What AquaFarm Does

• AquaFarm is simulation software for aquatic and aquaculture systems and facilities.
• AquaFarm is used to specify, simulate, evaluate, and develop aquatic and aquaculture systems and facilities.
• AquaFarm can be used for aquaculture facility design, management planning, research, and education.
• AquaFarm is not intended for daily operations management and record keeping.

How AquaFarm Works

• AquaFarm software is a stand-alone, computer-desktop application.
• AquaFarm uses computer modeling and simulation to test and analyze user-specified aquaculture systems and facilities.
• AquaFarm provides structured aquaculture expertise and calculation processing.
• AquaFarm is built on the knowledge base and quantitative methods of aquatic and aquaculture sciences and engineering.
• Simulation-generated data are reviewed in data tables and graphs, management logs, and facility resource and economic budgets.

AquaFarm Software References

Quantitative models used in AquaFarm for simulation of aquatic processes and animal performance are based on methods reported in the literature. This literature includes aquatic and aquaculture sciences and engineering. In addition, various rule-based algorithms and quantitative models have been newly developed specifically for the AquaFarm Software. These algorithms and models are listed and described in the AquaFarm User Manual.
