Aquaculture

Due to the far reaching ecological threat and harm caused by open-net fish farming in the sea, work is being done to protect fish and the marine ecosystem from the impact of this.   This has led to closed containment systems being considered a more environmentally viable alternative as it reduces most of the negative impacts of open net fish farming in the sea.

Closed containment is a proven, viable technology and is currently being used in some countries around the world.  It has become widely regarded by scientists, conservationists, some farming companies and the public as a more responsible alternative to open net and cage fish farming in the sea.

Environmental and economic factors have created this opportunity for on-shore fish tanks and with the expertise that Permastore has gained through its long history and experience in this sector, the PERMASTORE^® containment solution provides the ideal answer to closed containment farming and storage of fish for the following reasons:

• The non-stick nature of the vitreous enamel surface allows easy and complete cleaning
• Algae growth is minimised because of the inert, hard smooth surface of the structure
• There are no internal protrusions likely to cause injury to the fish
• The tanks are delivered in flat-pack form making them ideal for remote farm locations
• A wide range of standard sizes are available as well as a variety of standard external colours
