At Blue Stream Aquaculture, we strive to use the most up-to-date technologies at our facilities in order to minimize our effect on the environment.
Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS)
At our New Hampshire farm, we recently completed construction of a state of the art RAS for our fish. A Recirculating Aquaculture System uses efficient filtration systems to take out the waste and reuse the water, massively reducing natural resource consumption. After being cycled through the filters, water goes back into the fish raceways, giving our trout the cleanest water to live and grow in. Our RAS allows us to grow our trout in an environment that is free from outside contaminants and pollution, producing healthy fish with no need for antibiotics, hormones, or medications.
Be Proud of Your Protein
Hatching and growing our trout completely within our own facilities is important for more than just the health of our fish. It means that we can provide you with a healthy protein choice that is being grown in a responsible way. Our trout are cared for by our passionate staff that have many years of experience and are all committed to our mission of producing a highest quality, sustainable protein source that you can be proud to eat. By growing trout in our RAS, we keep wild trout in the important, fragile, wild ecosystems where they belong.
Renewable Energy from the Sun
At our Cape Cod farm, we are now using solar power for the majority of our energy needs in our continuing efforts to become a net zero energy facility. There are solar arrays on the barn roof and solar canopies strategically placed above the raceways. The canopies are coupled with battery storage which we draw our electricity from overnight. The canopies also increase the amount of shade on the raceways, which increases the potential dissolved oxygen levels in the water, and results in lower stress levels to the fish and healthier fish.
