My recent posts on breakthrough efforts in Bluefin Tuna reproduction by Clean Seas Tuna clearly illustrates how important it can be to control the environmental conditions experienced by a captive fish population.

One of the key contributors to fine grained control applied by Clean Seas is UNI-Aqua a Danish designer, systems integrator and builder of recirculating systems for rearing broodstock and aquaculture growout.

UNI-Aqua have established quite a reputation for themselves as a result of projects with an array of salt and freshwater species in Europe, South America, North America, Australia and Asia.

A nice review of the Arno Bay recirculating facility in South Australia can be viewed here.

US scientists from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) at Wood’s Hole, Massachusetts have trialled a system which uses sound as a means of controlling fish behaviour. Could this provide the beginnings of an ability to conduct aquaculture without cages or nets?

Is this likely to be feasible?

Is it desirable?

How can we take this initial thought and reshape it?

You can read more about the concept here.
