Fishery Restoration Hatchery Design
Aquaculture Bioengineering Corp has been an active team member in numerous State, Federal and Tribal hatchery renovation/construction projects. These are typical large undertakings involving 2 or more engineering firms and several contractors. System designs have included flow-through, RAS and partial reuse aquaculture systems (PRAS) with annual productions exceeding millions of fish. Recent projects include design reviews for new hatcheries for the State of Alaska.
