Here’s a great graphic folks can use to show the water savings of protein from fish in RAS vs other animal proteins.

Nice picture, but not true unfortunately. 1kg wheat which is the least waterintensive ingredient of fishfood requires around 1500 liters of water to produce (double that for soybean, corn, rice). You need more than 1 kg of fishfood to produce 1 kg fish meat in RAS. So in general that value is much closer to chicken.
