The test of every good farming system is in the quality of the fish. Fish welfare is sometimes overlooked when talking about RAS systems, and yet it is one of the most vital components in achieving product quality. In this webinar, experts from BioMar and Benchmark Genetics will discuss key aspects for achieving optimal fish health and welfare in RAS, and Danish Salmon will provide a unique user perspective on the subject. Plus, Benchmark will present some important insights from a new global survey of RAS operators.
