ASPECTS ON MECHANICAL FILTERING IN AQUACULTURE SYSTEMS

Filtering plays an essential part in the process of intensive fish farming, because faeces and unconsumed food remain in the water inside the basins where the fish are raised and in time generate bacteria and infections that lead to the death of fish. Therefore, the water in these basins is permanently recycled in order to be filtered and refreshed, this paper presenting the actuated filtering systems used in the country and worldwide in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) for intensive fish farming
