Construction of a new Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) facility at our Boot Lagoon Hatchery is approaching completion. The project, which started in the fall of 2019, is scheduled to be complete this May. The new RAS facility will include: ... - eight production tanks, 231 m3 volume each (or 231,000 litres) - water temperature control system - water filtration system - de-nitrification system - de-phosphorus system - UV disinfection system - water ozonation system Our Boot Lagoon hatchery was originally constructed in the 1970s, and although there have been several upgrades and improvements along the way, the ageing infrastructure needed to be upgraded. Each of the eight tanks in the new facility the ability will be able to support 160,00 smolts with an average weight of 95 grams.

Our new Aquaship and mechanical delousing gear - the SFI System - are currently undergoing final prep and inspections in Victoria before starting to make its way to the east coast of Vancouver Island, expected in early February. Once the vessel is cleared, we look forward to getting our teams on board, trained and ready to start using this state-of-the-art new mechanical treatment system. #exciting #notyourdadsfarm #betterthroughinnovation #alwaysimproving
