Great Grimsby looks to lead UK’s RAS revolution
Grimsby and the wider Humber region is synonymous with fish. It is home to most of the UK’s largest processing companies and manufactures around 80% of the country’s seafood. It’s also estimated the entire industry, including some 5,000 skilled workers, are within a 15-minute radius. But another string could soon be added to its bow, with plans unveiled by new firm AquaCultured Seafood Ltd (ASL) to build and operate a land-based recirculation aquaculture system (RAS) in the port town for the production of around 5,000 tonnes of Atlantic salmon.
