The goal of this Conservation Innovation Grant is to manage fish wastes created by a fish aquaculture production through two filtration systems for purification of the water. The grantee proposes to incorporate a swirl filter with a growbed as the first aquaponic filtration system and then test it against a biological filter. In addition, since have both systems are available we would like to run them together in stages to determine the difference in clarity and cleanliness of the water between individual system's results. . The goal of this grant is to create a practice that can be used by aquacultural fish producers to treat fish waste and reduce water use. Resource concerns that will be addressed with these technologies include water quality and water quantity.
