will provide the fundamentals of setting up and
maintaining a farm-based tank system to raise
bass, tilapia, trout, panfish, or baitfish in a
recirculating system.  Ted Universal of the NYS
Aquaculture Association will explain the key
elements of tank aquaculture, basic engineering &
plumbing, and setting up effective biofiltration
and aeration contols.  Jim Kennedy of Willow Pond
Aqua Farm will review appropriate fish species
and water quality conditions, and share the
applicable marketing and regulations that come with
small-scale aquaculture.

Course fee: $25 per person, includes both
sessions and a detailed take-home information packet.
