Independently Published Recirculating Aquaculture Systems: A Guide to Farm Design and Operations

Clear and knowledgable account of all water treatment needs. First half cover wall water composition needs; from removing solids, maintaining nutrient levels, stripping carbon dioxide, adding oxygen, and the machinery options you have in each case with pros and cons. The second half, I haven’t yet got onto, covers pumping, heating, lighting, purging, and maintenance. I’m enjoying it, reading the book cover to back and will go back through when drawing up an outline of my setup.

I bought this among a few books on aquaculture. Most of the books resemble family homesteading blogs rather than educational textbooks or business resources, but this is a solid source of information for someone who's serious about medium to large-scale aquaculture. The explanations provided could be longer, there a few editing errors, and there could be more and better visual aids, but major topics are introduced and covered with enough detail that further research into more advanced resources will easily be understood.

good info if you want to start a farm
