Pure Salmon Japan (formerly Soul of Japan), a portfolio company of 8F Asset Management, has secured more than USD 180 million in financing led by funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group, with participation from existing investor Tor Investment Management. The financing supports the continued development of Pure Salmon Japan’s land-based recirculating aquaculture system […]

Pure Salmon France has received a positive approval given by the public inquiry commission in France from the context of the aquaculture farm and salmon processing in the public hearing in Verdon-sur-Mer (Gironde) to get environmental and construction permitting. This major step validates the quality of the project carried out by Pure Salmon, as well […]

Huon Aquaculture has entered into an agreement with Pure Salmon Technology for the design, delivery, and installation of a new land-based hatchery in Tasmania.

An agreement has been signed for the construction of a new RAS facility at Vestbygda in Nordland, Norway. Total investment estimated at NOK 585 million.

Pure Salmon Technology has established a new office in Australia and secured a major project with Huon Aquaculture. The company has established Pure Salmon Technology Australia and appointed Patrick Tigges as Managing Director. The new office marks an important step in the company’s international growth strategy. In addition, Huon Aquaculture selected Pure Salmon Technology for […]

With solid experience in research, quality, sustainability and leadership, Synnøve Helland takes on the role of Commercial Director at Pure Salmon Technology.

The problem Technology does not replace competence. A modern RAS facility is a complex workplace where fish biology, water treatment, automation and daily operation must work together. Without trained operators, even a well-designed system can become difficult to manage. What happens in practice Operational problems often develop when alarms are misunderstood, routines are inconsistent, or […]

Water use in RAS is often described as low. In practice, it is constrained by biology, regulation and system design. Current situationSeveral facilities report limitations in freshwater availability. At the same time, regulatory pressure and control of water use are increasing. Typical water use in RAS ranges between 300–600 litres per kg feed. What drives […]

Fish handling introduces rapid changes in pressure and water conditions. This increases the risk of gas-related stress and disease. What is gas bubble diseaseGas bubble disease occurs when dissolved gases come out of solution inside the fish.This happens when water is supersaturated, typically when TGP exceeds 100%.Gas forms bubbles in tissue and blood, affecting gills, […]

Control, not complexity The problemRAS facilities are complex, but daily operation must be manageable. What happens in practiceOperators handle large amounts of data and multiple systems. Lack of overview increases risk and workload. What mattersOperators need clear information, early warnings and systems that support decisions. How we approach itWe design control systems that provide overview, […]

What happens when recirculation approaches 100 percent The problemReducing water use increases system efficiency, but also increases complexity. What happens in practiceCompounds accumulate in the system over time. Without proper removal, they can reach harmful levels. What mattersLow water use requires control of more than particles and gases. Nutrients, metals and trace compounds must also […]

The problem Operational safety is a core requirement in RAS. A facility may be technically advanced, but if the design does not support stable operation, maintenance and system recovery, the risk of downtime, water quality issues and fish losses increases. What happens in practice Small design weaknesses can create larger operational problems over time. Poor […]
