Microcontrollers in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems

P. Fowler, D. Baird, R. Bucklin, S. Yerlan, C. Watson and F. Chapman


Opening Paragraph:
Closed-system aquaculture presents a new and expanding commercial opportunity; however, presently there are few profitable commercial operations. Intensive aquaculture systems require a sufficient supply of oxygen and nutrients in temperature-controlled water with a means of removing wastes from the system. In properly controlled recirculating aquaculture systems, stocking rates of up to one-half pound of fish per gallon of water can be obtained. However, since failure of any component can cause catastrophic losses within a short period of time, the system must be reliable and constantly monitored. Thus, precise measurements and controls are necessary for the success of an intensive recirculating aquaculture system.

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.
