Smarter fish farms could cut electricity use and CO₂ while keeping fish safe
Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are attracting growing attention as a sustainable aquaculture technology that can reduce water use, control rearing conditions and lower environmental impacts by filtering and reusing water. At the same time, RAS facilities rely on pumps, filters, aerators and other equipment that are often operated continuously or according to conservative fixed schedules, resulting in substantial electricity consumption to maintain stable rearing conditions.
