A sulphur denitrification system includes a liquid input fluidly coupled to a source of saltwater that includes nitrate; a liquid output fluidly coupled to the source of saltwater; a plurality of vertically-oriented tanks, at least one of the tanks including a liquid inlet that is fluidly coupled to the liquid input to receive a flow of the saltwater, a volume configured to enclose a plurality of sulphur particles that support denitrification bacteria that biologically transform the nitrate into at least one of nitrous oxide or nitrogen gas, and a liquid outlet fluidly coupled to the liquid output and the liquid inlets of the tanks; and a circulation system configured to circulate a portion of the saltwater though the liquid input to the liquid inlets of the plurality of tanks, through the plurality of tanks, and from the liquid outlets of the tanks to the liquid output and the liquid inlets of the tanks.

An aquaculture system can include stacked growth trays. Animals, such as shrimp, can be transferred between the growth trays for different stages of growth. Waste water can be removed from the growth trays and can be processed by a water treatment system. Treated water can be returned to the growth trays. A valve in a first configuration can permit water to circulate through the growth tray, while impeding the animals from exiting the growth tray. In a second configuration, the valve can permit the animals to exit the growth tray, such as for transition to a subsequent growth tray. A sweeper system can be used for cleaning and/or mixing the water in the growth tray, and/or for pushing the animals out of the growth tray during a transition.

The present invention discloses a filter material for a culture system, and a preparation method and use thereof. The filter material comprises an anode material and a cathode material, wherein the anode material is an active metal, and the cathode material is an inactive metal or a conductive non-metal. The filter material can significantly improve the water quality in the culture system, be used for in-situ treatment of the water body in the culture system and be convenient to use. The filter material does not require additional application of voltage or current, and thus is safer. At the same time, the filter material has a long service life and does not need to be changed frequently. In addition, the preparation method of the filter material is simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly, and is advantageous for large-scale production.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe aquaculture filtration systems comprising a tidal basin, first bead filter unit, second bead filter unit, and optionally an inoculation tank. The tidal basin and first bead filter unit can be in fluid communication. The first bead filter unit can be in fluid communication with the second bead filter unit and optionally the tidal basin via a bypass line. The second bead filter unit can be in fluid communication with the tidal basin and optionally an inoculation tank via an inoculation loop. The aquaculture filtration systems can optionally further comprise pumps for circulating fluids, such as circulation pumps and inoculation pumps, and valves for controlling or directing fluid flow. Embodiments also describe related methods, systems, apparatuses, and the like.

Systems and methods for intensive recirculating aquaculture are provided herein. An example system includes water sourced from a first segment of a saline aquifer, a recirculating aquaculture system receiving the sourced water and producing discharge water, and a water discharge point located within second segment of the saline aquifer disposed below the first segment of the saline aquifer.

An insulated passive house, building, or skyscrapers system and method with integrated aquaponics, greenhouse, and mushroom cultivation, includes a glazing on a sun facing side at an angle to maximize winter sunlight, and housing a fish tank; a plant growing area; a mushroom growing area; a shop, apartment or office area; a water wall thermal mass that divides the plant growing area from the mushroom growing and the shop, apartment or office areas, and the fish tank; and a natural air ventilation (NAV) system that provides misted air to the mushroom growing and the shop, apartment or office areas, and the fish tank from O2 generated by the plant growing area, and CO2 generated by the mushroom growing and the shop, apartment or office areas, and the fish tank to the plant growing area.

Method for cultivating paralarvae of the common octopus, Octopusvulgaris up to the settlement thereof (benthic phase), based on a diet of prey containing the caprellids Pfttisica marina and CaprelIa equilibra and/or gammarids of the genus Jassa spp. Factors such as light conditions, water renewal and temperature, inter alia, are optimized to obtain maximum paralarvae survival.

Accordingly, the present disclosure relates to a modular hydroponic system that may integrate various farming mechanisms. More specifically, the modular hydroponic system may utilize interconnected modules and lines to cycle nutrient-rich water to a range of plant and animal life. The modular hydroponic system may comprise aquaponic modules that may continuously process recycled water and replenish it with nutrients to facilitate growth of the plant life. With a combination of hydroponics and aquaponics, the modular hydroponic system may provide for both a farm and fisheries, allowing for the harvest of produce and fish. The modular aspect of the modular hydroponic system may allow for customization based on resources, spaces, and needs, wherein modules may be combined and substituted.
