Aquaculture systems refer to the process of farming and cultivating aquatic organisms like fish, shellfish, and plants in controlled environments like tanks, ponds, or net pens. It involves the raising and breeding of these aquatic species for commercial purposes, such as food production or conservation efforts.

Marianne Cufone, Executive Director of the Recirculating Farms Coalition, talks about hurricanes, tilapia and how
recirculating aquaculture systems can be produce seafood sustainably.
Other research groups have also detected it in wastewater treatment plants, in groundwater and even
in aquaculture systems.
«In our
Oceanus aquaculture system, we are purifying the water and creating a current which is very strong and which turns the salmon into a product that is very similar to what wild Atlantic salmon would taste like.
Farming in
recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS) gives an opportunity for maximising farming conditions, reducing emissions of nutrients to the aquatic environment, reducing water consumption and for farming with a high level of bio-security.
Will Allen in Milwaukee has already demonstrated the concept with a community
food aquaculture system he calls Growing Power.

The «Namgis Closed Containment Project is growing out Atlantic salmon to 3 to 5 kilograms in a land - based, closed - containment recirculating
aquaculture system (RAS).
Our aquaculture system grows fish, provides high - nitrogen fertilizer, grows food year round, acts as a heat sink to balance greenhouse temperatures, and is where most of our rooting propagation occurs.

This includes, for example: making sustainable, healthy diets the norm, with more fruit, veg and plant - based proteins; eliminating food wastage from farm to fork; reducing reliance on antibiotics in livestock farming; scaling up sustainable animal feed and
aquaculture systems; improving smallholder livelihoods; and rolling out restorative agriculture approaches, such as agroecology, agroforestry and soil carbon farming.
