In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we’re talking about land-based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) for Atlantic salmon. We look at how these systems boost biosecurity, offer better control over the environment, and bring production closer to key markets. But we also explore the challenges, from energy demands and saltwater issues to technical, biological, and economic hurdles. You'll hear about the latest genetic advancements shaping the future of salmon farming. Want to stay on top of aquaculture innovation? Tune in now, available on all major platforms.
