Hatchery systems are designed around vulnerability. Eggs and fry produce relatively little waste compared to market-size fish, but they&#8217;re far more susceptible to the consequences of poor water quality. Elevated ammonia at levels that an adult fish tolerates can be lethal to larvae. Fine suspended solids can coat eggs and reduce hatch rates. Pathogen exposure during incubation can devastate a cohort before it ever reaches the nursery tank.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">That means hatchery equipment has to deliver a level of water quality precision that most general aquaculture filtration systems aren&#8217;t optimized for. Filtration needs to be fine enough to capture small particulates, biologically active enough to keep ammonia and nitrite near zero, and paired with effective disinfection \u2014 all while operating gently enough that delicate eggs and larvae aren&#8217;t damaged by excessive flow or turbulence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">AST&#8217;s bead filter technology meets these requirements in a single unit. The enhanced bead media captures solids down to fine particle sizes while simultaneously supporting the nitrifying bacteria that convert ammonia to nitrate. Paired with UV disinfection, the result is a compact water treatment loop purpose-built for RAS hatchery environments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>The INCUBRAS \u2014 A Complete RAS Hatchery System<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">For operations that need a turnkey hatchery solution, AST and MAP Aqua jointly developed the INCUBRAS: a fully integrated, closed-loop RAS hatchery system designed for egg incubation through fry absorption.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The INCUBRAS supports up to twelve 6.9-liter McDonald hatching jars in a recirculating format, filtered by a patented Bubble Bead\u00ae bio-clarifier that handles both solids capture and biofiltration. A low-energy 1\/8 hp pump circulates water through 40-watt UV disinfection, turning over the entire system volume roughly every eight minutes. Fry discharge into removable catch basins for the yolk-sac absorption stage, and the whole unit operates with a backwash interval of approximately once per week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">What makes the INCUBRAS particularly well-suited for hatchery programs is its biosecurity design. Each cohort of eggs is disinfected on entry, creating a &#8220;firewall&#8221; that prevents vertical disease transmission \u2014 a critical consideration for conservation hatcheries and broodstock programs managing wild-origin genetics. The system is also modular and collapsible, so it can be relocated or scaled up as production needs change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Capacity:<\/strong> 500,000 to 1 million eggs per week in a 220-gallon total system volume.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjY5NjMifX0=@&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Learn more about the INCUBRAS system&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;button_url&#8221; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;margin: auto;&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/astfilters.com\/aquatic-systems\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/03\/incubras-system-updated.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;incubras-system-updated&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;80px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_testimonial quote_icon_color=&#8221;gcid-d60ab2b0-6934-45e6-92a7-e96017b73170&#8243; quote_icon_background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; use_icon_font_size=&#8221;on&#8221; icon_font_size=&#8221;64px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; author_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; background_color=&#8221;gcid-a3f402e7-f4aa-4b4a-a6b8-25d3cf44cccd&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;70px||30px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-d60ab2b0-6934-45e6-92a7-e96017b73170%22:%91%22quote_icon_color%22%93,%22gcid-a3f402e7-f4aa-4b4a-a6b8-25d3cf44cccd%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; color: #4c93bf;\"><em>&#8220;[AST] Filters are simple, but very effective.

Eggs and larvae can&#8217;t tolerate the ammonia spikes, fine particulate loads, or temperature swings that older fish can survive. A momentary lapse in filtration at this stage doesn&#8217;t just stress your stock \u2014 it can wipe out an entire cohort. AST designs and manufactures fish hatchery systems that deliver the consistent, high-quality water these early life stages demand. From egg incubation through yolk-sac absorption and into fingerling grow-out, our hatchery equipment provides reliable solids removal, biofiltration, and disinfection in compact, low-maintenance packages built for daily hatchery operations. Large aquaculture facility utilizing multiple Propeller Bead Filters.Red drum broodstock facility utilizing a PolyGeyser filter. Why Hatchery Filtration Is Different Commercial grow-out systems are designed around feed load and biomass. Hatchery systems are designed around vulnerability. Eggs and fry produce relatively little waste compared to market-size fish, but they&#8217;re far more susceptible to the consequences of poor water quality. Elevated ammonia at levels that an adult fish tolerates can be lethal to larvae. Fine suspended solids can coat eggs and reduce hatch rates.
