Why sustainable
fish farming?

We don’t do all this because it’s easy.

We do it because it’s the only responsible way.

Sustainable fish farming is the best way to produce protein to meet the demands of the world’s growing population. A shift from meat to fish in an environmentally sustainable way to take care of our planet and its habitants.

Why recirculating aquaculture system (RAS)

Maintaining
healthy ECOSYSTEMS

Traditional open net pen salmon farming contaminates marine ecosystems as the waste products (feces and feed) are released directly into the environment. With our closed system, we can trap all the waste in our discharge water and recirculate the nutrients into fertilizers and bioenergy.

BETTER
for the seas, fish and you

Microplastics are found everywhere in every ocean. According to the 2017 UN report, there’s more than 51 trillion microplastic particles in our seas. And if they’re in the sea, they’re in the fish, too. We grow our fish out of the sea and in a closed system to ensure we don’t increase the microplastic load further – and can provide the consumers with plastic-free fish.

Fish in the sea

That common phrase you know is more wrong every day. Overfishing is taking the wildlife from the seas at rates too high for fished species to replace themselves. The demand for fish is increasing while the supply deficit is expected to reach 30 % by 2030. We want to stop this progress by farming fish on land.

Benefits of RAS technology

sustainable
solution

reducing pollution, conserving water resources, and preventing the spread of diseases to wild aquatic populations.

RAS
saves water

We recirculate and purify water, reducing the need for large volumes of fresh water. Over 95 % of the water is recirculated.

Optimal
conditions

Optimal water conditions and consistent temperature lead to faster growth and healthy fish.

All organic
waste utilized

Efficiently manage and recover uneaten feed, reducing feed wastage and operational costs.

Minimal
nutrients

in the discharge water means minimal environmental burden.

Pure
water

Means no plastics or diseases and no antibiotics or pesticides. Better management of water quality, resulting in healthier fish.

Year-Round
Production

RAS allows for year-round fish production, regardless of external weather conditions.

Local
Production

RAS can be established near markets, reducing the carbon footprint of long-distance transportation.

Controlled
Conditions

Better control over key parameters such as temperature, oxygen levels, and water quality, ensuring optimal conditions for fish growth.
