AQUACULTURE STAFF EXPERIENCE
EXPERTISE IN SYSTEMS, SPECIES, RESEARCH & EDUCATION
UWSP Northern Aquaculture Demonstration Facility employs both full-time and part-time staff in addition to hundreds students looking to advance their careers. The facility employs expert staff that have experience in raising over 15 freshwater fish species at all life stages in various systems. Feel free to reach out to any of our staff for research questions, technical assistance, educational opportunities and more.
The UWSP NADF is a leader in information and guidance for the aquaculture community. The facility is paired with professional staff that have been able to also help replace the loss of aquaculture extension in our state giving farmers on-the-farm training, advice and support not available from anywhere else. NADF is the first resource I share with anyone in the industry.
