Description
The experimental fish plant, where it conducts experimental activities to test new generations of feeds, nutritional supplements, drugs, and vaccines for commercial varieties of freshwater fish (mainly rainbow trout). The 800-square-meter facility comprises a small hatchery and more than 100 fish tanks. Of those, 66 flow-through tanks (from 0.7 to 3.5 mc) are completely dedicated to the research in aquaculture, while 36 are optimised for nutrition tests on freshwater species. The fish plant owns two small experimental RAS systems (tank + biofiltration) that could operate in a wide range of temperatures by means of a heat exchanger. The whole system and rearing conditions are monitored and adjustable using a multi-parametric smart probe with remote sensing technology.
