Life support systems are critical to all aquaculture facilities. Life support systems on stocking units are just as critical to a program that transports live animals out of the facility. Michigan Department of Natural Resources understands the importance and is committed to stocking fish that are healthy and alive. Michigan is also committed to keeping their 19 stocking units modernized and up to date. These units are custom built and highly reliable. The intent of this session is to explore the life support system of a 3200 gallon stocking unit.
