Inland marine fish culture in low salinity recirculating aquaculture systems

We describe recent and ongoing development of technologies in four principal areas: 1) engineering and system design: 2) yearround fingerling production: 3) diet development: and 4) physiological adaptation of marine fish to low salinity environments using genomic approaches. It is anticipated these technologies could find application for rearing euryhaline marine fish throughout approximately 2/3 of the U.S. where low salinity groundwater is available. This approach will reduce the need to be located near the coast, reduce the volume of saltwater effluent and reduce the carbon footprint of marine finfish production.
