About
the Aquaculture Facility
The Clemson Aquaculture Facility, founded in 1983, currently
contains 18 fingerling and broodfish catfish
ponds totaling approximately 5 water acres. The facility includes a 4 unit
0.1 acre Partitioned Aquaculture
System (PAS), a 6 unit 2 acre PAS, a single unit 2 acre PAS, a 0.25 acre
greenhouse covered marine PAS, and 9 quarter-acre crayfish ponds. An indoor
system consisting of (4) 1500 gallon tanks has been used to keep winter
Tilapia. Aquaculture cultures crayfish, channel catfish, tilapia, and
mussels for research. Three
professors and six graduate students currently work at the facility on a
daily basis. Several of our undergraduate workers have found aquaculture
interesting enough to earn graduate degrees and continue in the field as a
career.
