A Better Start Begins Here
In-stream incubation hasn't changed much in decades, but the challenges facing wild fish populations have. From harsher climates and degraded habitats to outdated equipment and labor intensive systems, biologists and restoration teams are often stuck using the same tools they’ve used for 30+ years.
The RIW system was born from the idea that we can do better.
Designed in partnership between hands on fabricators and fisheries biologists, the RIW is a new-generation incubation system that blends modern fabrication, thoughtful hydrodynamics, and real-world durability.
There are no moving parts. No maintenance. No tending. Just rugged, low-profile performance that works in the harshest conditions . From snow-fed headwaters to remote restoration sites.
Why it matters:
- It's Packable
- Predator Resistant
- Fry Escape at Will
- Built to Clear Sediment and Oxygenate Water Flow.
- And scalable, with modular field packs to support entire projects.
The RIW isn’t just a product it’s a tool for change. A way to put data, fieldwork, and fabrication into a single, self powered system that gives fish the start they need and gives biologists and agencies a reliable option they’ve long gone without.
Innovation should serve the wild, not just the lab.
That’s why we built the RIW — and why we won’t stop here.
