A method for shrimp aquaculture, in which, all growth phases and essential operations are modularized and integrated to form a multi-phasic synchronous super-intensive shrimp production system controlled by a custom designed cyber-physical platform. Modular components include, for example, post-larvae nursery modules, grow-out production modules, recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) modules, feed distribution modules, and regulatory elements comprised of Program Logic Controllers (PLCs) integrated with Human Interface Modules (HIMs).

A system includes a housing; a water tank positioned within the housing, wherein an inside of the water tank is sealed to prevent contact between material forming the water tank and water within the water tank; a water movement subsystem causing water to circulate within the water tank, including a baffle extending along the center of the water tank dividing the water tank into a circular raceway, and a pump causing water to circulate; an aeration subsystem maintaining an oxygenation level suitable for crustaceans to live within the water tank; a temperature control subsystem maintaining a water temperature suitable for crustaceans to live within the water tank; a water quality monitoring subsystem monitoring a water quality parameter of water within the water tank; a feeding subsystem configured to dispense food into the water tank; a biofloc removal subsystem configured to remove biofloc from the water tank; and a control system.

An improvement is described for the processing of biological material in a continuous stream by the application of radiant energy taken from the wavelengths from infrared to ultraviolet, and its absorption by a feedstock in a workspace of featuring controlled turbulence created by one or more counter-rotating disk impellers. The absorbed energy and the controlled turbulence patterns create a continuous process of productive change in a feed into the reactor, with separated light and heavy product output streams flowing both inward and outward from the axis in radial counterflow. The basic mechanism of processing can be applied to a wide range of feedstocks, from the promotion of the growth of algae to make biofuel or other forms of aquaculture, to a use in the controlled combustion of organic material to make biochar.

A system for indoor shrimp aquaculture is described that comprises a plurality of stacked raceways, each raceway being a long, flat rectangular tank comprising at least two sections arranged in series and scaled to accommodate shrimp of increasing size. The sections are separated by a moveable section divider whereby shrimp may be transferred between sections once they reach a predetermined size by opening the moveable section divider and allowing the shrimp and water to flow through into the next section. Each raceway includes a waste collection assembly situated at the downstream end of each section for collecting waste for removal. Methods of using the system to grow shrimp are also provided. The raceways are further adapted to facilitate operation of the production module at large scales, in this way; the system is scaleable to achieve high-throughput production of shrimp.
