Here is a controversial take.... growing plants in water, without soil ( #hydroponics ) is #aquaculture!!! I can can grow fish, shellfish and even algae and nobody would have an issue but when its a vascular plant, people seem to take issue. Check out my #greenhouse!

I am always looking for new methods to share my #aquaculture activities. I hosted a #sturgeon #Caviar and #Champange event at the Robert Mondavi Institute. Instead of producing a video I brought in a graphic artist (www.graphicrecordingstudio.com) to record the event in real time.

The day before #Aquaculture America 2025, I was giving a tour of a #fishfarm and "supervising" the transport of white #sturgeon. #Fish transportation is one of the most stressful activities for fish and good #animalwelfare during this process is critical for fish health.

I've had a busy few weeks leading up to #aquaculture america 2025. I had the opportunity to survey black #abalone. We are working towards the conservation of #endangeredspecies such as abalone which are giant #seasnails. This is some of the best tidepooling I've experienced in my whole life.

I attended a dinner at the #Aquaculture America 2025 conference hosted by the F3 Future of Fish Feed Network (f3fin.org/about/). This year's awards went to two businesses working to replace #krill in #fishdiets.

Jennifer Bowman presented a talk on improving #zebrafish #animalwelfare at #Aquaculture America 2025. Did you know that zebrafish are one of the most utilized animals in biomedical research?

@abalonequeen.bsky.social Chaired the gastropod session and gave a talk on the use of #ultrasound to improve #animalwelfare and spawning success in #abalone. Were you aware that red abalone are a giant #seasnail which are 1 of 7 abalone found off our California coastline?

My First Post!!!! After flight delays, I finally made it home from #Aquaculture America 2025 in NOLA. Thought I'd share some off my labs activities from the conference. We gave 7 talks, presented 1 poster, chaired 2 sessions, won 1 award, and ate tons of farmed #seafood. How was your meeting?
