Aquaculture Farm Manager Question: Download Aquaculture Farm Manager PDF
I have tried Barramundi and it's an excellent product. It's also one of the few fish farmed in enclosed tanks, which are better for the environment. Why aren't there more of these in existence?
Answer:
Land based systems are very costly to operate because of the use of sophisticated machinery and also because large amounts of water have to be heated/chilled, pumped, filtered, etc. This can be very costly, which makes construction and operation of these kinds of systems challenging from an economic perspective. That said, there are people doing it for freshwater and saltwater fish and shrimp, so it's definitely possible.
