description A combination of two different technologies used for fish production was evaluated at the North Carolina State University (NCSU) F̀ish Barn facility. The combined system included the ECOFISH∗ tank, developed at the Norwegian Hydrotechnical Laboratory (NHL) at SINTEF (Trondheim, Norway) and water treatment and recycle technology designed at NCSU. Approximately 2170 fingerling tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus, Oreochromis niloticus × Oreochromis aureus) were grown from 3.6 to 507 g in 177 days in a 20 m 3 four-zone tank. The system design included patented particle traps at the bottom of each zone to remove feed waste and excrement, sludge collectors where the removed particles settled, a rotating screen filter for suspended solids removal, a high-rate linear-path trickling biological filter for nitrification, and two down-flow columns for oxygen injection. The measured suspended solids level in the tank zones were usually less than 7.5 mg l −1. Based on six efficiency tests with a mean total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) concentration in the culture tank of 0.62 mg l −1, the biofilter removed approximately 65% on a single pass through the filter, with an average removal rate per unit of filter surface area of 0.33 g TAN m −2 day −1. Sampling every 4 h over a 24-h period showed variability in concentrations and TAN removal rates by the biofilter. Six efficiency tests on the sludge collectors and the screen filter showed 80% and 41% suspended solids removal efficiency, respectively, based on the influent and effluent concentrations. On a daily basis, the sludge collectors and the screen filter each removed about 18% of feed volatile solids input, respectively, based on three 24-h periods studied. Fresh water use averaged approximately 1500 l day −1, which was about 7% of the system volume.
