Home FAQ Aquaculture How much will it cost to set up a simple system ?

 

Depends on how simple and what you are trying to achieve. If you want to grow out a species then you will need sufficient animals/plants so that you can gain experience with the production of the species and learn how to manage your system.

As a rough guide about $ 3,000 should allow you to purchase water quality measuring equipment, small tank, pump,filter, biofilter, water heater, aerator and fifty small animals. You need to plan on growing the animals to market size and doing this several times before spending any more money - who knows you may find that it is all far to hard and you would rather be playing cricket with your mates !!!
