Issue to be addressed: Aquaculture Program, related to Goal 1, Goal 4 and Goal 5  EFFECTIVE 7/1/04

The aquaculture program is a multidimensional effort to develop and disseminate information concerning the commercial production of aquatic species appropriate or potentially appropriate for production in South Carolina. Research is conducted on freshwater, estuaries and marine species (both fishes and invertebrates).  

Areas of research include the development of systems which will increase the economic viability of fish production and increase competitive margins, enhance water quality and reduce water quantity utilized in production systems, and enhance the design of systems which will enable landowners to profitably engage in aquaculture enterprises.

Specific projects will involve studies on animal health, environmental physiology, mechanical engineering, water quality management, alternative production approaches and production economics.
