Note(s): A series of commercial-scale production trials were carried out at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution (HBOI) over a one-year period to develop information on the production parameters and costs associated with the production of Penaeus vannamei in a recirculating aquaculture system. These data were used to develop an economic model to analyze the commercial feasibility of producing shrimp in systems based on the designs developed at Harbor Branch.
