Heat Pump for Heating and Cooling Water for Aquacultural Production

C.D. Baird, R. A. Bucklin, C.A. Watson and F. A. Chapman


Opening Paragraph:
Aquaculture, a significant industry in Florida, includes the production of ornamental fish, catfish, alligators, oysters, and other aquatic species. The largest portion of aquaculture sales comes from ornamental fish produced primarily in open ponds. Fish are also held and produced in buildings and greenhouses, which often employ flow-through water systems. These systems require large quantities of water and do not provide optimum growing conditions; the energy required to heat these buildings during the winter represents a major production cost.

Aquaculture bio-filters and aquarium biofilters are biological filters. Fish farms and garden ponds use filters. Freshwater filters and saltwater filters use the same biological filters as biofiltration systems. Biofilters use bacteria to filter water. QuikSand filters are biological filters. Marine, reef, fresh, salt, tropical fish, bait, bass, catfish, coral, crawfish, koi, lobster, prawn, shrimp, trout and salmon all need water bio filters for biological filtration.
