“…Several linear functions that used distributed feed quantity, fish body mass or temperature as proxies to estimate oxygen consumption at the individual level have been proposed. 45,46 Some of these functions can be connected to simple growth functions or used in traditional bioenergetic models. Fish respiration can also be estimated using indirect calorimetry principles, as in MOM or the FSM of Besson et al 69 This method assumes that the energy lost through respiration equals that used to oxidise excreted dissolved nutrients.…”

“…Feed ration data can be obtained from farm records, feeding charts or the FCR. Calculating feed ration from a single FCR is easy and common in FSMs 39,42,46,51,66,69 ; however, doing so seriously limits model capacities and generality, 43 as feed rations must be assumed to remain constant over time, and FCR is highly farm specific.…”

Models are important tools to address sustainability challenges associated with developing aquaculture at farm, regional and global scales. Farm-scale models (FSMs), which are integrated mathematical models developed to simulate farm operations, can quantify energy, mass or economic input flows and predict a variety of outputs such as fish biomass, waste and by-products. The variety of farming systems, equa-

“…An event-based program to simulate the day-today operations of multiple-tank raceways. A systems approach to the simulation of a raceway facility was used to develop RDSS, written in Visual Basic for Applications and run within Microsoft1 Office Excel 2003 [23]. The software allows users to manage their raceways more efficiently by providing a tool to simulate the operation of an existing raceway or to predict conditions in a raceway under a wide variety of operating conditions.…”

Review of Aquacultural Production System Models

The success and profitability of aquaculture production is highly dependent on the proper management employed during the culture period. This management is synonymous with water management since water of suitable quality and quantity is a prerequisite for any successful aquacultural production. The knowledge of the environment (water) enhances better management. However, the complexity of an aquaculture system which result from multiple interactions makes it difficult to predict how the aquatic community will respond to changes with simple methods of analysis, especially if the methods address a single stressor at a time. These necessitated the development of numerous aquatic ecosystem models such as the Fish Simulation Culture Model (FIS-C), Tilapia Farming Support Tool (TFST), Farm Aquaculture Resource Management (FARM), Pond-Water Availability Period (PWAP) model, AquaFarm and Raceway design and simulation system (RDSS)),which have been used for years as tools to interpret, predict and better understand water quality changes. This paper reviewed existing simulation models of aquacultural production systems with the aim of adopting a suitable one for predicting the environment, performance of African cultured indigenous fish species under different management scenarioes. The reviewed models were found to have addressed specific problem that pertain to some foreign species, production systems and locality. There was none that could be used to model the effects of different management scenario and their effects on African Catfish (Clarials gariepinus) cultured in intensive static aquacultural system. Hence, the problem of predicting the environmental condition, so as to determine point of diminishing returns and optimize yield in an economical way still remains elusive for most fish farms in Nigeria. There is therefore a serious need to develop models that can predict the effects of environment on the performance of indigenous fish species. This will aid stake holders in predicting different management scenario so as to achieve a better crop (fish) yield.

“…Although the utilization of raceway reactors for the production of microalgae was first proposed in the 1960's, only recently has its design been revised, both from the fluid-dynamic and mass transfer capacity points of view [3,[8][9][10][11][12]. Most of the studies focus on improving fluid dynamics to minimize power consumption, especially in biofuels production, whereas others focus on CO2 transfer to make more efficient use of this expensive raw material.…”
