In this film Emma Wiermaa helps us understand the basic types of aquaculture systems and how they work. The film provides a basic overview of common aquaculture systems including ponds, raceways (flow-through), recirculating, and aquaponics. Some of the systems shown are those located at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point Northern Aquaculture Demonstration Facility. Other commercial farms and facilities are also utilized to explain various systems, and are highlighted in the ending credits. This is a much watch for anyone who would like to gain a baseline understanding of aquaculture and enhance their knowledge of potential system types that have been shown to be successful in the Midwest. 

This film was produced for the Great Lakes Aquaculture Day as part of the Great Lakes Aquaculture Collaborative, project funded by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Find more info at:https://greatlakesseagrant.com/aquaculture
