CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE KNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE GROWTH TECHNOLOGY OF ONCORHYNCHUS MYKISS SPECIES IN RECIRCULATING AQUACULTURAL SYSTEM
Keywords:
recirculating aquacultural system, RAS components, growth technologyAbstract
A Recirculating Aquacultural System (RAS) can be defined as an aquacultural
system that incorporates the treatment and reuse of water with less than 10% of the
total water volume replaced per day and in which the environmental conditions are
being controlled. The concept of RAS is to reuse a volume of water through
continuous treatment. The research was made during 13.12.2006-13.04.2007 and it
took place in a home made bio-base. The main goal of this project was the
construction of a mini recirculating aquacultural system, a functional RAS for
rainbow trout and secondary to observe the evolution of rainbow trout in this
system.
