or river
rock.
• No weeding is necessary.

After curing the water and insuring the system has no leaks, the
all-male Tilapia fish, (fingerlings) are placed in the warm water
in the fish tanks. California Hybrid Tilapia
are a crossbred of Mozambique and Hornorum Tilapia. This cross
is called female fatal because the females all die very young.
The fish to the right are about 18cm (7”) long and will be
harvested at 28cm or .5 kg.
Normally a tilapia grows toharvest size in 6.5 to 8 monthsat
that point they are .5kg.

Portable Farms™ Aquaponics System Technology License
Information. Licenses are for specifically defined
territories.
The area in which the License Holder’s company can sell, build
and
service the PFAS installations in a reasonable fashion.
In some cases this territory will be entire countries, Botswana
being
the most recent example. It is a very large country with a
small
population and the License Holder is a national builder with
thirty
years of experience and a number of crews, a good fit.
In some instances a city, county or province is a better sized
territory
to work within for the License Holder. The city of Austin, Texas
or the
County of Cork or a zone in a large city being examples.
Some License Holder companies can reasonably service an area
larger than their surrounding county, city, state or province
and can
apply for an extension of the defined territory.
