Efficient and innovative fish production via best available technology (RAS2020) (39328)

Project Details

Description

This project includes a full scale test and development of a conceptual recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) for king fish production. The innovative aspect of this modular RAS2020 concept regards the design—a one unit circular module designed to have a 1200 MT/Y capacity.

The aim of this project is to build and develop a RAS unit with small footprint, low cost and reduced construction time. The RAS2020 unit includes state of the art treatment units (Hydrotech drumfilters, Krüeger biofilters—nitrification and denitrification) and is built with flexible interconnected rearing sections. When the RAS2020 is built and stocked with kingfish, an extended sampling and monitoring program will be performed in order to assess system performance in particular N, P and organic matter removal.
