Specifically the smaller footprint recirculating systems.
While you take a look at this I shall make enquiries on portfolio investment opportunities.

Rabobank: why the tide is turning in favour of RAS production
The increased adoption of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) “will disrupt aquaculture trade flows, the supply chain and the marketing of salmon within the next decade.
So predicts Beyhan de Jong in a new report from Rabobank, published today, on the promising prospects of RAS production.

“We see the tide turning for recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and see potential for this emerging technology to change the aquaculture game over the next decade,” asserts de Jong at the start of the report.

We have a certain respect for Rabobank in the agriculture biz and have mentioned it for years.

Rabobank: "World Vegetable Map 2018"
Over the years we've found Rabo to rank among the sharper (read: more accurate in forecasts) analysts in the food and agtech sectors.
Plus, we've never seen something out of the Dutch behemoth to match this from "The great global avocado trade flow chart":
Correction: An earlier version of this item incorrectly described all the avocados exported by the Netherlands as having been grown there....
No sir, Rabobank knows the sourcing of their avocado toast.
That's from 2016. our praise goes back much further, they're pretty good at this stuff.
