Recirculating Aquaculture Systems: Introduction to Components and Design Basics

Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS), There is a growing interest in recirculating aquaculture systems. Commercial scale RAS require substantial investment and high levels of management skill. For these systems to be profitable they often run at high intensity which often translates to high risk. Regardless of the scale of the system, the necessary system processes and components are often similar. Designing a system requires significant planning and should not be taken lightly. This webinar will provide a general overview, component selection options and functions including where and where to integrate specific pieces of equipment into an RAS design.
