An integrated and coordinated approach to resource management.
Moving aquaculture into land-based recirculating systems is one of the best ways to reduce — if not eliminate — the potential for environmental impact. Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are technologies which establish suitable conditions for aquaculture using indoor tanks, pumps, aerators and filters; with new developments featured in King Prawn facilities, they can be designed to achieve new levels of disease resiliency as well as improved yields at harvest, raising prospects for conscious consumers and impact investors alike.
And yet, we didn't stop there.
Inline technologies simultaneously break down solids from input without use of chemicals, decrease high energy costs associated with farming operations and increase oxygen-availability — depriving bacteria, pathogens and viruses a living environment. These applications remove scaling, dangerous biofilms caused by microplastics and heavy metals from infrastructure to provide a natural, ionised setting that enhances animal protein for elevated harvest cycles.
Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) comprise a suite of powerful tools to further enhance each indoor pool to ensure ecological balance for our shrimp and the surrounding environment. King Prawn systems continuously monitor water temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity, turbidity, total suspended solids, pH, ammonia (NH3), nitrites (NO2), nitrates (NO3) and settling solids as an essential process while safeguarding recyclable waste prior to discharge.
When engaged in feeding cycles, indoor shrimp offer a variety of important outputs which can contribute to healthier processes both inside and outside the tank. In order to maximise nutrient digestibility and health of our facilities, each aquaculture system converts hydrolysed proteins for pellet formulation as well as cyclonic separation technology which captures harvested shrimp waste for soil conditioners, adding yet another tangible asset for organic food producers worldwide.
Each indoor facility delivers high volumes of various sized shrimp, from a minimum of 40 count to a maximum of 12 count per pound, producing at least 200 tonnes annually without harming the environment, compromising on seafood quality or placing generations at further risk.
Roughly 70 percent of consumers want more info from companies about sustainability, and 63 percent want to know that their seafood can be traced back to a known and trusted source.
