| Project Description: |
| The project will design, construct and evaluate turn-key recirculating systems for marine fish and marine larval feeds production. In Year 2, this project will address the following objectives:
- Evaluate and improve the efficiency of large-scale marine fish larval and nursery recirculating filtration systems,
- Evaluate and improve the efficiency of live feeds recirculating filtration systems,
- Design, construct and test the operational capabilities of marine fish fingerling and growout recirculating filtration systems,
- Identify containment, utilization, and breakdown strategies for the salty sludge produced through filtration,
- Document recirculating filtration system costs, and
- Disseminate project results.
