Forage sorghum is a member of the sorghum family and is closely related to grain sorghum, broomcorn, sorghum-sudangrass, and sudangrass. Forage sorghum is best adapted to warm regions and is particularly noted for its drought tolerance compared to corn. Forage sorghum is best utilized as a silage crop, although it can be grazed or cut for hay if managed appropriately. (https://extension.psu.edu/forage-sorghum)

Technology to farm fish or other aquatic organisms in a closed system where the culture medium (i.e. water) undergoes mechanical and biological filtration to adequately control the environmental parameters through the removal and transformation of the waste produced by the farmed organisms (Bregnballe, J. 2022. A guide to recirculation aquaculture – An introduction to the new environmentally friendly and highly productive closed fish farming systems. Rome, FAO and EUROFISH. https://doi.org/10.4060/cc2390en)
Note
Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are widely used in land-based aquaculture to minimize water use and control water quality parameters. Most recirculating aquaculture systems are closed containment, but not all closed containment systems are RAS.
