The total volume of one RAS will be 15 m³ of water. The semi-flow system will be equipped with 10 rearing tanks with a uniform volume of 800 l, the system will be equipped with mechanical and biological filtration. The total volume of this system will be 12 m³ of water. An integral part of all systems will be a measurement and control system and connection to the existing backup power supply.
