Shrimp cultivation in Indonesia is now facing an era of technological revolution with the introduction of the latest cultivation system using the Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS). FisTx, one of the aquaculture technology startups that has brought this innovative technology to Indonesia, has changed the paradigm of farmers in supporting the productivity and sustainability of shrimp cultivation.

Through RAS, farmers can utilize water efficiently and reduce the use of chemicals that have the potential to damage the environment. This system allows pool water to be filtered continuously without having to replace it regularly, keeping the water quality optimal at all times. Apart from that, the use of RAS technology also minimizes the risk of shrimp dying prematurely, which is often a major problem in shrimp farming.

By adopting RAS technology, farmers not only gain economic benefits from increasing crop yields, but also maintain the sustainability of the environment around the pond. This is in line with global efforts to promote environmentally friendly and sustainable cultivation. Thus, the introduction of RAS by FisTx is not only an important milestone in the Indonesian aquaculture industry, but also a significant step towards more efficient and environmentally responsible shrimp farming.

Paradigm change in shrimp farming

As a country with a rapidly developing fishing industry, Indonesia has great potential in shrimp cultivation. However, challenges such as pond management, operations, construction and nature often become obstacles in achieving optimal productivity. Various risks such as premature death of shrimp and excessive use of chemicals have become problems that affect the efficiency and sustainability of this industry.

FisTx comes with a revolutionary solution through the introduction of RAS technology. This concept, which is similar to aquarium management, allows farmers to use water sustainably without having to replace it regularly. Pool water is not thrown away, but is filtered continuously through a filtration system developed by FisTx. This not only maintains optimal water quality, but also saves water usage and water replacement costs significantly.

The use of RAS technology has a positive impact in responding to the challenges faced by shrimp farmers. By minimizing the use of chemicals and maximizing the use of water, this technology not only increases the operational efficiency of farmers, but also keeps the environment around the pond healthy. As a result, the shrimp farming industry in Indonesia can face a brighter future, with higher productivity and less environmental impact.
