Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) is a technique that reuses the water several times that passes the water through treatment processes to eliminate waste and restore the quality of water. It is a technology that is used for the farming of fishes and other aquatic species by reusing the water for production. The technology is based on the usage of biological and mechanical filters. The advantages such as the control over the pH and carbon dioxide degassing have proven to be beneficial for the growth of the fishes. Thus, the aforementioned benefits associated with the adoption of RAS technology in fish production is driving the global aquaculture market.
