Development of the technology for intensive culture of Phase-III red drum in a prototype zero-discharge recirculating system. Final report.

Abstract

This report describes activities of a project where two trials were conducted in Mote's zero-discharge recirculating red drum fingerling prototype production system. The trials conducted in this system were designed to evaluate red drum growth, survival, husbandry requirements, and system operational capabilities. Each trial provided vital information needed to evaluate performance of the prototype system and determine the husbandry requirements of red drum in high density recirculating systems.
