In a follow-up to his initial piece on the subject of RAS, Andrew Leingang covers key elements including species selection, staffing and fish health.

Recirc systems are one of the boom areas in aquaculture at the moment, with new facilities being designed and built all over the world. It’s still a very young part of the sector, however, and it sometimes feels like there are more RAS facilities out there tha…
