According to the authority re-circulating aquaculture system could enable intensive fish production at low levels of water consumption. These are the chief focus of Fischtechnik International Engineering GmbH’s presentation at EuroTier 2008 from 11 to 14 November in Hannover, Germany.
Experts told that sustainable fish farming as a supplement to natural resources is playing a more and more important role when it comes to meeting the increasing demand for fish worldwide. It is confirmed that re-circulating aquaculture systems can make an important contribution, since they use resources economically and keep environmental damage to a minimum.
Fischtechnik International Engineering has been a specialist in such field for many years. Among the company’s most recent projects are a large abalone farm in Ireland, a system for production of European perch in Switzerland and two systems in Iraq under the auspices of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It is said that the company works closely with research institutes, universities and specialist companies all over the world to create highly profitable fish farms that enable sustainable fish production under strict environmental conditions.
The company said that its main focus at EuroTier will be recirculating aquaculture system technology for turnkey contracts and individual projects. Fischtechnik will also be exhibiting fish grading machines, systems for filtration, water disinfection and oxygenation and measurement and control technology.
