| Abstract | Aquaculture systems generally consist of floating structures, with netting attached to them and suspended in the water column. These structures form the containment systems that enclose the farmed fish. Historically aquaculture installations have been located in sheltered coastal areas that minimize exposure to waves and open ocean currents. In recent years there has been a developing interest in extending the operations of aquaculture systems into regions where the systems are more exposed to waves and currents - so called open-ocean aquaculture. Initially this move was contemplated as the industry expanded in certain regions resulting in shortages of near-shore sheltered sites. More recently there has been anecdotal evidence that raising fish in more open locations results in improved yields and less incidence of disease. |
