6.1.2. Cylindrical Tanks
It is the most ideal tank type in fish farming. It is a tank system where the water enters from
the upper edge of the tank and there is a water outlet from the opposite side of the water inlet
or in the middle of the bottom, and the water level is adjusted by pipe type weirs. Compared
to other tank shapes, it is advantageous in terms of homogeneous distribution of water in the
tank and no dead spots in the tank. The tank shape is more suitable for the swimming
movement of the fish. It can be produced in various diameters, sizes and depths. Especially in
tanks where there is water discharge in the middle of the bottom of the tank, the conical
bottom will help inedible feeds and fish excrement to collect in the middle and remove away
from the tank. They can be produced from polyester, fiber or PE material.
