View source for Greenfish recirculation technology

Developed in Sweden, the '''Greenfish recirculation technology''' is a [[water purification]] technology for sustainable [[aquaculture]] production in closed indoor freshwater systems. It was developed at [[Gothenburg University]] by [[Björn Lindén]] in collaboration with Chalmers associate professor [http://www.chalmers.se/s2/SV/kontakt/personal/wik-torsten Torsten Wik], under the supervision of professor emeritus [[Gustaf Olsson]] at [[Lund University]] of Technology.

have appeared as well as verification of the system in full-scale farming operations with wet feed and semi-moist fish feed. One of the most important describes the advanced simulator for full-scale recirculation in an aquaculture system with algorithms for complete mass balances calculations, involving: growth of fish, addition of fish feeds, production of waste, bacterial growth and the dynamics of the water purification system.

In the system no less than 28 different parameters of bacterial substrates are described to simulate{{Clarify|date=September 2014|post-text=Surely the parameters do more than simulate. Or do we mean they are variables within a simulation?}} the water purification dynamics of the system.

The microbial scientific basics and water purification technology and engineering rests on formidable scientific knowledge, as can be followed in further references
