Pisces Engineering Ltd are developing a patented recirculation technology that aims to resolve the issue of muddy flavours and taints in fish reared in recirculated aquaculture systems.
The taints in recirculation systems can be a result of chemicals that are realised by certain bacteria species that inhabit the water and system surfaces.
There is a focus on flavour issues as there is an urgent requirement to supply a consistently high quality product that is comparable to the wild alternative, if these types of systems are going to provide an effective solution to the global fish production gap.
The design is based on preventing compounds being produced in the system at the initial stage rather than treating the water with potentially hazardous agents.
Pisces Engineering Ltd were awarded the SMART award from the Scottish Government for their design and will use this to build a semi-commercial pilot scale system to prove the feasibility and viability of the process.
