The challenge to designers of recirculating systems is to maximize production capacity per dollar of capital invested. Management of Recirculating Systems [Image: Management of Recirculating Systems] Recirculating systems are mechanically sophisticated and biologically complex. Management of these systems takes education, expertise and dedication. This publication addresses the problems of managing such a system so that producers can make informed decisions. Recirculating Aquaculture Tank Production Systems: Overview [Image: Overview Recirculating Aquaculture] Recirculating aquaculture production systems may offer an alternative to pond aquaculture technology. Through water treatment and reuse, recirculating systems use a fraction of the water and land required by ponds to produce similar yields. Greenhouse Tilapia Production in Louisiana [Image: Greenhouse Tilapia Production in Louisiana] Information on recirculating production systems, fingerling sources, stocking and harvest management, regulatory considerations, economics and markets are included in this publication.  more articles... Integrating Fish and Plant Culture [Image: Integrating Fish and Plant Culture] Recirculating aquaculture systems can handle large quantities of fish in relatively small volumes of water. The water is reused after its treated to remove toxic waste products. Plants are an ideal secondary crop in integrated systems because they respond to the high levels of dissolved nutrients generated from the microbial breakdown of fish wastes. (PDF Format Only) The Economics of Recirculating Tank Systems [Image: A Spreadsheet for Individual Analysis] A well-designed recirculating aquaculture system offers a number of advantages over pond systems. This publication and accompanying spreadsheet are designed to help prospective recirculating system operators examine the economics of proposed systems.
