What You Need to Know
Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) maintain water temperatures of 12–18 °C to optimize Atlantic salmon growth and cut energy use by 30 %. Biofloc technology raises dissolved oxygen above 6 mg L⁻¹ and suppresses ammonia below 0.1 mg L⁻¹, improving shrimp survival. Selective gear such as circle hooks and turtle excluder devices cut bycatch by up to 70 % without harming target species.
