The recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are alternatives for the growth and maintenance of fish on nets tanks. Experiments are being made to develop these systems in commercial scale. The objective of this paper was to design and install a laboratory pilot RAS for Sardinha verdadeira (Sardinella brasiliensis). The sizing of the project focused on the growth phase of the Sardinha verdadeira (20g to 60g). The needs of the system were calculated for a maximum capacity of 16kg m-3 and used the following equipment: 0,15m3 decanter, 1m3 biological filter, pressurized bead filter with capacity of 21m3 h-1, a skimmer with capacity of 16,95m3 h-1 and UV reactor with 40W of potency.
