WHY RAS?
Recirculating Aquaculture System
RAS represents a leap forward in sustainable fish farming to tackle the world’s growing need for food. It offers significant advantages over other forms of production and promotes environmental conservation by minimizing water usage, waste output and protection of wild species.
SEAentia differentiates itself from traditional fisheries and offshore farms by delivering high-quality protein with exceptional flavour, thanks to its unique approach to aquaculture. The design of our RAS is finely tuned to enhance corvina performance. Through rigorous scientific research, we develop tailored growth models and feeding strategies that align perfectly with the specific nutritional needs and production conditions of the fish. Our dedication to cultivating corvina in fully controlled environments at SEAentia’s facilities is guided by well-defined goals:
Biosecurity
The use of both physical and biological filters is crucial in the retention of pathogens and pollutants, thereby playing a key role in disease prevention and boosting the health of farmed organisms.
Environmental protection
By optimizing feed use, RAS reduces waste and improves fish feed efficiency, minimizing its ecological footprint. The effort towards using sustainable ingredient sources when formulating fish feed has been a worldwide concern, which is showing progress through scientific research and industry collaboration, aiming to reduce the impact on wild fish populations while ensuring aquaculture’s sustainability.
Avoiding drugs and antibiotics protects water quality and helps preserve ecosystems.
The reuse of approximately 90% of water prevents the depletion of natural resources, and the system’s design prevents farmed fish from escaping, safeguarding local biodiversity.
Using renewable energy helps lower the carbon footprint of the production.
Traceability
SEAentia is committed to maintaining transparency and responsibility in its business practices by guaranteeing full traceability for its products. The company provides customers with a comprehensive history from the hatch of the fish, through every step of the processing and distribution chain, right up to the final sale. This commitment to traceability not only guarantees the quality and safety of SEAentia’s products but also supports sustainable practices by allowing consumers to verify the ethical and environmental credentials of their seafood choices. Through tracking technologies and data record-keeping, SEAentia enables consumers to have complete confidence in the integrity and sustainability of their purchases, reinforcing the company’s dedication to excellence and environmental stewardship in the aquaculture industry.
Quality
By implementing precise growth and feeding models scientifically developed, SEAentia guarantees the production of fish with exceptional flavour and high nutritional quality. These models optimize the diet and environment for the fish, leading to healthier, more robust specimens that meet the highest standards of taste and nutrition.
SEAentia RAS
Every tank within the SEAentia facility is equipped with an extensive array of sensors, allowing real-time tracking and registration of water conditions to ensure optimal conditions for the fish. This monitoring setup will interface with a web-based platform, complemented by an automated alert mechanism. If water conditions stray from normal levels, the system automatically sends an alert, prompting either automatic adjustments or quick human intervention to ensure the system functions effectively.
