Aquaculture

Aquaculture provides students and researchers at the Agricultural Campus with over 8100 square feet of well-equipped teaching laboratories and aquatic rearing facilities.

Reliable freshwater and seawater sources, along with modern mechanical systems, allow for precise environmental control, enabling students and researchers to work with a wide variety of species, from cold-water marine fish and shellfish to tropical freshwater fish.

Aquaculture houses a teaching lab, a dry lab, two wet labs and an algal production lab.
