Abstract

ABSTRACT OYSTERS were grown in raceways for 121 days. Each raceway received water at a different combination of flow rate and food concentration. The weight growth data indicate that, for a given set of physical parameters, food concentration controls the growth rate. Using a chemical reaction model the rate of food uptake and the rate of growth were determined as a function of food concentration. These rates were used to predict conversion (ratio of growth to food) as a function space time (ratio of number of animals to flow rate).
