SRAC Management of Recirculating Systems
SRAC Management of Recirculating Systems
describes the cycling of nutrients in the aquaponics system and how the chemicals change form to be both beneficial and harmful throughout the system
RecirculatingNutrientsinAquaponics.pdfSRAC Recirculating Aquaculture Tank Production Systems
SRAC Recirculating Aquaculture Tank Production Systems
describes how the aquaponics system is considered both closed and sustainable, and how it circulates in a way that is safe for both plants and fish.
RecirculationinAquaponics.pdfSRAC Principles of Small Scale Aquaponics
SRAC Principles of Small Scale Aquaponics
describes the importance of each of the tanks present in the aquaponics system. It describes how they work individually and how they work as a unit.
SmallScaleAquaponics.pdfSRAC Tank Culture of Tilapia
SRAC Tank Culture of Tilapia
describes how tilapia interact in the aquaponics system and why they are being used in our system. This publication describes specifics to the design and the environment that is most suitable for tilapia.

SRAC Interpretation of Water Analysis Reports for Fish Culture
SRAC Interpretation of Water Analysis Reports for Fish Culture
describes the different chemical and nutrients that should be tested for, the values that are expected, and how to run the tests and submit to a water quality laboratory.
WaterAnalysisReports.pdfSRAC Ammonia in Fish Ponds
SRAC Ammonia in Fish Ponds
describes how the effects of ammonia can appear in other chemical make-up of the aquatic system and how to treat the system if there's too much ammonia present.
AmmoniaAquaponics.pdfSRAC Nitrite in Fish Ponds
SRAC Nitrite in Fish Ponds
describes how the effects of nitrites can appear in other chemical make-up of the aquatic system and how to treat the system if there's too much ammonia present.
NitriteAquaponics.pdfSRAC Interactions of Chemicals in Fish Ponds
SRAC Interactions of Chemicals in Fish Ponds
describes how the chemical make-up of the aquatic environment is interconnected and each factor is interdependent on another.

Video 1: Intro and System Design
Video 1: Intro and System Design
In this video, Dr. Shelton describes how a large-scale aquaponics system is set up and maintained, and he walks through the system and how completely it connects.
Video 2: Care and Maintenance
Video 2: Care and Maintenance
In this video, Dr. Shelton describes how to maintain the health of the aquaponics system and how to tell when it is in a healthy state or not, how to set up the system, and how to monitor for important variables.
Video 3: Hatchery and Follow Up Discussion
Video 3: Hatchery and Follow Up Discussion
In this video, Dr. Shelton shows the process of the how the fishery hatchery works and how to raise tilapia from spawning through adulthood.
In the final minutes of the video, Dr. Shelton also discusses the economic impacts and different studies that could be done within the aquaponic system.
