  2. Recirculating aquaculture system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recirculating_aquaculture...

    Reoxygenating the system water is a crucial part to obtaining high production densities. Fish require oxygen to metabolize food and grow, as do bacteria communities in the biofilter. Dissolved oxygen levels can be increased through two methods, aeration and oxygenation. In aeration air is pumped through an air stone or similar device that ...

  3. Aquaponics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaponics

    Fish and other aquatic animals are the primary consumers in an aquaponic system, providing a source of protein and nutrients for the plants. A variety of fish species can be used in aquaponic systems, including tilapia, goldfish, and koi. Fish help to fertilize the plants by producing 'waste' that is rich in nutrients

  4. Aquaculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaculture

    Fish do not actually produce omega-3 fatty acids, but instead accumulate them from either consuming microalgae that produce these fatty acids, as is the case with forage fish like herring and sardines, or, as is the case with fatty predatory fish, like salmon, by eating prey fish that have accumulated omega-3 fatty acids from microalgae.

  5. Raceway (aquaculture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raceway_(aquaculture)

    Trout do best in spring water because it keeps a constant temperature, while catfish need a strong flow, about 80 litres per second for every 0.4 hectares of raceway. A backup water supply should be positioned so, if the water supply or pump fails, it can flow by gravity into the start of the raceway. [16]

  6. Commercial fish feed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_fish_feed

    In the current technology, fish feed extruders play a key role in production lines. Although the majority of the process of the fish feed production occurs in the extruder, grinding and mixing can highly affect the quality of the final product. [14] Water is added and the resulting paste is extruded through holes in a metal plate. The diameter ...

  7. Offshore aquaculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_aquaculture

    Offshore aquaculture, also known as open water aquaculture or open ocean aquaculture, is an emerging approach to mariculture (seawater aquafarming) where fish farms are positioned in deeper and less sheltered waters some distance away from the coast, where the cultivated fish stocks are exposed to more naturalistic living conditions with ...

  8. Saltwater aquaponics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltwater_aquaponics

    Saltwater aquaponics (also known as marine aquaponics) is a combination of plant cultivation and fish rearing (also called aquaculture), systems with similarities to standard aquaponics, except that it uses saltwater instead of the more commonly used freshwater.

  9. Fish farming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_farming

    Fish farming or pisciculture involves commercial breeding of fish, most often for food, in fish tanks or artificial enclosures such as fish ponds. It is a particular type of aquaculture , which is the controlled cultivation and harvesting of aquatic animals such as fish, crustaceans , molluscs and so on, in natural or pseudo-natural environments.
