Body injury rates (% of fish) to <strong>the</strong> head, eyes, skin, and fins of splittail and chinook<br />

salmon were relatively low did not differ between groups. The relatively high injury<br />

rate exhibited by splittail in our first pump trial in December occurred was related to<br />

nitrogen supersaturation in <strong>the</strong> holding tanks prior to pump experiments, but <strong>the</strong>se<br />

were unrelated to <strong>the</strong> recirculation aquaculture systems.<br />

This recirculation system was relatively simple to operate, offered low capitol and<br />

operational costs, and proved efficient in reducing water usage and holding sensitive fish<br />

species for experimental purposes. It was designed to support moderate fish densities by<br />

providing relatively good water quality and appeared to function well in this respect.<br />
