01 Feb The challenge of recirculation in claires
An oyster’s filtration capacity is indeed extraordinary: up to 0.2m3 / day.
To “feed” his livestock properly, the oyster farmer has two possible levers:
– The density lever: this allows the batch to “share” the food available locally.
– The lever of water movement: as oysters are not mobile animals, it’s the movement of water that provides them with a continuous supply of nutrients.
That’s why we developed Air-lifts and Paddle-wheels.
Air-lifts create vertical water movement while aerating the rearing water, thus stabilizing oxygen levels.
The paddle wheel is extremely efficient: with very little energy, it sets a large volume of water in motion, enabling an exchange between the rearing zone and the phytoplankton renewal zone.
These two systems, which consume the least energy on the market, are an ally for oyster beds in their quest for greater productivity.
