BRA - Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS)
Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) operate by filtering water from the fish (or shellfish) tanks so it can be reused within the tank. This dramatically reduces the amount of water and space required to intensively produce seafood products. The steps in RAS include solids removal, ammonia removal, Co2 removal and oxygenation.
BRA - Tilapia for Industrial Scale
Blue Ridge Aquaculture (BRA) produces Tilapia on an industrial scale. Tilapia are hardy herbivores that grow well in high stocking densities. The company raises nearly four million pounds of Tilapia each year at its 100,000 square foot facility in Martinsville, Virginia. An estimated 75,000 pounds of live tilapia are shipped from the facility to markets in New York, Boston, Toronto and other locations each week, making Blue Ridge Aquaculture the world’s largest indoor producer of tilapia. All of the company’s Tilapia are bred, born, and grown in controlled environments on site. BRA utilizes indoor water recirculation technology to produce fish that are free of disease and outdoor contaminants.
