Recirculating systems are among the technologies at the vanguard of aquaculture engineering.\u00a0<\/strong>Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) allow fish to be farmed in net cages or tanks instead of open-air ponds. These systems allow high-density fish production within a breeding environment that is controllable by the operator of the facility. The filters of the recirculating system clean and recycle the water, sending it back to the tanks. New water is only added to the tanks to compensate for water lost due to splashing and evaporation, and to replace that used to remove waste materials.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
