Abstract:

Aquaculture programs are appearing throughout eastern North Carolina, where fish farmers grow everything from catfish, hybrid striped bass and tilapia in ponds and tanks, to clams and oysters offshore. High schools are integrating aquaculture into the curriculum to teach students about this growing sector of agriculture. Students learn how to build and maintain the culture system, while applying their skills in science and math.
