Claim:
A method for producing adult aquatic specie in an aquaculture system comprising: growing algae within an algae subsystem containing saltwater illuminated by a light source; flowing the algae from the algae subsystem into an artemia subsystem containing adult artemia, an aquatic specie nursery subsystem and an aquatic specie growout subsystem, all containing saltwater; consuming the algae by the adult artemia and producing small artemia by the adult artemia within the artemia subsystem; passing the small artemia from the artemia subsystem to the aquatic specie nursery subsystem and the aquatic specie growout subsystem; consuming the algae and the small artemia by immature aquatic specie contained within the aquatic specie nursery subsystem for producing adolescent aquatic specie, the adolescent aquatic specie being passed to the aquatic specie growout subsystem; consuming the algae and the small artemia by the adolescent aquatic specie contained within the aquatic specie growout subsystem for producing adult aquatic specie; and harvesting the adult aquatic specie.
