RECIRCULATING AQUACULTURE SYSTEM (RAS)
Our recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) minimizes the need for make-up water. This process includes stages of solid removal through rigorous filtration, ammonia elimination, and precise oxygenation that maintains optimal conditions for fish health.
RAS not only reduces water consumption but also ensures a controlled and sustainable environment for the healthy, high-quality growth of our fish.
