Abstract

The successful operation of fish farms is of paramount importance. This short paper summarizes the environmental physics which applies in a vertically well mixed water body in a coastal location maintained by tidal exchange, which is where most productive fish farms are located. Analytical formulae are given which are easily applied from basic oceanographic data and the fish stock which is proposed for the cages in the aquaculture farm. No specialist oceanographic knowledge is assumed for the implementation of the formulae, as is demonstrated from a case study for an aquaculture farm in South Australia.
