A breakthrough solution for better-quality RAS fish farming—efficiently, safely and with increased profitability.
Farmed fish can accumulate unpleasant off-flavors, which reduces their market value and consumer appeal. Off-flavors also cause significant additional costs for RAS companies, as their removal delays harvesting, consumes large amounts of clean water, and requires equipment investments.
Luke and VTT have developed a capture solution based on chemically treated, cellulose-based fiber materials that effectively bind off-flavour compounds from water.
In trials at Luke’s Laukaa aquaculture facility, the fiber material accumulated up to a thousand times more off-flavour compounds from water compared to untreated water. Fish grown in water recirculated through the capture material showed off-flavour concentrations below sensory detection thresholds.
