About PR Aqua
25 Years of Aquaculture Service Started in fiberglass Total hatchery supply Engineering Services for hatchery design Moved into recirc and reuse design of
hatcheries Most of the work with State government
hatcheries Help deal with drought and disease and overall
water conservation and meeting regulations

Starting Point Circular Tanks
5
Traditional Flow-Through
Difficult to flush solids
Not easy to clean
Plug flow – not great mixing of oxygen
Low densities due to crowding at one
Enormous water consumption
If not gravity flow, large pumping costs

Circular Tank Discussion
Excellent mixing of new oxygenated water
Even temperature distribution
Optimum rotational velocity
Self-cleaning feed and feces
Maximum volume utilization
Morts and solids get directed to center of tank

Recirculation vs ReuseRecirculation
Between 95 to 99.9% of flowReduced cost of heatingMin. Required Processes:
Solids Filtration Biofiltration CO2 Removal Oxygenation
ReuseBetween 50 to 85% of
flowGreater cost of heatingMin. Required
Processes:• Partial Solids
Removal• CO2 Removal• Oxygenation
13
Simplest Reuse
Treatment of Gases Removal of CO2
Addition of Oxygen Can achieve 50-85%

Raceway Oxygenation
State of California – Fish production mandates No new water Old raceway systems – no $$ to upgrade to tanks Installing LHO’s to benefit WQ Achieve higher densities thereby increasing
production #’s Oxygen supply via Oxygen Generators Anticipate a 50% increase in production just with
the addition of oxygen

Oxygen Supply Generation or Lox
20
Oxygen Supply Pros and Cons
Bulk Oxygen High pressure 99.9% pure - no nitrogen Always available No mechanical failures More expensive especially
for remote sites
Generated OxygenNot recommended for
high pressure oxygenation
Only 92% pureEnergy dependentCan break down so
emergency back up reqd.Less expensive

Recently WA State went through the tank vs raceway discussion Have completed a pilot done in conjunction with Chelan PUD –
juvenile Chinook/Steelhead Partial Reuse system set up right next to a raceway system Evaluated performance, health & welfare Survival rates on returns

75% water savings Comparable growth with raceway fish Higher densities and more production with
75% less water 18% better survival in PRAS Significant decrease in precocious males Year two trials – doubling densities

Overall Benefits of Reusing Water in Fish Hatcheries
Water conservation Effluent reduction-for EPA regs. More solids concentration More controlled environment Fish production increase potential Fish health improvements Better utilization of water resources –
higher densities More fish / less water in / less water out
