New technologies for sustainable commercial finfish culture

We have demonstrated that yields of 10 tonnes of fish per hectare cannot be sustainably achieved in static, autotrophic saline (14 ppt) ponds (i.e. ponds dominated by photosynthetic organisms) over a 3-4 month production cycle, despite the removal of settable wastes from the SIFTS. The outcome of...
