Yes, fish can develop issues if they are constantly swimming in one circular direction. You may be able to avoid this with a large enough tank, but most tanks aren't that large. This paper expresses a few issues with round tanks and I have personally witnessed scoliosis caused by swimming long term, in the same direction, in circular tanks.

You should check out mixed cell raceways. Also, read Recirculating Aquaculture by M.B. Timmons and J.M. Ebeling. I took a short course from them, in Maine. I aslo have a MS in aquculture/aquatic science. Hope this helps.

I used this as a reference in my Aquaculture class.
It isn't meant to be read as a book, but would be a helpful reference in the future.
With zero aquaculture knowledge, I'd start studying some texts to give yourself an edge over other potential employees, there is a lot going on a farm, far more than what most people would anticipate.
For Aquaculture Technologies, research: [AKVA] (http://www.akvagroup.com/home) These guys seem to be the leading suppliers of technologies all over the world.
For an Introduction to recirculating aquaculture, research: Timmons' Book This book is basically the aquaculture bible.
It's not very difficult to learn the basic types of filters and systems, just spend a little time reading.
