All tanks have biofiltration systems capable of using freshwater, brackish water or seawater.
Wastes are treated biologically and bioconverted into natural foods for recycling to fish fry and fingerling stages, or tilapia. This technology eliminates the need for a coastal location, a flow-through seawater system, and any polluting effluent, all of which are highly regulated and very expensive in Florida coastal areas. In addition, the toxic red tide problem in southwest Florida makes it essential to have closed-cycle capability. This is especially important for stock enhancement, to avoid producing fingerlings dependent on antibiotics or other drugs. So far this approach has been successful.
