As the world population roared past 7.7 billion people, and as warnings of drought, heat waves and food shortages continue across the world, the aquaculture industry is quietly growing into a substantial producer of fish across the continent.  God is not making more arable land nor is He making more freshwater, so as the number of people increases the allocation of these precious basic resources is decreasing per person.  We are therefore obliged find more efficient ways of producing food that do not require massive quantities of land and water. 
 
Recirculating is the future of the industry as a small footprint is required, water usage is very efficient and huge quantities of fish can be produced from these installations.  Importantly, going forward I believe that the dual advantages of excluding both pesticide pollution and fish diseases will be in favour of recirculating systems over ponds and cages.
 
Aquaponics is a further deal sweetener as a second crop can be produced cost effectively from the wastes generated by feeding the fish.  In terms of food security, environmental sensitivity and profitability, aquaponics is becoming mainstay in the RAS sector of the aquaculture industry.
 
In recent months we completed multiple aquaculture, aquaponics and hatchery installations for tilapia and catfish, below are some examples of these systems.  Send me an email to find out about how we can support you through the supply and installation of a profitable, modern aquaculture system.
