At Amar Seafoods facilities in Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada, sustainable and efficient fish farming is at the heart of our mission. One of the key attributes that help us achieve this goal is our use of a deep seawater well, which provides a consistent and high-quality water source for our land-based aquaculture operations. Here’s why this system is a game-changer:
By drawing water from our deep saltwater well we can reduce the exposure to surface-level contaminants like parasites and pollutants. This cleaner water promotes healthier fish and faster growth rates, ensuring that we provide the best-quality seafood to our customers.
Surface water can fluctuate in temperature and quality, but the deep seawater well delivers consistent salinity, oxygen levels, and temperature. This stability minimizes stress on the fish, allowing them to thrive in an optimal growth environment year-round.
Amar Seafood’s deep saltwater intake provides an added layer of biosecurity by avoiding many of the pathogens and parasites found in surface water. This helps reduce disease risks, lowers the need for medications, and ensures healthier, more naturally raised fish.
While deep saltwater wells require a higher initial investment, they offer long-term sustainability by providing a reliable, high-quality water source and reducing the environmental impact of our operations. As global demand for responsibly farmed fish continues to grow, Amar Seafood is proud to be leading the way with cutting-edge, eco-friendly technology in PEI.
Deep saltwater wells offer our land-based aquaculture operations a unique edge, combining cleaner water, improved biosecurity, and environmental sustainability. As the industry moves towards more sustainable practices, these wells are an investment that can ensure both healthier fish and healthier ecosystems.
