Funded Project #2 - Aquaculture Wastes and Effluents
(funded project 2)
Description
The second Wastes/Effluents Funded Project. Chaired
by Fred Binkowski.
1. Study and evaluate solid waste management by:
a. describing the relevant physical characteristics of
fecal material from fish fed commonly used commercial
feeds,
b. developing diets to maximize integrity of fecal
pellets without loss of fish performance and compare the
physical characteristics of these pellets to those in
subobjective a, and
c. developing operational and engineering solutions to
minimize destruction of larger particles and to remove all
particulates.
2. Develop a report that:
a. Describes the potential benefits of aquaculture
by-products (effluents and solids) in the context of
Integrated Resource Management and Sustainable
Development.
b. Characterizes the difference between the aquaculture
discharges and other agricultural and industrial
discharges, and
c. Identify case studies of previous controversies
highlighting real versus perceived impacts of
aquaculture.
