article i nfo A controlled six-month study was conducted in six replicated water recirculation aquaculture systems (WRAS) to assess fish health indicators in relation to high feeding/low flushing conditions. Juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were stocked in six identical WRAS (1000 fish per system), and were maintained over the study period between 25 kg/m 3 (minimum) and 80 kg/m 3 (maximum) densities. Three WRAS received a relatively high makeup water exchange rate (2.6%), while three systems received only 0.26%

• Comparing the effects of high vs. low nitrate on the health, performance, and welfare of juvenile rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss within water recirculating aquaculture systems (2014, methodology): “Rainbow trout cultured within a flow through system, a high exchange WRAS, and a low exchange WRAS had BUN concentrations of 2.0, 15.9 ± 0.62, and 19.0 ± 0.80 mg/dL, respectively (Good et al., 2009).”
