Aquaculture
"Aquaculture is the rearing of aquatic organisms under controlled or semicontrolled conditions," or, simply, "aquaculture is underwater agriculture" (Stickney 1994). Ohio Sea Grant funded its first aquaculture project in 1980 to explore productivity in hatchery ponds. Our work in this field has spanned a diverse range of topics: diets and supplements, bait trade, vaccine delivery, and more. As wild stocks grow scarcer and more intensively managed, aquaculture will play an ever-increasing role, and Sea Grant will be there.
