Recirculating Systems
Closed-loop systems that filter and recycle water; advantages include reduced water usage and the ability to control environmental conditions.
Vertical Aquaculture Systems
Stacked units to utilize vertical space; advantages include high production density and suitability for urban environments.
Cage Systems
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.
Biofloc Systems
Aquaculture systems that recycle waste by converting it into microbial biomass; advantages include improved water quality and reduced need for water exchange.
Submersible Cage Systems
Cages submerged below the water surface; advantages include protection from surface weather and reduced visibility from predators.
Rack & Trough Systems
Aquaculture that uses stacked troughs or racks; advantages include space efficiency and ease of harvest.
Off-Bottom Culture
Cultivation of shellfish on racks, trays, or mesh bags above the sea floor; advantages include reduced predation and disease.
Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture (IMTA)
Culturing different species from various trophic levels together; advantages include waste recycling and improved environmental sustainability.
Pond Systems
Natural or artificial bodies of water used for cultivation; advantages include low construction and maintenance costs.
Partitioned Aquaculture Systems
Systems that segregate fish based on size or species; advantages include reduced aggression and competition for food.
Flow-Through Systems
Systems using a constant flow of water; advantages include natural temperature and water quality control and ease of managing waste products.
Aquaponics
Combination of aquaculture with hydroponics; advantages include waste use as plant nutrients and reduced water requirement.
Raceway Systems
Flow-through channels with continuous water exchange; advantages include simplicity and efficiency in waste removal.
Open Ocean Systems
Cultivation in offshore environments; advantages include vast space and clean water which can lead to healthier stock.
Polyculture Systems
Culturing multiple species together; advantages include higher productivity and efficient resource utilization.
