Aquaculture/Fisheries Center - Extension

Aquaculture Equipment Development

     The UAPB Aquaculture and Fisheries Center is committed to developing new and improved technologies to benefit our stakeholders.  The Aquaculture Equipment Development program grew out of an industry need for improved harvesting, handling and grading technologies. 

     Over the past 10 years, this program has resulted in the development of an Up-Flow Fish Grading System, the UAPB In-Pond Fish Grader, an improved Reel System and Crowder Boat design, the development of the “Seinitizer” to disinfect commercial seines between harvesting events, the development of a flexible panel grading system, and oxygen systems for hatchery facilities.

     For more information about these and other on-going projects, please contact Extension Aquaculture Specialist, David Heikes.
