Aquaculture Composting

Challenges in the Aquaculture Industry

The Aquaculture industry faces unique challenges for mortality and effluent management. Ecodrum™’s resident Aquaculture Specialist (Matthew) has attended many tradeshows and visited many aquaculture operations in the effort to understand the challenge you face. From RAS facilities, flow through farms, and open net pens, Salmon, trout, tilapia and beyond, Ecodrum™ fits them all.

Fish mortality is volatile, noxious, and presents a bio-security concern. This volatile characteristic causes storage issues and pest / predator issues while waiting for disposal services. These services often hold a monopoly, which results in expensive disposal service fees.

With restrictions rising for raw manure application to agriculture, options are decreasing, and costs are rising. The Ecodrum™ family has options for manure management. Contact us for more information.
