Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) salmon farming and conventional sea cage salmon farming are two different methods.
In conventional sea cage farming, salmon are raised in large floating cages in open water. The water in the pens is not filtered or treated, and the waste produced by the salmon is released directly into the environment. This method can lead to environmental problems, such as releasing waste and chemicals into the ocean and spreading diseases and parasites to wild fish populations.
In contrast, Pure Salmon farming is a closed-loop system (RAS) in which water is continuously filtered and treated to maintain quality. This method reduces the risk of waste and chemicals being released into the environment and minimizes the spreading of disease and parasites. In addition, RAS systems allow for better control of water temperature, oxygen levels, and other environmental factors, which improves growth rates and the overall health of the salmon.
Raising salmon in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) can be important for the well-being of the salmon for several reasons:
The professionals involved in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) come from various backgrounds and have a range of expertise. Some of the different profiles of professionals engaged in RAS include:
The life cycle of salmon in a Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) farm typically includes several stages, including:
Water quality, temperature, and oxygen supply are all critical factors in a Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) salmon farm, and they play a significant role in the salmon welfare.
These factors are the central added values in a RAS salmon farm because they directly impact the health and growth of the salmon population. By controlling and maintaining optimal water quality, temperature, and oxygen levels, the RAS salmon farmer can ensure the production of high-quality, healthy, and marketable salmon.
