USDA-ARS Greenhouse Facilities in  Shepherdstown
	Photo 5 : Greenhouse where  lettuce and basil were grown,  up hill from site of fish  production
Photo 6: To make phosphorus  the most limiting nutrient and  thereby maximize P removal, a  liquid fertilizer injector was  used to proportionally  meter in Fe, Mn, Mo,  and K.	Photo 7: Peristaltic pumps were  used precisely meter in the  rainbow trout effluent.	Photo 8 : Young lettuce and  basil seedlings set at inlet side  of Convey Production System.

Photo 9 : Paul Adler examines  3 weeks old lettuce seedlings in  a separate hydroponic system  before they are set in the “conveyor production system”	Photo 10 : Lettuce and basil  plants at effluent end after  24 days in Conveyor Production  System.	Photo 11 : A gradient in lettuce  growth follows the reduction in  nutrient concentration in the  effluent when Conveyor  Production System is not used.
