AQUIS - Aquaculture Information System
TYPES OF STRUCTURE
CAGES - Enclosed net suspended from surface fixtures (e.g. floating platform)PENS - Confined area in water body, with boundaries (from surface to bottom) made from nets, sticks, etc.
ENCLOSURES - Closure of a natural body of water (e.g. bay, lagoon) through erection of a barrier such as nets, sticks, etc., at a narrow constriction of the land formation.
PONDS - Small or large culture units made by excavating earth (e.g. carp, shrimp ponds), or built with concrete/fibreglass (e.g. trout, salmon ponds).
RACEWAYS - Long, narrow culture units (length at least 10 x width) for rearing fish after post-larval stage (e.g. trout raceways).
TRAYS - As for raceways, generally used for incubation and rearing larval stages.
JARS - Cylindrical units generally used for incubation of eggs.
SILO - Large, cylindrical units for rearing fish after post-larval stage (e.g. trout).
HANGING LINES - Lines with organisms attached or enclosed in bags, hanging from rafts or suspended from horizontal lines (e.g. off-bottom rearing of oysters and mussels, algae, etc.).
LOCATION/ENVIRONMENT
SRL BOTTOM - Sea, river or lakebed for bottom rearing.OPEN WATERS - Lakes, lagoons, open seas.
DAMS/RESERVOIRS - Extended bodies of water created by artificial barriers.
IRRIGATION CANAL - Canals used for carrying water to agriculture crops.
RICE FIELDS -
RECIRCULATION SY - Recirculation systems.
OTHER DESCRIPTION
INTEGRATED FARMS - Vertically integrated operation; aquaculture integrated with agriculture crops.HATCHERIES - Produce seed for other operations.
NURSERIES - Partial grow-out operations to post-larval stage before transfer to other facilities.
GROW-OUT - Organisms reared to adult or market size.
