Abstract: | A hatchery for the rearing of penaeid larvae and postlarvae in raceway-type tanks was designed and has begun operation. Details of the designs of tanks, filters, water systems, air system, and hatchery layout are presented. The culture methods employed in the raceway-type hatchery are given along with the hatchery's technical organization and management procedures. The design and operation of the raceway-type hatchery are compared with those of small-tank (Galveston-type) hatcheries and large-tank (Japanese-type) hatcheries, and relative advantages are discussed. |
