Many thanks, it was a real pleasure to share with ye the results we obtained from our aquaponics experiments!

Right on time, one week later, the same fish as the previous picture gave us a very good quality ribbon. #aquaculture #perch #ireland

📢📢First lettuce harvest of the year! All the lettuces and herbs in the pictures are grown in our greenhouse as part of the ProjectSAFEeu, using the fish wastewater as fertiliser in a perfect example of circular economy 🐟🌍🌱

📢📢 watercress story --> three weeks of growth after transplanting! All of our greenhouse vegetables are grown using fish wastewater from our RAS system as part of the ProjectSAFEeu 🌱🌍🐟

📢Not only aquaponics⚡️ Thanks to the ProjectSAFEeu we are growing redworm 🪱 using duckweed and fish wastewater sludge! When the redworm are ready they will be used as a replacement for fishmeal in the production of a sustainable experimental fish feed 🐟🌍🌱

📢📢It is harvest time for our aquaponics hops ⚡️thanks to the ProjectSAFEeu we have the opportunity to further explore the potential of hops to absorb the nutrients present in the fish wastewater from our ras system🐟🌱🍻

📢📢Autumn has begun and the temperature is dropping 🍂but the plants in our greenhouse are still performing very well and are all ready for the final harvest 🌱 Soon it will be time to prepare for planting a winter crop ☃️ All these experiments are thanks to ProjectSAFEeu

📢📢Despite unfavorable winter conditions, including the two recent storms 🌪️⛈️, our watercress is growing in the experimental greenhouse! all this thanks to the fish wastewater as fertiliser and ProjectSAFEeu 👇

📢Here is our first harvest of red worms grown in our vermiculture unit by using duckweed and fish waste as source of food ⚡️The frozen worms will then be used as a new ingredient in an innovative fish feed formulation 👉All this thanks to the ProjectSAFEeu #horizoneurope

📣 It's harvest time for our radishes! 👉This fast growing root is maturing very quickly in our aquaponics unit, just 6 weeks from seed to harvest! ⚡️An ideal plant for the removal of Phosphate from fish wastewater🐟 🌎 ☘ 👉 All this thanks to the ProjectSAFEeu

📢Here at Keywater Fisheries we are growing all our vegetables soil-less by using a plastic media as a support for the plants growth and fish wastewater as fertiliser 🐟 🌎 ☘ Advantages 👇 - lower disease risk - less water - no chemicals/pesticides 👉 Follow ProjectSAFEeu

📣 Here is just a video of our perch (Perca fluviatilis) handfed in one of the outside ponds. 👉 By growing them outdoor we allow nature to help us achieve the finest quality fish. Keywater is where nature is 🐟 🌎 ☘

📣 Have you ever thought about freezing your fish wastewater? 👉in this way we allow it to slowly release the nutrients into our aquaponics unit as high levels of Ammonia can be harmful to plants and damage their roots system ⭐ All this thanks to ProjectSAFEeu

📣These redworms were fed with a mixture of duckweed and solids from fish wastewater and now we have sieved them to separate the substrate 👉They will now be used to prepare a specially formulated fish food with a low environmental impact ⭐All this thanks to ProjectSAFEeu

📣 Thanks to our brand new plant-SPA unit, our raspberries and strawberries can enjoy a relaxing experience while they grow! 👉 more seriously: everyone needs a second chance! Reusing is better than throwing away. Keywater is where nature is 🐟 🌎 ☘

📣 Delighted to receive the visit of Rachael Wilson from Ulster University 👉 She is part of our sister project AWARE which aims to create a new farm-to-fork value chain for European economic growth and urban KM 0 farming ⭐️Collaborations in action thanks to ProjectSAFEeu

📣 4 boxes with over 30 kg of frozen redworms fed exclusively on duckweed and fish sludge delivered to the Ryan Institute @ University of Galway 👉 Alex Wan will use them to prepare a special formulation of perch feed that will be tested next year ⭐ Good for the planet and the fish? ProjectSAFEeu
