean tech for ocean plastics and marine litter. Pete’s man crush on outdoor company Patagonia has been a large influence on Seabin Project’s 50/50 for profit – not for profit business model which has an equal focus on technology for clean up activities combined with prevention and educational programs to create real time, measurable solutions.
