Innovation & Investment
A number of large salmon farming companies are now investing significantly to increase land-based, water recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) in northern Europe and North America, and there is likely a need for more trained farm personnel to run and manage these and other close-containment aquaculture facilities.
Responsibility
Dozens of land-based, closed-containment salmonid RAS systems are coming on line. New projects are bringing new principles into the salmon industry. Industry expansion hinges upon the development of pollution-mitigating technologies to reduce nutrients in effluents.
Responsibility
Pure oxygen transfer columns and vacuum degassing columns can be used to drive dissolved nitrogen gas concentrations down to sub-saturation levels.
