Proprietary RAS – and How We’re Different

Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) are closed-loop systems that treat and reuse water to grow fish or shrimp on land.

They reduce environmental impact, improve biosecurity, and allow seafood to be produced close to the point of consumption.

But most RAS designs are generic – created for finfish and then adapted for shrimp. That’s where we’re different.

What Sets Three-Sixty Apart

Shrimp-specific by design

Our system is built from the ground up for shrimp, not retrofitted from fish farms

Patented tank geometry

Engineered to support shrimp behaviour, grading, and waste removal

Integrated technologies

Oxygenation, CO₂ stripping, and flow control tailored to shrimp needs

Commercial viability at scale

Designed not just to work, but to deliver strong unit economics

We believe shrimp farming deserves its own platform – not borrowed tech. Our system combines species-specific biology with scalable engineering to unlock the full potential of land-based shrimp production. Get in touch to see how it can work for your operation.

Nanobubble Technology Trial

In Partnership with 

We are trialling cutting-edge nanobubble technology from NanobOx at our R&D facility in Swansea to evaluate its impact on shrimp health, growth, and system efficiency.

Unlike traditional aeration systems that require high energy input, NanobOx technology delivers oxygen in the form of ultra-fine nanobubbles – increasing oxygen availability in the water while using significantly less power.

Key Benefits Under Evaluation

Enhanced oxygen transfer efficiency

Reduced energy consumption

Improved shrimp growth rates

Lower feed conversion ratios (FCR)

Potential for lower mortality and improved animal welfare

Early-stage data is promising. If performance continues, NanobOx could become a core component in our standard system offering – delivering real biological and commercial gains.

Sustainability Meets Cost Efficiency

At Three-Sixty Aquaculture, sustainability isn’t a marketing add-on – it’s built into the economics of our system.

By rethinking every part of the farm around shrimp biology and system efficiency, we’ve created a platform that delivers both lower environmental impact and stronger unit economics.

Lower Impact, Built-In

Closed-loop RAS

No discharge to the environment, minimal water use

No antibiotics

Clean, biosecure production

Lower carbon footprint

Farms located near market, not flown in from overseas

Energy-efficient systems

Nanobubble oxygenation and low-head circulation reduce power demand

Commercially Driven

Optimised stocking densities

Achieving high biomass per square metre

Reduced FCR

Feeding less, growing more

Modular scale-up

Lower capex per unit at scale

Designed for low opex

From pumping to grading, every element reduces cost

Sustainability and profitability don’t have to be trade-offs – and our system proves it. Let’s talk if you want to invest in aquaculture that works for both the planet and the bottom line.

Designed Around Shrimp Biology

Healthy shrimp grow faster, survive longer, and deliver better returns. That’s why every part of our system is engineered with shrimp biology at its core – not adapted from finfish RAS.

We’re not just growing shrimp – we’re giving them the conditions to thrive.

Result: higher survival, better feed conversion, faster growth, and healthier animals.

Biological Advantages of Our System

Optimal flow dynamics

Mimic natural swimming behaviour, reduce stress, and promote uniform growth

Self-cleaning tank geometry

Keeps waste suspended and removed efficiently, reducing pathogen build-up

Stable water parameters

Tight control of oxygen, CO₂, pH, and temperature to avoid stress events

Low-stress grading and harvesting

Gentle, integrated systems for minimal handling and better animal welfare

No antibiotics

Clean, biosecure environment eliminates the need for medication
