The demand for quality seafood and sophisticated consumer purchasing trends have increased. This combined with the environmental and financial risks of off-shore aquaculture create the need for farmers to gain greater control over their operations. Land-based aquaculture is a solution for aquaculture companies to reduce risk, while maximizing profitability.
Utilizing advanced recirculating aquaculture systems allows farmers to achieve a farm-to-table strategy by locating facilities on land near key markets. This reduces shipping costs and shortens delivery timeframes, while offering consumers a superior fresh product.
Land-based aquaculture facilities create a means of producing seafood with a minimal impact on the fisheries and the environment, while reducing the carbon footprint of conventional seafood supply chains.
