Biofilter inoculation in recirculating aquaculture systems
Biological filters are essential parts of recirculating aquaculture systems that transform toxic fish compounds such as ammonium and nitrite into less-harmful nitrate. The authors tested the convenience and efficiency of three methods for the initial inoculation of aerobic biofilters.

Feed management for RAS, part 2
The higher cost of feeds for RAS can be offset by better management, since it is easier to feed frequently and monitor uneaten or wasted feed.
