NTT G&F has initiated a land-based aquaculture project using Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) technology in Kesennuma, Japan. The project focuses on farming Coho salmon and trout to boost local industries and create employment opportunities.
The project utilizes RAS technology, which is an advanced method for sustainable and controlled fish farming on land. Kesennuma, a city with a rich fishing heritage, was selected to enhance regional economic development through aquaculture.
By adopting RAS, the project aims to minimize environmental impacts compared to traditional aquaculture while ensuring high-quality fish production. The approach supports regional revitalization by leveraging cutting-edge technology.
