Havent confirmed this but I heard that Bedfordale Barramundi has closed up. Apparently couldnt make any money out of it which seems to be the norm with stand alone re-circ aquaculture systems these days. The large increases in electricity prices have pretty much taken away what little profit there was. |

Sorry, meant to add, that's a bugger. I never got any fish off him, but I did get to eat some of them ! Yep, RAS is a screaming contender for alternative energy sources. |

Haa, thought you might think that. I should still be around next year providing we get some decent rain. chillidude wrote: Yep, RAS is a screaming contender for alternative energy sources. Spot on there chilli. |

I would have thought that keeping Barra in Perth in a recirc system would be pretty close to impossible with most alternative power sources. |

Well yeah....  Anyway you look at it though you have to do a lot of heating to keep Barra in Perth.. Then there's the pumping.. I wonder how it works out with total energy costs if you look at growing Barra a little further north, then transporting them down here rather than trying to grow and heat them here...
