Australia Aquaculture Technology has done a great job taking on a challenging pond/pump system and making the very best of it. With innovative ideas to use nature rather than chemicals, they have made complaint calls.
System Planning
When planning a system there are several factors to consider, what is the optimal temperature range for the species you have chosen to grow, What size fish will you grow, is the species cannibalistic, will you sell Live Fish, whole Chilled fish, fillets, Distance to market, availability of good water and power supply, a power back-up system.
System Design
A system needs to be designed once you know the answers to the points in system planning.
Species Selection
Not all fish lend themselves to intensive culture; to ensure a successful experience in Aquaculture the species of choice must have the right balance. Quick Growth, Market Price, seed-stock availability, tolerate high stocking density, Robust, they also need to be approachable and not stressed by human interaction.
System Efficiency
Running costs in Recirculating systems can be high, A system should be designed to use as little power as possible to achieve good water turnover rates, stocking density, one also has to ensure ease of harvest.
When we consider Return on Investment the cost of production is where many loss site of the end goal which is to be viable and profitable, an intensive fish production system is not an aquarium and needs to efficiently deal with high stocking density and high feed rates, keeping in mind you cannot sell high stocking density you can on sell kilos of fish produced, poor water quality is the main issue in any fish production having a system that allows easy control over the environment is the key. The 3 most important rules for food production are Control, Control, Control.
Building Design
To install our system to produce min 60,000 kg per year the building size needs to be 3000 square meters.
60-meter-long and 50-meter-wide and 3.5-meter-high, needs to have insulated panels and concrete floor to hold 312 ton.
Building design specification will be issued once contract has been sign
This would hold a 24-tank system; each tank would hold 100,000 litre of water. Each tank would produce 1733.5 kg fish every 6 month meaning about 3467 kg per 12 months. Depending on species grown.
The system would use fresh water and again depending on fish species wanting to grow.
