(RAS) technology is one of the fastest growing branches of aquaculture. In Norway, it’s predicted that 130 -150 thousand tons of salmon will be farmed with RAS technology by 2024.
The cost of new cage farm permits and salmon sea lice is driving the more cost efficient RAS technology forward.
Due to the cleaning process RAS farms are considered much more environmentally friendly than a cage farm, all the waste products from RAS can be used in biogas production or as fertilizers in agriculture.
