What do you mean there aren’t plenty of fish in the sea? That sounds fishy to me! Dr. Kevin Neves shares how groundbreaking aquaculture systems are being created in Northwest Ohio.Thursday, Dec. 17 from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. During a livestream Science Café from Bowling Green State University
With human population and seafood consumption both rapidly increasing, the demand for seafood products has put incredible pressure on wild fisheries. As a result, many species of fish are overfished and alternative sources of seafood products are necessary to meet the demand.
Aquaculture, or fish farming, has been thought to be the solution but is often viewed unfavorably by consumers. New technologies and strategies can be utilized to reduce negative impacts and improve consumer perceptions of aquaculture. A discussion of novel, groundbreaking systems being developed and implemented in Northwest Ohio will show how high quality products with few, if any, negative impacts is shaping a bright future for aquaculture.
