RAS is a complex production method which requires combined knowledge in water recirculation technology, fish biology, nutrition and more. Interdepartmental collaboration is crucial to reach maximum efficiency. Skretting has been working with Atlantic Sapphire on training AS employees on all aspects of full cycle salmon RAS production, that are critical to stable and consistent outcomes.
Training for Tomorrow - How Skretting’s ‘Team 4K’ training is empowering Atlantic Sapphire’s Journey to 4 kg Excellence
Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) present a promising pathway for sustainable seafood production, offering a land-based solution that reduces environmental impact while enhancing operational control. As one of the world’s largest onshore aquaculture company, Atlantic Sapphire is already leading the way in this space and are currently pursuing a target of reaching an average weight of 4 kg by 2025. Reaching that target requires more than just cutting-edge infrastructure, it takes a highly skilled team. Skretting North America have partnered closely with Atlantic Sapphire to deliver specialized, hands-on training tailored to the unique demands of RAS, ensuring their people are equipped to drive performance and sustainability forward.
Reaching production excellence requires deep knowledge across multiple disciplines including water recirculation technology, fish biology, nutrition and more. Skretting’s ‘4K’ training is designed to address all these critical areas, ensuring that each component of the production cycle is optimized for efficiency and sustainability. We’re proud to be part of that journey, helping to shape a more resilient and forward-looking RAS model, one that can scale and succeed for years to come.
