Method for optimization of filtration in an aquaculture system

A method for optimizing a filtration system within an aquaculture system comprising:

• taking at least one sample of matter from at least one interworking of the aquaculture system;
• testing the at least one sample of matter to determine a nitrate level of the at least one sample of matter;
• determining if the nitrate level of the at least one sample of matter is below a predetermined threshold of 20 mg/L;
• modifying resource distribution within the aquaculture system if the nitrate level is below the predetermined threshold of 20 mg/L;
• after taking the at least one sample of matter, taking at least two samples of matter from at least two interworkings of the aquaculture system;
• testing the at least two samples of matter to determine an ammonium level in the at least two samples of matter;
• determining if the ammonium level of the at least two samples of matter is between 0.001 mg/L and 0.02 mg/L;
• and
• further modifying resource distribution within the aquaculture system if the ammonium level is outside the range of 0.001 mg/L to 0.02 mg/L.
