Characterization of Aquaculture Effluents from Four Types of Production Systems

Duration:
-

Description

The first Wastes/Effluents Funded Project.  Chaired by Fred Binkowski.

Objectives:

  1. Characterize aquaculture effluents from four types of aquaculture productions systems: pond culture; flow-through culture (raceway); cage culture, and; recirculating systems.
