Abstract

The 'Comparative Study of Four Popular Grow Out Methods' was undertaken to examine four promising grow-out methodologies for a small aquaculture operation and to compare them with regard to costs, convenience, maintenance and performance. Its objective was to determine whether any system emerged as more cost effective and efficient than the others, and whether a clear choice exists. Stated more simply, it was an opportunity to explore the "pros and cons" of the various systems in use.
