Growing seafood on land - a more sustainable option towards food sustainability
The demand for seafood is rising like never before, and unsustainable fishing has depleted the oceans. Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) can present a sustainable solution by producing seafood in land-based systems with water treatment and reuse. At the heart of the RAS water treatment system is the nitrifying bioreactor. The bioreactor contains microbes that remove the ammonia produced by the fish, thus maintaining the ammonia concentration at safe levels for the fish.
