Shellfish Aquaculture

Aquaculture

Aquaculture is the most rapidly expanding food industry in the world as a result of declining wild fisheries stocks and growing global demand for seafood.

Aquaculture is one of the lowest carbon producing forms of food production on the planet – lower than most agricultural practices and lower than wild fish harvesting.

 

Aquaculture already supplies half the world’s seafood consumed by humans. Rapid population growth and an increased awareness of health benefits associated with seafood are projected to increase the global demand for seafood 24%.

 

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization forecasts a global seafood shortage of 50 – 80 million tonnes by 2030, and aquaculture will help meet that growing demand.

 

Aquaculture

In intense aquaculture, oxygen is vital and is diffused to water to maintain a good rearing environment.

 

AirPro recognises that the production of safe fish and shellfish products is of paramount importance.

 

Tighter government restrictions, higher quality standards and production costs, and scarce water supplies are evident now and will continue. AirPro can provide your business with Oxygen Generators, cost-effective monitoring and sampling solutions to help you meet these challenges.

 

Our innovative technologies offer real advantages that result in real savings.
