FishFrom announces exclusive partnership with Italian University over breakthrough aquaculture technology

Atlantic Salmon RAS: Scotland’s Next Step

A strategic partnership between Scotland and Italy will jumpstart the production of a key species in Scotland. 

Atlantic salmon are Scotland’s most iconic fish. Over the years, farming of the species has greatly expanded. But with concerns over the environmental consequences of open net pens, an increasing number of land-based, recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are now emerging. 

Taking advantage of this opportunity is FishFrom Ltd based in Dunkeld, Perthshire. With more than 120 years’ experience between them, the team has been researching and designing RAS systems since 2012, with a view to supplying premium-quality farmed salmon with technology that minimises environmental impact and maximises animal welfare. 

Now, the company is due to commercialise a new RAS technology through a strategic partnership with the universities of Trento and Bologna and The Innovation Hub of Trentino (HIT) in Italy.

New Partnership

FishFrom Ltd director and co-founder Andrew Robertson explains that a visit to the Freshwater Institute in West Virginia led to plans to establish a commercially viable opportunity to farm Atlantic salmon using RAS. Robertson and his team connected with the universities of Trento and Bologna through a collaboration with EIT food, a community that is part of the European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT), an independent EU body that promotes innovation and entrepreneurship across Europe.
