Assessment of a semi-closed, renewable resource-based aquaculture system, six-month progress report
This report combines theoretical studies on the nature of solar-driven, semi-closed aquatic ecosystems and their practical application for the culture of fishes. Solar and bio-technologies developed for raising fish cheaply, productively and on predominantly indigenous and low-quality feeds are being evaluated. Underlying the above is a research program to elucidate and model the biological enrichment process within the test facilities and their susceptibility to variations in solar and thermal conditions. The responses of the aquaculture facilities to high population densities, heavy feeding, the build-up of indigenous toxic metabolites and natural oscillations in light and thermal conditions are being monitored and modeled to determine the factors which limit solar-based aquaculture.
