ABSTRACT:
A method of producing mature fish using an algal turf as feedstock. The method consists of first growing an algal turf in a growth reservoir while subjecting the turf to an oscillatory water surge; severing the algal turf from its growing surface and transferring the severed algal turf to a second vessel containing young fish. In an optional embodiment, water enriched in oxygen may be removed from the growth reservoir and recycled to the second vessel. Further, at least a portion of the metabolic and respiratory waste products of the fish may be transferred to a growth reservoir containing algal turf.
