RASTECH 2025 is an international conference and trade show for RAS technology owners and operators. Whether it’s raising fish juveniles, growing larger smolt, or producing harvest-size fish, RAS technology continues to lead the way in expanding the global aquaculture industry. Events like this provide a platform where RAS technicians can learn about the latest industry technologies from notable companies.

“As demand in the aquaculture industry expands, we are proud to host our signature event, RASTECH 2025. RASTECH brings together the brightest minds in the industry—innovators, experts, and businesses—to share ideas, make connections, and have real conversations about the latest breakthroughs and what’s next for the future of RAS technology,” said Anne Beswick, group publisher of RAStech.

On the first day of the event, Yosuke Kurihara from ARK Inc., Sara Rademaker of American Unagi and Thorsten Vammen from FREA will give a keynote on “Big or small? Finding the right size for profitability,” a discussion on exploring models for profitability at different production scales.

“I’m excited for RASTECH 2025, especially as it marks our first time hosting the event on the West Coast. It’s shaping up to be another excellent networking event for the land-based aquaculture industry. Great to also see a resurgence of investments being made in the sector,” said Jeremy Thain, associate publisher, RAStech.

RASTECH 2025 dives into key topics across business, research, technology, and biology—plus, new this year, a roundtable discussion led by the Aquaculture Engineering Society.

“Ultra Aqua greatly benefits every time it exhibits at the RASTECH event. The conference is great for networking with global RAS professionals who are advancing the sector. RASTECH is a way for us to find new customers and grow existing relationships in a relaxed, fun environment. It’s one of my favorite events every year,” said Jens Skjølstrup, CEO, ULTRA AQUA A/S, in a testimonial.

RASTECH 2025 will take place at Town & Country Resort, 500 Hotel Circle North, San Diego, from June 9-10. Find more information here.
