Front

Define 'raceway' in aquaculture.

Back

A raceway is an artificial channel designed to facilitate high water flow for fish farming.

Front

What is the primary advantage of an intensive aquaculture system?

Back

It allows for a higher stocking density of fish, maximizing production.

Front

Explain the significance of the flow index in a raceway system.

Back

The flow index helps determine the water flow rate necessary for optimal fish growth and health.

Front

What factors are needed to calculate the flow index in a raceway?

Back
