Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) Products

Recirculating Aquaculture System, or RAS, is a technique for raising aquatic species in a closed, indoor, land-based system. This minimizes water consumption, provides maximum control of the environment, and reduces the risk of exposure to parasites, disease, and predators. Syndel has been involved in RAS for decades, with a variety of product offerings that help producers achieve their goals.

Benefits of RAS Aquaculture

  • Water Savings: The vast majority of water (95% – 99%) used in aquaculture facilities is recirculated and reused, resulting in a much more efficient use of water resources.

  • Mortality Reduction: The closed system of RAS design reduces or eliminates pathogens, providing biosecurity for fish grown in net pens. Sea lice and other health conditions that can affect fish are not an issue with this system.

  • Faster Throughput: Optimal water conditions and nutrition are essential for quicker fish growth.

  • Higher Quality Fish: RAS systems can help reduce fish stress, resulting in healthier and better tasting fish.

  • Natural Products: RAS-grown fish are produced with minimal to zero use of hormones and antibiotics.

  • Environmentally Friendly: Water conservation is an important environmental issue that can have a significant impact on resources.

  • Process Automation: Our extensive monitoring systems provide 24-hour control over feed and water quality, ensuring that your animals are always well-cared for.

  • Location: Fish are produced near the marketplace to reduce transportation costs and provide fresher fish to consumers.
