Keywater Fisheries

📌 Keywater Fisheries: Where Aquaculture Meets Agriculture 📅 17th October 2024 from 6.30 - 7.30 pm 📍 Boyle Library (Boyle, Co. Roscommon) ⭐ This session is free and all are welcome An informative session not to be missed!

📣 4 boxes with over 30 kg of frozen redworms fed exclusively on duckweed and fish sludge delivered to the @RyanInstitute 👉 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

📣 Delighted to receive the visit of Rachael Wilson from @UlsterUni 👉 She is part of our sister project @Aware_europe 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

📣 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 🐟 🌎 ☘

📣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

📣 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

📣 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 🐟 🌎 ☘

@BlueBioeconomy @projectsafeeu Thank you @BlueBioeconomy for this!

🌱🐟 Exciting times @KeywaterF ! They’re growing veggies without soil using plastic media & fish wastewater as fertilizer. It means: ✅ Lower disease risk 💧 Less water usage 🚫 No chemicals/pesticides 👉 Follow @projectsafeeu for more! 🌎☘ #bluebioeconomyireland

📢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

📣 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

📣 At Keywater we reduce the footprint by turning the fish wastewater into edible plants Take a look at the 3 week growth rate we achieved in our aquaponics greenhouse👇 This win-win approach is good for the environment the farmers🐟 🌍 ☘ More? Follow us 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

@BoltonWarberg @projectsafeeu Nice idea the cucumbers one! beer or not to beer you are always welcome @BoltonWarberg!

@KeywaterF @projectsafeeu Now for some cucumbers and you could have some fancy sandwiches!!! Looks great - and I'm long overdue visiting. Any of that perch farmer beer still being brewed?!

📢📢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 👇

📢📢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

📢📢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🐟🌱🍻

📢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 🐟🌍🌱

📢📢 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 🌱🌍🐟

📢📢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 🐟🌍🌱
