Shrimp farming is a major aquaculture industry on the west coast, which produces 3,000 tons annually at 500 festival farms nationwide, but more than 50% of farms are suffering from massive mortality every year due to the recent outbreak of viral diseases. The fundamental blockade of is impossible.

Existing festival shrimp farming is possible once a year (May-October positive, 0.3kg / m2 production) due to the seasonal relations, there is a problem that the productivity is low and always exposed to the risk of mass death by the virus.

To date, circulating filtration has been concentrated mainly on fish, and shrimp production has not been successfully produced. Most of the existing circulating filtration facilities for fish farming require excessive facility investment costs by using biofiltration devices such as trickling filters, fludized bed filters, and submerged filters, and mechanical devices such as microscreen and centrifuge methods. The ratio of 10% to 30% is not suitable for shrimp farming, which requires a relatively large breeding area.

In the conventional biofiltration method, the immersion type fluidized bed filtration method reduces the contact efficiency of the filter material with the organic matter due to the inefficient stirring of the biofilm and the breeding water and the concentration of the filter material in one place. Since the supply and dispersion of (oxygen) is made unevenly, there is a problem that the oxygen shortage phenomenon and the nitrification efficiency are lowered.

In addition, the existing circulating filtration method discharges breeding water of about 5% for the removal of wastes, and there is a problem in that it is difficult to operate and manage due to the use of complicated machinery and motors for moving the breeding water.
