This paper presents a mathematical model for use in aquaculture, the rearing of aquatic animals in a controlled environment. The model addresses the real‐world strategic planning requirements of an emerging technology as well as the short‐ and long‐term production scheduling requirements of a mature aquaculture facility. A solution procedure for large‐scale problems is described and tested, and an illustrative application is presented.
