Start-up guide for recirculating integrated aquaponic systems

Aquaculture production systems and technological facilities can be classified based on a multitude of aspects, of a technic, technological and ecological nature. The industrial aquaculture activity operational management differs mainly depending on the production system that is being used. Suspended solids removal represents a primary objective in the design of water treatment schemes within recirculating systems. Numerous organic particles that can be found in the rearing environment strongly influence the noxious substances content and the oxygen content, leading to serious diseases of the biological material within the rearing systems, especially in the case of those with a high level of water reuse.
