About this Project
Salt Life Fisheries represents a major advancement in commercial aquaculture, combining cutting-edge biofloc technology with efficient system design to create a highly productive fish farming operation.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
- Advanced water quality management systems for optimal fish health
- Energy-efficient aeration technology reducing operational costs
- Strategic tank layout for simplified maintenance and harvesting
- Integrated filtration systems that minimize environmental impact
- Climate-controlled environment for year-round production
CHALLENGES OVERCOME
The project site presented significant challenges, as the land was filled with large hard rocks. Since the owner had rented the property, these terrain difficulties were unexpected. Our team utilized specialized breaking equipment to remove the rocks and brought in additional soil to create a suitable foundation. Despite these obstacles, excellent accommodations and food facilities for our installation team enabled efficient work progress.
WHAT DID WE ACHIEVE
- Successfully installed a 1,000,000-liter biofloc system with 30 tanks of varying capacities
- Reduced water usage by approximately 40% compared to traditional aquaculture methods
- Optimized production cycles allowing for multiple harvests annually without system stress
- Enhanced fish growth rates through perfectly controlled environmental conditions
- Significantly lowered disease incidence through superior water quality management
- Achieved balanced ecosystem within tanks, reducing dependency on external inputs
- Implemented efficient waste management systems that minimize environmental impact
IMPACT ON LOCAL COMMUNITY
- Created sustainable employment opportunities for local residents across various skill levels
- Established a reliable source of high-quality fish for regional markets, improving food security
- Introduced advanced sustainable aquaculture practices to the farming community
- Provided a demonstration site for farmers interested in modern fish production methods
- Reduced pressure on local wild fish populations by offering a sustainable alternative
- Contributed to regional economic development through direct and indirect employment
- Served as an educational resource for sustainable farming and water conservation practices
With this project, Asha Biofloc has set a benchmark for the future of aquaculture in India, ensuring long-term success for fish farmers while preserving natural resources.
