Closed-system aquaculture presents a new and expanding commercial opportunity; however, presently there are few profitable commercial operations. Intensive aquaculture systems require a sufficient supply of oxygen and nutrients in temperaturecontrolled water with a means of removing wastes from the system. In properly controlled recirculating aquaculture systems, stocking rates of up to one-hal...

nitrification rate of biofilters is influenced by ammonia concentration and levels of ammonia vary in response to feeding time. on the other hand, existence and activity of different groups of bacteria can be expected in the biofilters. hence in this research, nitrification dynamic of biofilters during day hours and also rules of different biofilteration process (nitrification, denitrification ...

limitation of water resources and necessity in profitable production, and consequentlyproductivity enhancement has taken crop production by means of unconventional water into consideration. inthis study, the effect of different levels of zeolite and nitrifying bacteria were investigated on nitrogenouscompounds absorption in a closed system of carp breeding with alfalfa. treatments of zeolites a...

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...

Aquaponics is the science of integrating intensive fish aquaculture with plant production in recirculating water systems. Although ion waste production by f ish cannot satisfy all plant requirements, less is known about the relationship between total feed provided for f ish and the production of milliequivalents (mEq) of different macronutrients for plants, especially for nutrient flow hydropon...

Aquaculture, the farming of fish and aquatic crops such as kelp and algae, is classically done in natural bodies of water. In land-based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), however, tanks or raceways contain the farmed species and the water is circulated through a treatment system. Benefits compared to traditional farming in open cages include reduced emissions of nutrients, less risk of i...

Biological water filtration is a process by which toxic compounds are removed from using organisms. A well-sized biological filter extremely important as part of recirculating aquaculture system for fish farming. equipment in recycling systems technological set that restores the vital qualities wastewater ponds, thus allowing its reuse
