Recirculating Aquaculture Tank Production Systems

Integrating Fish and Plant Culture

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Southern Regional Aquaculture Center

Creation date: November 1992

Recirculating aquaculture systems are designed to raise large quantities of fish in relatively small volumes of water by treating the water to remove toxic waste products and then reusing it. In the process of reusing the water many times, non-toxic nutrients and organic matter accumulate. These metabolic by- products need not be wasted if they are channeled into secondary crops that have economic value or in some way benefit the primary production system. Systems that grow additional crops by utilizing by-products from the production of the primary species are referred to as integrated systems.
