Post smolt

Full RAS setup, optimal for postmolt rearing. Scalable and adjustable

Supports system follows

Description

The technology has been successfully tested over the past five years. The initial system was implemented in a large post-smolt facility in Norway, where it has been preparing Atlantic salmon for grow-out over the past two years.

The system operates at a salinity level of 12–32‰ and a temperature range of 7–14 °C, achieving a 98% water recycling rate. Water consumption is 400–500 liters per kg of feed.

Biofiltration is fully integrated into the SCADA system for automated control, with backwashing scheduled every four weeks.
