Descripción
Modern aquaculture is an emerging technology, and each year scientists make technical advances in their disciplines which push husbandry and management of aquatic animals to new limits. The continuous stream of new information requires flexibility in the engineering and operation of all facilities for the culture of aquatic animals to avoid immediate or future obsolescence. The planning and design of these facilities therefore require thoughtful integration of many technical skills in order t o obtain the most economic return on capital investment. This ADCP guideline document describes an INTEGRATED SYSTEMATIC APPROACH to the planning and design of aquaculture facilities. Among the list of typical facilities are fish and shellfish hatcheries, land-based farms, offshore farms and cage complexes, research laboratories, and training centres. Public aquariums, which are often associated with aquaculture facilities, can be included also. The integrated systematic approach simplifies a nd orders the planning and design process, and makes certain that the end-product is both technically and economically appropriate for the intended purpose.
