| Project Description: |
| The project will design, construct and evaluate turn-key recirculating systems for marine fish and marine larval feeds production. In Year 1, this project will address the following objectives:
- Evaluate and improve the efficiency of inland marine fish broodstock recirculating filtration systems
- Design, construct & test the operational capabilities of large-scale marine fish larval, nursery recirculating filtration systems
- Design, construct and test live feeds recirculating filtration systems
- Document recirculating filtration system costs and
- Disseminate project results.
