Growth Characteristics Of Newly Isolated Indonesian Microalgae Under Diferent Salinity, Michael A. Rice, Wa Iba, Gary H. Wikfors, Lucie Maranda Nov 2018

Growth Characteristics Of Newly Isolated Indonesian Microalgae Under Diferent Salinity, Michael A. Rice, Wa Iba, Gary H. Wikfors, Lucie Maranda

Michael A Rice

The aim of this study was to investigate the growth characteristics of microalgae strains isolated from
Kendari Bay and the Wanggu River estuary, Indonesia. The growth of the isolates, denoted as Kb1-2, Kb1-
3, Kb1-5, and Kb2-6, were evaluated under controlled conditions. A batch culture experiment of these
strains except Kb2-6 was conducted for 15 days under salinity levels of 20, 25, 30 and 35 gL-1. Tetraselmis
chui, Tisochrysis lutea and Chaetoceros neogracile were also culture and used as the growth references. Cell
density was measured every day and cell size was measured from 50 live cells during the …


Ponds For Peace: A Collaborative Aquaculture Project In Liberia, Joseph Buttner Nov 2018

Ponds For Peace: A Collaborative Aquaculture Project In Liberia, Joseph Buttner

Joseph Buttner

Since 2012, Salem State University (SSU) and the United Methodist University of Liberia (UMU) have pursued aquaculture as part of a larger, broader collaboration to help nurture a sustainable peace in Liberia. The ongoing initiative recognizes that requisites to a sustainable peace include access to education, health care, jobs and food, particularly in rural (upcountry) Liberia. Liberians have a tradition of fishing, eating fish and aquaculture, providing a receptive audience and opportunity to expand production and impact (Fig. 1). Aquaculture training can be pursued without having to create interest or a market. The UMU network of campuses and the United …


Freshwater Aquaculture And Its Permitting In Rhode Island: Two Case Studies, Michael A. Rice, Joseph B. Haberek, David Beutel Nov 2018

Freshwater Aquaculture And Its Permitting In Rhode Island: Two Case Studies, Michael A. Rice, Joseph B. Haberek, David Beutel

Michael A Rice

In Rhode Island permits to conduct aquaculture, including freshwater aquaculture, are issued by the Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) as the designated lead agency by state law. However, by Rhode Island law, aquaculture is considered a form of agriculture. It is the responsibility and duty of the state aquaculture coordinator in CRMC to receive aquaculture applications and coordinate the review of these applications through the multiple federal, state and local agencies that hold regulatory jurisdiction. Since most freshwater aquaculture is conducted on private lands rather than in public trust waters of the state, there is no leasing review. If the …

The Shellfish Corner: The Promises Of Aquaculture And Caveat Emptor, Michael A. Rice Jul 2018

The Shellfish Corner: The Promises Of Aquaculture And Caveat Emptor, Michael A. Rice

Michael A Rice

For at least five decades in America there has been a fascination about aquaculture as a means to "feed the world" in a sustainable way. Periodic reporting by the popular press has generated excitement about the potential of aquaculture among the general public and often this excitement often leads to unrealistic expectations and engagement in unsound business decision making by the novices in the field. Aquaculture entrepreneurs and investors are urged to exercise good judgement by sticking with with fundamentally sound business planning while maintaining realistic business expectations.


The Shellfish Corner: Shellfish Aquaculture In The Commons, Michael A. Rice Mar 2018

The Shellfish Corner: Shellfish Aquaculture In The Commons, Michael A. Rice

Michael A Rice

The major common denominator of shellfish aquaculture in coastal or estuarine waters worldwide is that most culture operations are conducted in common or public trust waters, necessitating constant interaction in the political arena with other competing interests. As a matter of practicality, the best systems for managing aquaculture lease policy in an equitable manner are on a local enough scale to facilitate stakeholder involvement, and to allow aquaculturists to organize into professional trade organizations so that the collective interest of the industry is heard in the process.


The Shellfish Corner: Cap And Trade Systems With Shellfish May Be Good For The Economic Bottom Line, Michael A. Rice Dec 2017

The Shellfish Corner: Cap And Trade Systems With Shellfish May Be Good For The Economic Bottom Line, Michael A. Rice

Michael A Rice

The development of a traditional form of Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) in the Dagupan City Estuary system in the Philippines is based upon different producers each focusing on individual species rather than individual producers producing multiple species with very different market values. The long-term success of such a system requires attention to local marine spatial planning and enforcement of caps on forms of feed-based (net pen or fish cage) aquaculture systems.
