Recirculating Aquaculture Tank Production Systems A Review of Current Design Practice

tion method when temperature, salinity, disease, water supply, land availability, or exotic species /environmental regulations prevent more cost effective alternatives. A recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) can also be used to support traditional pond or net pen culture through broodstock or fingerling production. Recirculating systems have been widely used in research laboratories and unive...

Back to the Roots: The Integration of a Constructed Wetland into a Recirculating Hatchery - A Case Study

Aquaculture is currently one of the fastest growing food-producing sectors, accounting for around 50% of the world's food fish. Limited resources, together with climatic change, have stimulated the search for solutions to support and sustain the production of fish as a nutritious food. The integration of a constructed wetland (CW) into a recirculating hatchery (RHS) was evaluated with respect t...

Economic Feasibility of Utilizing West Alabama Saline Groundwater to Produce Florida Pompano and Hybrid Striped Bass in a Recirculating Aquaculture System

An Empirical Investigation of the Interplay between Microcredit, Institutional Context and Entrepreneurial Capabilities

Understanding under which conditions microcredit is used by new, growing ventures, is becoming increasingly pertinent to scholars. This paper investigates the interplay of the use of microcredit with entrepreneurial capabilities and the moderating role of institutional development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Our findings show that higher constraints to entrepreneurial capabilities is associated with...

Research Article: The effect of media biofilter and aquatic plant (Ceratophyllum demersum) on water quality of recirculating aquaculture systems, growth and survival rates of ornamental fishes

This study was conducted in order to compare the hornwort aquatic plant (Ceratophyllum demersum) with an artificial filter for purification in a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS). At first, the fluctuation of nitrogen components of the water reuse system equipped with artificial filtration was evaluated. Experiments were performed during three months. The hornwort aquatic plant was collect...
