Recirculation techniques in aquaculture exist and are applied at an industrial scale in sea-bass, sea-bream and turbot rearing for sho rt (incubation, larval rearing, weaning) or long (broodstock) rearing phases whatever the biomass. Experiments are carried out by IFREMER in partnership with producers and equipment makers to develop super intensive fish production in closed system. From the economic viewpoint, recirculation makes it possible to reduce fingerling production cost while it is still unknown in the case of ongrowing. From the insurance viewpoint, recirculation will make risk appraisal and risk m anagement easier. [NOT CONTROLLED OCR]
