Here is a link to an abstract from the World Aquaculture Society describing some of our results from the work shown in the photo:

That's awesome, what a great opportunity for school kids!
You are right, my son just turned 2 and is not as interested in the entire system as he is to just smack the tank and watch fish scatter. I wonder what his memories of all this will be? He loves to eat, maybe it will be the future fish fillet dinners. :)
Thank you for posting this, it's very interesting!
All good things in time ;-)
Thank you for the wonderful comment ;-D. That is exactly what we are trying to do. I was working with an outstanding educator Joyce Baldwin and using aquaculture as the core, she was teaching these kids biology, zoology, ecology, micro-biology, botany, mathematics, water chemistry and so much more. One team of kid even made it to compete in the international science fair for their project on tilapia egg development and won a 4th place in the world.
One sad note however. The international science fair is hosted all around the world. But on this year when these children from Sacaton on the Gila River Indian Community earned their chance to go, it was in................ Tucson ;-(. Oh well.
P.S. Your son is in for the time of his life! Just remember however it may not kick in till he is much older. My Youngest who was a baby sitting on my lap trying to take the mouse away while I was typing my dissertation all so long ago, just told me one of her strongest baby memories was going to the fish farm. And so it begins.
What a great picture! Obviously the little guy in the photo is learning a lot and having a good time. :) That's one of the reasons we are doing aquaponics - as a learning experience for our son.
