Thesis (MTech. degree in Architecture: Professional)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2012. / The research facilities will look into methods to improve freshwater fish production and the self-sustainable capabilities thereof. The proposed outcome is to provide fish farms with the necessary information that will help to optimise production by means of the aquacultural production systems and methods. A symbiotic relation between aquaculture and aquaponics were also researched and optimised and the outcome therefore reflected in the proposed building design. These fish farms should then be able to provide food for the surrounding communities as well as create a surplus, which could be retailed across the country. The information centre within the facilities will inform the public of the importance of fresh water fish and food production opportunities. A range of educational courses in aquaculture will be presented at the designed facility, which will serve to educate and enable both subsistence and commercial farmers to start and optimise their businesses.
