"They do this by refreshing less than 5% of the water in their systems and consistently monitoring water quality parameters on a daily basis. Unique to this way of farming is the maximal control farmers have over every individual step in fish production. They can carefully choose and monitor the used water source(s), water quality parameters, fish genetics, feeds and feeding levels, but also uphold the highest standards of biosecurity, water quality and fish welfare. As RAS monitor water quality parameters so meticulously, enabling fish to grow well and qualitatively, it will not come as a surprise that pollution is reduced to an absolute minimum. Moving the fish production closer to its feed suppliers, slaughterhouses or consumer markets, including big cities, significantly impacts on the carbon footprint of the food chain. The water quality is monitored continuously during the day, every day, and is quickly adjusted when necessary to provide the best water quality for the fish at all times. Good water quality, high-quality feeds and good management allow the fish to feel good, stay healthy and grow to their full potential. Proper design and management of RAS, optimum RAS feed quality and feeding management are essential for successful and sustainable fish production."
