The video explains about the characteristics and advantages of RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture System) technology as a sustainable alternative for inland fish and seafood production.
Recirculating aquaculture systems technology offers several significant advantages over other existing aquaculture methods. Growing fish in a land-based, closed, and controlled environment reduces the risk of disease contamination. No antibiotics or disease treatments are involved in a normal production process, so the fish produced are healthier. Water motion in the rearing tanks allows the growers to exercise the fish, which in some fish species results in a more natural fat and tissue composition.
Since RAS technology is not entirely dependent on proximity to a specific water source, the facility can be built close to market, resulting in a shorter time from water to plate, and reduced transportation costs. Another advantage of recirculating aquaculture systems is that its advanced filtering capabilities significantly reduce water pollution from feed, feces, and chemical waste, making it a much more sustainable alternative to other aquaculture methods.
In terms of efficiency and productivity, RAS enable continuous harvest year-round, and fish grow to commercial size faster when compared with other aquaculture methods. Faster growth usually means better conversion of feed to fish mass, and overall lower impact on the entire production chain and production costs, thanks to complete control of water temperature and the ability of recirculating aquaculture systems to maintain optimum oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.
AquaMaof recirculating aquaculture systems offer many leading-edge advantages, including:
100 Percent Recirculated Water — 100 percent of the recirculating water from the fish tanks is processed through the main filtering system complex.
Proprietary technology and Oxygen-Dissolving System — Delivering more oxygen for less energy, with oxygen generated on site; recovering waste heat; and regulating the oxygen level in each tank. Capable of delivering large quantities of dissolved oxygen during peak demand.
Low Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) — Achieved through optimized feeding modes, an advanced feed management system, and optimal recirculating water conditions.
Fish channel for fish transfer through water — An economical, simple, and safe way to move large numbers of fish through the recirculating aquaculture system production chain, from stocking to grading to market.
Minimal maintenance — Smart selection and allocation of system components result in a robust recirculating aquaculture system facility.
Minimal Liquid Discharge (MLD) — Achieved through the implementation of proprietary water-reuse technologies.
