The habitat means of each rearing means are adapted to be inserted within or removed from the medium of such rearing means, depending on whether it is desired to rear crustaceans or fish, or both, in polyculture. In further aspects of the invention, unique filtration means for continuously filtering the rearing medium and culling means for transferring or harvesting the animals are also disclosed.
