Revolutionizing Fish Farming: The Rise of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS)

 


RAS, which stands for Recirculating Aquaculture Systems, is an innovative and sustainable method of fish farming that has gained significant popularity in the aquaculture industry to meet the protein requirement for the global population. RAS offers numerous advantages over traditional open-net pen systems, making it an attractive option for fish production.

RAS operates as a closed-loop system, where water is continuously recycled and reused within the aquaculture facility. It significantly reduces water consumption compared to traditional systems and minimizes the environmental impact by preventing effluent discharge into natural water bodies. It incorporates advanced water filtration and treatment technologies. RAS provides a controlled environment for fish production. Parameters such as temperature, dissolved oxygen levels, pH, and lighting can be precisely regulated, promoting optimal growth, reproduction, and disease prevention. This control allows for year-round production, regardless of external climatic conditions.

In Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS), the quality of aquaculture feed plays a vital role in ensuring optimal fish health, growth, and overall system efficiency. By selecting the right feed, aquaculturists can promote sustainable practices, minimize waste, and maximize productivity. This article highlights the significance of using high-quality aquaculture feed tailored to RAS, and how it can positively impact your aquaculture production.

RAS-Specific Aquaculture Feed:

Choosing aquaculture feed specifically formulated for RAS is crucial. These feeds are designed to meet the unique nutritional requirements of fish in a recirculating system. They provide balanced nutrition, ensuring optimal growth, disease resistance, and efficient feed conversion. Look for feeds with high-quality ingredients and essential nutrients, such as proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals, to support your fish's health and performance.

RecircReady:

Skretting’s dedicated concept for RAS, RecircReady, was introduced to the global aquaculture market back in 2009 - an industry first. The concept takes into account modelling capabilities, nutrient recycling solutions and health monitoring in addition to tailored feed solutions and was designed to provide farmers with the best possible solution to optimise land-based production.

Rapid Mycotoxin Analysis Kit – MYCOMASTER

Image
  When it comes to assessing the levels of mycotoxins that may be present in raw materials and final feed, integrators and feed millers are faced with some difficult choices. On one hand, they would like to know exactly which mycotoxins may be involved, as well as the degree of contamination. On the other, however, they need to be able to take effective action within hours, rather than waiting days to receive lab test analyses. Need of the hour: on-spot, reliable testing method Understanding the situation faced by integrators and feed millers, Trouw Nutrition has developed a tool to analyse mycotoxins without the need of a third-party laboratory.   Mycomaster provides rapid, cost-effective and quantitative mycotoxin analyses of over 40 validated feed raw materials and final feed. Mycomaster is designed to upload results directly to a secure online global database, thus enabling users to be able to compare the obtained results with reference data from old samples and fro...
