Model Smolt - Recirculation Aquaculture Systems (RAS)

The introduction of Recirculation Aquaculture Systems (RAS) in the salmon farming business has increased the production efficiency in the whole industry. The main impact is the readiness of which smolt are available for delivery to the sea-based farms. Smolt can now be delivered at any time, all year around. Previously, smolt production was carried out in flow-through systems connected to the river. With this method, the production had to follow the natural conditions of cold winters and hot summers - affecting the growth and time for delivery. By using RAS technology, production can be planned to meet precisely the time required for smolt release into the sea-based fish farms.
