Abstract: This invention is an apparatus and process for culturing aquatic animals. The apparatus comprises a container suitable for retaining water; a plurality of platforms vertically spaced from each other located in said container, the platforms being substantially parallel to each other and being designed to allow water to circulate therethrough while at the same time allowing solid food particles when dropped into the platform area to pass therethrough; and a feeding station placed on each of the platforms in a manner so that each feeding station is vertically and horizontally spaced from each adjacent station, has a structure such that the solid food particles are retained on the feeding station, and is substantially the same area as the adjacent feeding station. This apparatus is particularly useful in a closed-loop aquaculture system in combination with a particle settling tank and a biological filter and is further valuable in the process of raising aquatic animals, particularly crustacean, such as macrobrachium rosenbergi.
