Guiding Principles	Controlled environment: Bell's proprietary water recirculation and filtration system keeps its fish in a temperature-controlled and clean environment, which means healthier and cleaner fish. No toxins: Wild-caught fish must forage for food and eat what is available within environments that could contain pollutants. Bell Aquaculture fish are raised in pure, earth-filtered deep-well water and fed with specially formulated diets that ensure a high-quality product. Healthy growth: Bell has partnered with a major university and uses licensed technology for the production of fish. This means Bell Aquaculture has control of its yellow perch genetics. Bell carefully monitors the health of its fish and has access to the latest information about efficient and disease-free production of the species. Gentle to the environment: Bell does everything it can to ensure a positive impact on the environment. Fish are raised in indoor water recirculation systems using minimal amounts of water. Bell Aquaculture even recycles waste from its tanks for use as organic plant food.
