Types of systems
• Cage
• Raceway
• Pond
• Recirculating Tanks

Cage
• Can move cage to fresh water
• Fish can escape
• Fish can be stolen/released

Raceway
• Need constant flow of water
• Generally built parallel to rivers
• Necessary for trout
• High water quality

Pond
• Most common method
• Large scale production
• Lowest maintenance

Recirculating tanks
• Uses least amount of water
• Best Temperature control
• Lowest water quality
![Page 7: Aquaculture systems](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102815/5552d319b4c905920f8b55cc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Recirculating Tanks
• Main Tank
• Bio Filters
• Sediment Tank
• Pumps
• Water in/out control

Main Tank
• Holds fish
• Creates circular water pattern
• Collects from the bottom
• Removes Sediment/waste

Biofilter
• Plastic substrate that bacteria can cling to.
• Bacteria convert toxic ammonia (NH3) in fish waste to nitrite (NO2) and then nitrate (NO3) which is least toxic.

Biofilter
• Bacteria (Nitrosomonas & Nitrobacter) cling to plastic discs
• Aerobic Bacteria• Bacteria control the Ammonia• Takes 2-4 weeks for colonization
• Ammonia →Nitrite →Nitrate• NH3 & NH4
+ →NO2 →NO3
• Most toxic → Least toxic

Sediment Tank
• Has a cone shaped bottom
• Non-soluble solids settle out
• Soluble solids – give the water a brown color – need special filters

Sand filter
• Removes solids
• Sand clogs quickly
• Must backwash daily
• Residue build-up– No longer functional

Aerators
• Keep the water circulating
• Keep oxygen in the water so fish do not suffocate.

Equipment
• Seines – nets with predetermined opening sizes to catch or hold only fish larger than a specific size
