Systems and methods of intensive recirculating aquaculture

A system for culturing aquatic life comprising:

• at least one tank structured to concurrently contain water and fish;
• a first path of fluid flow disposed in interconnecting, fluid communicating relation between said at least one tank and a first segment of a saline aquifer;
• said first path of fluid flow disposed and structured to deliver water from the first segment of the saline aquifer to said at least one tank;
• a wastewater injection assembly including a second path of fluid flow disposed in fluid communication with a second segment of the saline aquifer;
• said wastewater injection assembly operative to direct wastewater to the second segment of the saline aquifer, via said second path of fluid flow;
• the first segment and the second segment of the saline aquifer being disposed at substantially segregated water levels of the saline aquifer;
• and
• a filter assembly disposed and structured to filter discharge water from said at least one tank and generate processed discharge water, said processed discharge water directed back into said at least one tank.
