    • With adjustments is can be done in most of the US even on small properties
    • A lot of the feed requirements can be self provided
    • High quality protein that can be harvested as needed (no storage energy)
    • Growth rates are high due to high efficiency of aquatic environments
    • Other feed stock for other animals can be an out put
    • Huge fertility can be built by even small aquatic systems
    • A track record of feeding humans for thousands of years
    • Tons of aquatic and semi aquatic vegetables can be grown along with fish
    • Water is life
  • Some ideas I have that may help you
    • Miyagis are beautiful but above ground pools are cheaper and more efficient
    • If you can dig a hole go as deep as is practical
    • Use either local fish or fish that are endemic to a climate like your own
    • Do not adjust PH, etc. find fish that live in your natural water source
    • If you are not on a well you really and I mean really need to harness rain catch
    • Don’t hesitate to use commercial feed
  • This is something you really will not learn and understand until you do it
