Aquaculture

Having a market for fish that are produced is a prime consideration when:

• assessing the fish lab space and needs for the operation.

• dealing with a bank for a loan.

• deciding on the species of fish to grow.

• determining the size of the aquaculture facility.

Watershed ponds and levees are the primary facilities used to produce:

• aquaculture crops.

• aquaponic crops.

• lily pads.

• tadpoles.

When one is establishing an aquaculture operation, the need for more time to develop markets for the aquaculture products is the main reason to:

• begin with multiple production facilities.

• develop long-range expansion goals.

• invest heavily in the operation.

• start with a small operation.

The factor that will have the most impact on the successful operation of an aquaculture facility is:

• feed additives.

• funding level.

• water quality.

• worker experience.

Two of the least successful types of aquaculture facilities for large-scale fish production are:

• cages and levee ponds.

• raceways and watershed ponds.

• recirculating systems and cages.

• watershed ponds and cages.

Being too close to public waters or in a wetland may prevent construction of an aquaculture facility because of:

• boating guidelines.

• housing regulations.

• safety issues.

• zoning laws.
