Salmon Aquaculture

Teachers planning a marine biology field course at the Huntsman work with the Director of Education, Tracey Dean to develop a unique schedule of field work, labs, and activities to meet the group’s needs.  One of the items available is a presentation on the local Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry.  During this presentation students are introduced to the local industry and then asked to determine pros and cons.  This is an interesting topic of discussion as it helps students to understand where their food comes from and also the background behind this industry.
