The In Pond Raceways System (IPRS) is an advanced approach to pond aquaculture that combines the management benefits of confining fish to a small portion of the pond with the production capacity of a water system. stream. IPRS creates a flowing "river in the pond" and allows water to mix and move as it would in a river system. This flowing water significantly increases the production potential of the pond. To create the flowing water, the IPRS uses components that, when combined, mix, and move the water in a circular pattern around a baffle in the pond, effectively recycling and cooling the water and preventing the download in the local environment. This system reduces production costs per unit, reduces risk and significantly improves performance.
IPRS operates simply and in harmony with nature to offer greater predictability and profit potential than conventionally operated ponds. IPRS technology offers the opportunity to double, or even triple, yields beyond the expectations of traditional ponds (up to 70-80 tons per hectare in tropical climates) without discharging water or waste into local waterways. IPRS
it is a more manageable and controllable approach that allows for high yields and reduced environmental impact. However, to achieve the expected success for the investment made, it must be executed following the principles and guides that are recommended by the creator experts.
Since the United States Soybean Export Council (USSEC) introduced IPRS to China in 2013, nearly 9,000 systems have been developed in 18 countries. This advanced, sustainable aquaculture production technology, based on principles and guidelines, is evolving throughout the world as a new alternative to increasing costs and improving profitability. Latin America also sees it as a great potential for sustainability, respectful of the environment. environment, more productive and profitable than traditional pond fish farming.
As consumer demand for aquaculture products continues to grow, the opportunity for soy grows as well. To support that growth, we believe a reliable raw material is necessary. And what is more consistent and reliable than the nutritional quality of American soybeans? As farmers search for new solutions to meet aquaculture demand, our support for sustainable and efficient farming practices that incorporate soybean-optimized diets is a critical investment. This technology fulfills our mission of collaboration, demand growth and education of the main benefits that American soybeans offer. We hope that all producers looking to start or expand an aquaculture operation have access to recommendations, research, and technologies that support their efforts. And we hope that US soybeans will be a natural choice for their aquaculture diets.
