Quotations: Larry Wolf – If you don’t breach the lagoon, you’ll lose the run of fish. There are arguments both ways. If you breach it too early, the younger fish are going to die because they’re not mature enough and will get sucked out into the ocean, but if there’s a drought year, you’re going to have to open it up during their spawning cycle so they can get into the river.

Ann Wilkie – In covered lagoons, which are less efficient than fixed-film anaerobic digesters, the digestive bacteria float around, making only random contact with the manure particles. In fixed-film digesters, the bacterial growth occurs on the surfaces of the internal media that the waste must flow over, thereby assuring frequent contact. In this way, higher volumes of wastewater can be processed.
