Demonstrations and laboratory exercises in aquaculture. IV. Mechanical filtration

The type of mechanical filter that a culturist elects to employ will be a function of what needs to be removed (considering the primary culture organism's health and requirements), the design of the culture system, the exchange and/or recirculation rate of the water, the skill of the people who will be maintaining the filters and, of course, the cost of the filtration equipment and the cost of its operation.
