E.  aFeasibility of retention structures, settling basins, and best Management practices in effluent regulation for Alabama Channel catfish farming.h[electronic resource]  c2001  aABSTRACT: The United States Environmental Protection Agency has initiated rule making for aquaculture effluents. The contents of the rule will not be finalized until June 2004, but effluent containment in retention structures, effluent treatment in settling basins, and best management practices have been components of rules for other animal production facilities. The main aquaculture activity in Alabama is pond culture of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus). Fish are harvested with seines, and it is not necessary to drain ponds more than once in 5 to 10 years. Thus, effluents result mainly from storm overflow in winter and early spring. Catfish ponds in Alabama cannot be operated without effluent. A retention structure of enormous size would be necessary to retain storm overflow without discharge.  aEnvironmental management  aWater quality  aChannel catfish  aPond aquaculture1 aQUEIROZ, J.
