Readies for Cornell's Recirculating Aquaculture Short Course
On July 25th, 2008, Gregorio will fly to Virginia Tech for Cornell University's Recirculating Aquaculture Short Course: "This course is intended to give a thorough coverage of the design,
operation, and management of water reuse systems for finfish (limited
coverage of indoor shrimp production). Dr. Michael B. Timmons
of the Cornell Aquaculture Program and Dr. James Ebeling of Aquaculture
Systems Technology, New Orleans, LA) will teach the course. A
combination of laboratory demonstrations and classroom presentations
will be offered. At the conclusion of the workshop, individuals should
be able to design their own water reuse systems and have a fundamental
knowledge of the principles influencing design decisions." The following
topics will be addressed:
- Water quality monitoring and measurement
- Engineering design of individual unit processes
- System management
- Fish health management
- Economic and risk evaluation
- Tours of local aquaculture facilities (Tentative)
- Indoor Shrimp
