Incredible Tour of a world class Arctic Char production facility

Today we go behind the scenes for a tour of the incredible Ridgeland Aqua Farm located in South Eastern Manitoba, Canada.
The Ridgeland Aqua Farm is a world class sustainable Arctic Char Aquaculture facility that produces a quarter million market size fish a year for the retail and commercial markets.
From spawn to hatching the eggs, rearing the fry all the way to adulthood as well as a full modern Canadian Food Inspection Agency registered processing facility. The Ridgeland Aqua Farm produces a 100% natural, fresh, made to order Farm to Table product rich in functional Omega-3's.
This operation is the only one of its kind in Canada and is truly a sight to see.
So join me today as we take a tour of the one and only Ridgeway Aqua Farm.
Thank you to Peter David Waldner of the Ridgeland Aqua Farm for taking the time to show us their incredible facility.
Please check out Rachel's Video from a few years ago of the old facility as well as the beginnings of the new one here:

This is amazing. I had no idea we had a facility like this in Manitoba.

[@themadaquarist]

It’s really incredible

[@geofishdude9488]

Really cool to see how large scale facility clean their water. Pretty neat to learn how the remove all those tiny bones too lol

[@DolbecAqua]

Very impressive farm! This is aquaculture done the right way. I'd be curious to talk with their vet and see how they manage the population for diseases

[@waldnerpeter7173]

We don’t have/need a vet. In all our 17 years of farming fish we never had any serious issues. Give the fish what they want they will do great.

[@isobuddies]

First off, that's way too cold. And you're way too bald for that cold.
Second off, I LOVE THIS CONTENT. Seeing how a facility like this one runs, and seeing that they put time and effort into hydroponics as well... wow. Nice job, Biggs!

Cool facility. Does Peter still breed guppies too. I want to see his guppy room. He was breeding some really nice ones before

[@themadaquarist]

He is a world renowned guppy breeder but the pandemic has posed a ton of challenges so we haven’t done that video yet

[@siewmj1]

What temperature range do arctic char strive in ras ?

[@siewmj1]

How do arctic char taste like

[@liamwalters5029]

Hat hat hat

[@themadaquarist]

ummmmmmmmmm.......?

[@johnscoggins5696]

Arctic Char isn't a particularly tasteful fish. I don't understand why anyone would risk so much capital on a hatchery.

[@themadaquarist]

They’ve been growing every single year in sales by leaps and bounds

[@frozenpicklechips2404]

Are you kidding me? Arctic Char is amazing caught wild, full of soft flavours and not harsh like the salmon aftertaste. Beautiful in a chowder.
