This Spotted Babylon hatchery uses closed water system which is divided into rearing pond, sediment pond, biological filter, sea weed pond  (to reduce water nitrate using the sea weed, Ulva sp.), and finally protein skimmer to reduce protein residual in the water before pumping it back to the rearing pond. In general, spotted Babylon enjoys good farm gate price.
