Aquaculture systems design

Aquaculture system design involves creating environments where aquatic organisms like fish, shellfish, or plants can be cultivated efficiently and sustainably. It includes planning water flow, filtration, aeration, and waste management to ensure healthy growth. Key considerations are water quality control, space optimization, disease prevention, and energy use. Proper design minimizes environmental impact, improves yield, and reduces costs. Engineers and biologists work together to develop systems such as tanks, ponds, or recirculating setups, tailored to the species and scale of production. Overall, it’s about creating a balanced, controlled ecosystem that supports the health of aquatic life and the needs of producers.
