@TCLynx - Last I checked the USDA only had Farm raised or Wild for fish and shellfish. And that was only needed to be disclosed to the re-seller, not the consumer. I have yet to find any legal source to say that other than Organic as a marketing effort with meats, that there is no standard to dictate what is "organic" like with veggies.

I wonder if they are going to get in trouble by claiming that their fish is "Organically Grown" since last I knew there were no "Organic Standards" For fish even if the feed is organic and the Aquaponic Veggies certified organic.

This is a photo of a fish farm in the Philippines that belongs to a very good friend of mine. He raises channel catfish, Tilapia and Prawns. His biggest challenge is filtration.

I am just replumbing my ''Mini Commercial Fish Farm" here in Washington. I have a pond and a grow house with 5-1300 gallon rotomolded tanks. I raise Koi, Trout and Catfish. I have learned a wealth of information about how not to do it - I know how Tomas Edison felt.
There are no books on the subject of commercial fish farming, much less ''Mini Commercial Fish Farming." The big issues that I have dealt with are:
Tank LayoutFilter Establishment
Water Quality
Water Aeration
Water Heating for the Catfish and Koi
Grow House Heating
Believe me, I am writing up a case study on my project as a book. I know a 1,000 ways not to do it.

@Fabiola Burgos - It can be a long process with habanero. I grow a multitude of pepper types and Habanero can be picky. Make sure you are keeping a steady temp and that the plants are not getting too much water. Habanero like a media temp of 75 or better. It is an average of 90-150 days for fruit to show up on a good plant. I had 50 plants this year and only two fruited. Last year all fruited.
