The Freshwater Institute recently taught its annual Water Reuse for Intensive Fish Culture Short Course in Bar Harbor, Maine. Students from across the United States, as well as from Canada and Chile, attended lectures on such topics as recirculation system design, water quality, biofiltration, gas conditioning, and biosecurity, and toured local facilities including the USDA’s new Northeast Cold Water Marine Aquaculture Center in Franklin, Maine.

Please check back for details on the next short course which will be held in 2010.
