Recirculated Aquaculture System (RAS)
Australia
Aquacultur is a Internet of Things (IoT) and sensors based digital solution for aquaculture. RAS is aelf-contained, tank-based system. It recycles water allowing for an Indoor recirculating aquaculture and fish to be grown under controlled environmental conditions in water. Recycling is done through biological and mechanical filters, with minimal waste exchanged back into the environment and a low volume of water required per unit of production. Aquacultur’s modular Recirculated Aquaculture System (RAS) provides a closed-loop method of farming fish in freshwater pods where water is purified & reused continuously. This reduces water & energy consumption, land footprint, and environmental impact in comparison with traditional aquaculture.
