Synopsis (short abstract) The water recirculation techniques used for aquaculture is not only the way forward in countries where environmental conservation is highly emphasized; the technique is also used to secure a higher and more staple aquaculture production with less diseases and better ways to control the hatchery parameters that influence growth. The strong environmental restrictions to minimize pollution from hatcheries and aquaculture plants in Northern European countries have sparked a rapid technological devel opment of the recirculation technique. This promotes environmentally sustainable aquaculture and also implies that hatcheries no longer necessarily need to be placed in pristine areas near rivers. Now they can be built almost anywhere a much smaller source of clean germ free water is available. The guide is prepared to inspire and help aquaculture farmers to take up the recirculation technique in the future.

Tačiau recirkuliacija taip pat užtikrina pastovesnę ir stabilesnę žuvų auginimo produkciją, pasižyminčia mažesniu ligų skaičiumi ir geresniais žuvų veisyklų parametrų, kurie turi įtakos augimui, kontrolės būdais. Toks vystymasis yra tinkamas ir visiškai atitinka FAO Atsakingą akvakultūros ek sploatavimo kodeksą. Šis žuvų auginimo recirkuliacinėse sistemose vadovas papildo aplinką tausojančio žuvų auginimo darbą, vykdomą FAO Centrinės ir Rytų Europos subregioninio skyriaus.

    It is generally recognized that the ongoing availability of good quality natural resources and skilled work force are the two central pillars of a modern economy. This fact is recognized by senior decision makers every where and especially those managing the economies of the industrialized nations. But because of historically much stronger ties to the vast Canadian land mass and traditionally a resource-based economy, people and the governments in Canada, have been more aware of the direct linka ges between a healthy biophysical environment and the good quality of life.

    This document has been prepared based on sound scientific principles and international approaches to monitoring cage aquaculture facilities. In general this is a guide to help support good monitoring practice, with details on what to monitor, parameters to be collected, how data is collected, appropriate ways to process the data and what to do with it once the survey is complete and results available. Such monitoring activity will ensure that cage farms use practices that minimize environmental impacts for the long term sustainability of cage aquaculture within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In this sense the document is for fish farmers and their consultants to ensure a unified process of monitoring using standardized procedures, but is more generally applicable for all stakeholders.
