An electronic device detects the presence of an animal such as a pet in a protected area and outputs a deterrent signal that preferably includes the voice of the pet's owner admonishing the animal. The animal is detected by sensing at least one of sound, heat, vibration, and motion. The deterrent signal may include loud noises, and signals audible to the animal but not to humans. The deterrent signal may also include bursts of light. The device can vary the nature and quality of the deterrent signal if the animal remains near the protected area for a predetermined time.

The method of claim 1, wherein the aquaculture system comprises a closed recirculating system. 30. The method of claim 1, wherein the harvested adult aquatic specie is shrimp. 31. The method of claim 1, further comprising positioning habitat structures within the aquatic specie subsystem for increasing the number of aquatic specie in the subsystem. 32. A method for producing adult aquatic specie in an aquaculture system, comprising: growing algae in saltwater; feeding the algae to artemia in saltwater; producing artemia by the artemia in saltwater; feeding the algae and the artemia to an immature aquatic specie in saltwater to produce adult aquatic specie; and harvesting the adult aquatic specie from the saltwater when mature. 33. The method of claim 32, wherein the step of growing algae comprises: illuminating the algae in the saltwater by a light source; controlling a temperature of the algae in the saltwater by a heat source; regulating a CO2 inflow to control pH of the saltwater; replenishing saltwater lost due to evaporation and leakage; regulating a saltwater return inflow for controlling algae outflow; and measuring pH, algae density, temperature, light output, dissolved oxygen and micronutrients. 34. The method of claim 32, wherein the step of feeding the algae to artemia in saltwater comprises: providing an inflow of algae and saltwater into the artemia in saltwater; controlling a temperature of the algae and artemia in saltwater by a heat source; regulating an oxygen inflow to control dissolved oxygen; regulating a saltwater return inflow for controlling artemia, algae, waste and saltwater outflow; and measuring pH, algae density, temperature, ammonia, dissolved oxygen, waste, and artemia density. 35. The method of claim 32, wherein the step of producing artemia by the artemia in saltwater comprises: consuming algae by the artemia to generate artemia; filtering the algae, artemia, waste and saltwater through a screen that allows the algae, smaller artemia, waste and saltwater to pass as an outflow while restraining the larger artemia. 36. The method of claim 32, wherein the step of feeding the algae and the artemia to an immature aquatic specie in saltwater to produce adult aquatic specie comprises: providing an inflow of algae, artemia, waste and saltwater to the immature aquatic specie in saltwater; controlling a temperature of the algae, artemia, waste and saltwater by a heat source; regulating an oxygen inflow to control dissolved oxygen; regulating a saltwater return inflow for controlling artemia, algae, waste and saltwater outflow; measuring aquatic specie density, aquatic specie size, pH, algae density, temperature, ammonia, dissolved oxygen
