Food determines ephemerous and non-stable gut microbiome communities in juvenile wild and farmed Mediterranean fish The two groups of farmed S. aurata used for this study in 2019 and 2021 were supplied by two different hatcheries located at the same latitude on the Spanish Mediterranean coast and were transported to IRTA’s (Institut de Recerca i Tecnologies Agroalimentàries) facilities as […]

Dietary Debaryomyces hansenii promotes skin and skin mucus defensive capacities in a marine fish model A total of 500 S. aurata juveniles (BW = 14.5 ± 1.2 g) were obtained from a commercial farm (PISCIMAR SL; AVRAMAR, Burriana, Spain) and transported and acclimated to IRTA-La Ràpita research facilities (La Ràpita, Spain). During acclimatization, fish were […]

Researcher, let IRTAmar® take care of everything. How many times have we come across scientists trying to design and build their own RAS system to carry out their experiments. Their work is commendable, but in most cases unfortunately it ends in failure, many dead fish, wasted time and the money for your essay thrown down […]

Revolutionizing Aquaculture Research: The Benefits of Fully Automated Systems and Digitalization In the scope of aquaculture research, the quest for innovation and efficiency never ceases. As the demand for sustainable seafood production continues to rise, so does the need for advanced technologies that streamline processes and enhance productivity while ensuring the well-being of aquatic species. […]

The choreography of aquaculture science The day of the final sampling arrived. A very complex experimental design but with the security that comes with carrying it out under an IRTAmar® system. Now it time to organize the collection of samples for analysis of the results. Check out this exciting display of scientific choreographyby a team of […]

Continuous improvement of RAS systems After two years of uninterrupted work, the time has come to update our IRTAmar RAS systems. It’s time for a complete tune-up. Its modularity allows us this type of updates in a simple and efficient way. https://irtamar.irta.cat/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/RAS01-Hecho-con-Clipchamp_1715086844353.mp4

IRTAmar® versus traditional RAS production One of the first questions we get asked by our colleagues and customers is, what is the difference between a traditional production RAS and an IRTAmar? There are multiple differences and today we are going to try to explain the main ones. The first difference is defined by the different […]

How RAS technology can make your life easier Conceptually recirculation is simple. It consists of passing the same water, over and over again, through an infinite loop in which we try not to lose too much water in the process, maintain the essential conditions for the life of the animals and avoid scares. We spend […]

Advancing Aquaculture Through Sensorization and Digitalization In the dynamic landscape of aquaculture, the convergence of cutting-edge technology and industry expertise has birthed a new era of innovation. Leading this change is the IRTAmar® -an automated Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS)- engineered to redefine the boundaries of aquaculture efficiency and precision.   Forged through over two decades […]

Single cell protein from methanotrophic bacteria as an alternative healthy and functional protein source in aquafeeds, a holistic approach in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) juveniles Unvaccinated rainbow trout juveniles were purchased from Truchasde Leiza SL (Leiza, Navarra, Spain), and transported to IRTA researchfacilities in la R`apita (Tarragona, Spain). Trouts were acclimated duringtwo weeks in a […]
