A Message From Our Partner

It’s crucial to understand how environment, water quality, and other factors can affect the performance, growth, and quality of a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) produced fish. As part of the RASTECH 2022 Conference & Trade Fair, the Conservation Fund Freshwater Institute will deliver two ‘Engineering Innovation’ sessions, which will hear from experts that will look into the current research and development (R&D) projects, studies, and discoveries being made at the Institute to increase sustainability and enhance the production of RAS.

Register today to join the conversation live, on March 31st in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

Session: Engineering Innovations Session 2 (March 31, 1:30 PM EST – 3:30 PM EST)
