The fish production system is housed in a 39.6 m long by 9.75 m wide barn structure located on the campus of North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. Fish production activities began in the spring of 1998. The facility is designed to produce 45 tonnes of fish annually, with the first crop being tilapia. The project is being operated as a public demonstration of this technology, with biological, engineering and economic data being collected by research and extension personnel at North Carolina State University. This paper outlines the design of the recirculating system technology used to recycle water through the main fish production tanks.}, number={1-2}, journal={AQUACULTURAL ENGINEERING}, author={Losordo, TM and Hobbs, AO and DeLong, DP}, year={2000}, month={May}, pages={3–16} } @article{losordo_hobbs_2000, title={Using computer spreadsheets for water flow and biofilter sizing in recirculating aquaculture production systems}, volume={23}, ISSN={["0144-8609"]}, DOI={10.1016/S0144-8609(00)00048-0}, abstractNote={North Carolina State University has been active in the development, evaluation and demonstration of recirculating aquaculture technology since 1989. In the process, numerous engineering and economic spreadsheets (worksheets) have been developed to assist in the design and analysis of these systems. The spreadsheet described in this paper is based on a set of mass balance equations developed and described by Losordo and Westers (Vol. 27, 1994 pp. 9–60) to estimate the carrying capacity and required flow rates of recirculating aquaculture production systems. This spreadsheet can be used to estimate the recycle flowrate that is required to maintain user specified water quality conditions for a given feed input rate and water treatment system configuration. These water quality conditions include suspended solids, total ammonia-nitrogen, and dissolved oxygen concentration. The spreadsheet also provides an estimate of the new water required by the system to maintain a user specified nitrate-nitrogen concentration. In addition, the spreadsheet provides an estimate of the required biofilter volume and cross-sectional (top) surface area for the given biofilter shape, depth and specific surface area of the biofilter media. The mass balance equations used in this spreadsheet are based upon waste metabolites generated and oxygen consumed by daily inputs of feed into a system.}, number={1-3}, journal={AQUACULTURAL ENGINEERING}, author={Losordo, TM and Hobbs, AO}, year={2000}, month={Sep}, pages={95–102} }
