Recirculating Systems

StarStarStarStar

Closed-loop systems that filter and recycle water; advantages include reduced water usage and the ability to control environmental conditions.

StarStarStarStar

Vertical Aquaculture Systems

StarStarStarStar

Stacked units to utilize vertical space; advantages include high production density and suitability for urban environments.

StarStarStarStar

Cage Systems

StarStarStarStar

Floating cages or net pens in natural water bodies; advantages include the ease of managing stock and lower feed costs due to natural food sources.

StarStarStarStar

Biofloc Systems

StarStarStarStar

Aquaculture systems that recycle waste by converting it into microbial biomass; advantages include improved water quality and reduced need for water exchange.

StarStarStarStar

Submersible Cage Systems

StarStarStarStar

Cages submerged below the water surface; advantages include protection from surface weather and reduced visibility from predators.

StarStarStarStar

Rack & Trough Systems

StarStarStarStar

Aquaculture that uses stacked troughs or racks; advantages include space efficiency and ease of harvest.

StarStarStarStar

Off-Bottom Culture

StarStarStarStar

Cultivation of shellfish on racks, trays, or mesh bags above the sea floor; advantages include reduced predation and disease.

StarStarStarStar

Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture (IMTA)

StarStarStarStar

Culturing different species from various trophic levels together; advantages include waste recycling and improved environmental sustainability.

StarStarStarStar

Pond Systems

StarStarStarStar

Natural or artificial bodies of water used for cultivation; advantages include low construction and maintenance costs.

StarStarStarStar

Partitioned Aquaculture Systems

StarStarStarStar

Systems that segregate fish based on size or species; advantages include reduced aggression and competition for food.

StarStarStarStar

Flow-Through Systems

StarStarStarStar

Systems using a constant flow of water; advantages include natural temperature and water quality control and ease of managing waste products.

StarStarStarStar

Aquaponics

StarStarStarStar

Combination of aquaculture with hydroponics; advantages include waste use as plant nutrients and reduced water requirement.

StarStarStarStar

Raceway Systems

StarStarStarStar

Flow-through channels with continuous water exchange; advantages include simplicity and efficiency in waste removal.

StarStarStarStar

Open Ocean Systems

StarStarStarStar

Cultivation in offshore environments; advantages include vast space and clean water which can lead to healthier stock.

StarStarStarStar

Polyculture Systems

StarStarStarStar

Culturing multiple species together; advantages include higher productivity and efficient resource utilization.
