Atlantic Salmon

• Farm-raised vs wild catch

• Over-fishing a concern

• Farm-raised associated with pollution– “Floating Pig Farms”

• Anadramous– Born in freshwater– Migrate to salt water to live– Return to fresh water to spawn

Page 6: Aquaculture Species

Trout

• Raised for stocking streams for fishing

• Raised for food less frequently

• Need cool, clean, highly-oxygenated water

• Can’t make it through summers here

Page 7: Aquaculture Species

Oysters

• Native oysters over-harvested

• Farming is a new field

• Need saltwater

Page 8: Aquaculture Species

Blue Crabs

• Rapidly declining populations in the Chesapeake Bay

• Aquaculture being developed for brackish ponds

• Still in research phase

INTRODUCTION TO SAE PROGRAMS

Page 14: Aquaculture Species

• SAEs are a great way to get classroom credit and FFA awards for doing things like exploring careers, earning money and having fun!

Page 15: Aquaculture Species

• An SAE (Supervised Agricultural Experience) is a practical application of classroom concepts designed to provide “real world” experiences and develop skills in agriculturally related career areas.

Page 16: Aquaculture Species

• SAE program consists of:

• Planned activities

• Conducted outside of class time

• Designed to gain hands-on experience

• Develop skills in agricultural career areas

• Subject that interests you.

Page 17: Aquaculture Species

SAE Rewards

– provides an opportunity to explore careers

– allows students to gain experience

– earn money

– improve communication skills in a variety of situations

– develop management skills

– earn FFA Proficiency Awards and advanced FFA degrees

Page 18: Aquaculture Species

• Exploratory-experiencing the “big picture” of agriculture and its many related careers. This type of program is great for beginning students and those who are uncertain about their interest, but others can also benefit.

Page 19: Aquaculture Species

• Research/Experimentation - an SAE where you conduct research using the scientific process. Agriculture is a science-based industry and there are limitless opportunities for research-based SAEs.

Page 20: Aquaculture Species

• Placement - (in some states called internships) in this SAE you work for someone, either for pay or for the experience. These SAEs may be located in agribusinesses, school labs, farms and ranches or in community facilities.

Page 21: Aquaculture Species

• Ownership/Entrepreneurship - this type of SAE makes you a business owner. You plan and operate an agriculturally related enterprise or business.

• livestock, crops, • nursery plants or forest products, • providing a service such as lawn care, • processing agricultural products, • repair, design or fabricating agriculturally related

equipment.

Page 22: Aquaculture Species

• Supplementary Activities- a specific skill learned outside of normal class time that contributes to the agriculture skills and knowledge obtained by the student.

Page 23: Aquaculture Species

• Improvement Activities- a series of learning activities that improve the efficiency, value, use or appearance of the place of employment, home, school or community.
