Description:The lack of suitable sites often creates a problem for the coastal aquaculturist. One solution is to build ponds that can be used in the aquaculture operation for raising fish or other species and can also be used by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers for placing material dredged from waterways. This publication gives a clear outline of issues to consider before jumping into the aquaculture business in general and the construction of ponds for dredged material containment and aquaculture in particular. This guide dispels some aquaculture myths, details investment and operating costs to expect, gives an overview of pond design and construction, provides a brief look at requirements of various species and provides a checklist to help in the decision about establishing an aquaculture operation.
