Sustainable Aquaculture System Technologies


Environmentally controlled tank systems Water recycle systems to conserve water resources and reduce environmental impact Integrated systems that produce both fish & plants

Marine Aquaculture
Mote Aquaculture Research Park Design and test sustainable marine aquaculture systems for inland applications Develop culture techniques for marine fishes (pompano, snook, red snapper, red drum) and invertebrates (hard corals, conch) to restore declining stocks

Snook Captive Breeding Research


20 years of research led to success in captive maturation and spawning of snook 2006/2007 Possible keys to success
large breeding tanks controlled temperature and lighting addition of moon cycle induced spawning

Bottlenecks in Maturing & Spawning Captive Common Snook


Inconsistent production of high quality eggs & larvae Females fail to ovulate Poor fertilization rate Identifying optimal male to female sex ratio
An international team of scientists and students are working to address these bottlenecks: Nicole R. Rhody - PhD candidate University of Stirling, Scotland, UK Dr. Kevan Main Center for Aquaculture Research and Development Mote Marine Laboratory, USA Dr. Herve Migaud Institute of Aquaculture (IOA) Reproduction & Genetics Group University of Stirling, Scotland, UK
