FTI Students innovate with RAS

Students in Diploma One and Two at Fisheries Training Institute (FTI) have achieved a remarkable milestone by developing a Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) for their aquaculture projects. This innovative system reflects their growing expertise in sustainable fish farming and highlights their commitment to addressing modern challenges in aquaculture.


The RAS model is designed to optimize water usage while creating a controlled environment for fish production. It recycles water through mechanical and biological filters, ensuring minimal wastage and improved water quality for aquaculture. This system is expected to boost productivity, reduce operational costs, and minimize environmental impact.

 

“We’re incredibly proud of our students for their creativity and hard work,” said Mr. JB Kakuru, a lecturer and mentor for the aquaculture students. “This project demonstrates their ability to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world challenges, positioning them as future leaders in the industry.”

 

FTI continues to encourage practical learning and innovation, ensuring that its graduates are well-prepared to contribute to the aquaculture sector with cutting-edge solutions.
