The Benefits of Land-Based Aquaculture Operations

Land-based aquaculture is becoming an increasingly attractive option. We think this innovative approach is playing an important part in the sustainable and responsible future for fish farming. What makes land-based aquaculture so beneficial?

‍

Standout advantage

One of the standout advantages is environmental control. In a land-based system, water quality, temperature, and feeding can all be closely monitored and adjusted. This reduces the risk of disease outbreaks and allows fish to thrive in optimal conditions, leading to healthier stocks and higher-quality products.

‍

Another benefit is sustainability. Land-based farms produce significantly less waste and have a smaller environmental footprint than traditional offshore operations. Wastewater can be treated before being released, preventing pollution in natural ecosystems. The closed nature of these systems also improves biosecurity, shielding fish from parasites, diseases, and invasive species found in open waters.

Close to market flexibility

Land-based farms offer flexibility in location, allowing operations to be placed closer to markets, reducing transportation costs and carbon footprints. These systems are also less vulnerable to extreme weather, ensuring a stable and reliable fish supply year-round.

At Amar Seafood, we believe land-based aquaculture represents the future of sustainable seafood production. It’s an investment in both the health of our oceans and the quality of the fish on your plate.
