Market? ……yesterday’s lunch?

Production Facility Golden Ranch Plantation in Gheens LA Partitioned Aquaculture System (PAS)

Traditional Earthen Ponds Fish scattered throughout entire pond Aeration needed for DO problems Feeding issues

Partitioned Aquaculture System: Basics Algal BasinFish PenLow-Speed Paddlewheel

Golden Ranch Plantation PAS Algal Basin Pumps move water through individual pens (20 x 20 ft) Walkway Road Office

Broodstock Collection Multifilament Gill Nets Transported to Golden Ranch PAS Currently have four

Spawning Facility 16 ft diameter round tank, 3 ft deep, bio-filter Housed in metal building Aquamats, other substrate

Use LHRH R. Troll 35 ug/kg for female

Rearing Facility Sump Pump Filter Valve’s Drain Larval Tanks Moved to PAS once large enough size is reached. Thermostat? UV

Larval Feed Live artemia  larval crumble  floating pellets

Science Beyond Production Tim ClayMark Suchy

Thesis Topics…. Salinity Effects Temperature Effects Feeding Periodicity / Amount Size at Stocking (Compensatory Growth) Other?
