Introduction

Most people don't think about fish when they think of agriculture.  However, aquaculture is a form of agriculture, and there are many comparisons between what farmers and aquaculturists do.  After all, aquaculturists do farm the waters.

The Aquaculture PAC challenges students to explore important aspects in the field of aquaculture. Although an aquarium is not an exact replica of what you might encounter in the natural environment, it exposes students to a simulation of water quality features that would be present in a true aquaculture situation. Students determine why water temperature is a primary factor affecting fish growth in cultured areas, and they conduct hands-on water quality tests to detect pH levels. 

Fish, like all living creatures, need energy.  From where does energy come?  Most energy comes from food.  Students perform feed calculations, and at the same time, they study how fish absorb and digest food.

They will discover how fish use oxygen and why it is necessary to replenish oxygen to avoid depletion, as well as perform feed calculations while studying how fish absorb and digest food.

As an added option to the Aquaculture PAC, you may choose to let your students expand their knowledge by participating in a group cultivation project.  The Aqua-Tech 400 is an exciting addition to the PAC that allows students hands-on experience in the operation and management of their own fish production.  Purchase includes supplemental curriculum activities.
