About the User Manual

The AquaFarm User Manual is a comprehensive 900-page reference document covering the science, engineering, and quantitative methods behind every module of the software. It is substantially more than a how-to guide — it documents the complete methodological foundation of AquaFarm, including species-specific bioenergetic models, water quality algorithms, and economic modeling frameworks.

Because of its depth and standalone scientific value, the User Manual is distributed only as part of AquaFarm itself. It is installed with the software — on the trial as well as on every paid license — and is not available as a separate download.

If you have questions about the software's capabilities before purchasing, the contact form is available.
