A method and apparatus for injecting a gas into a liquid in which a rotating helical impeller within a draft tube submerged in the liquid creates a liquid flow within the draft tube. Gas bubbles are injected into the draft tube either above or below or alongside the helical impeller or in all three locations. The liquid is drawn into the draft tube with a superficial velocity greater than a substantially uniform terminal ascent velocity of the gas bubbles to allow entrainment of undissolved gas bubbles in the bulk liquid into the liquid being drawn into the draft tube. The gas bubbles are injected with a uniform diameter of between about 10.0 microns and about 1.0 millimeters. The small bubble size enhances the dissolution of the gas into the liquid and also allow the entrainment of the gas into the liquid being drawn into the draft tube.

A recirculating aquaculture Mixed-Cell Raceway (MCR) system enables the implementation of a compact commercial-size fish culturing system in long and narrow agricultural-style buildings commonly used to house and grow animals. The system can be retrofitted to existing agricultural-style buildings or in new constructions. The system is entirely contained within the footprint of a single rectangular MCR. The MCR can be divided into several growth cells equal in width and length. One or more growth cells are dedicated to water quality treatment and pumping. Each growth cell follows diameter-to-depth ratio guidelines previously developed for round tanks to quickly force the removal of solids being generated because of the feeding fish being cultured. All growth cells are in alignment, co-planar, and all the functions are integrated into the MCR's footprint. Minimal disturbance to the building is necessary, and existing utilities are reused so that plumbing, electrical infrastructure, and construction costs are reduced.
