Did You Know?

Aquaculture, the farming of fish and seafood in captivity, dates back centuries, but states such as New Jersey are investing today to encourage high-tech, large-scale commercial versions. Rutgers’ Multispecies Aquaculture Demonstration Facility, located in Cape May, is being used to support research and training related to the development of aquaculture as a large-scale New Jersey industry. The complex, managed by Rutgers’ Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences (IMCS), consists of a series of indoor tanks and outdoor ponds for raising shellfish, an indoor hatchery facility, and a pumping station to supply saltwater needs. Rutgers’ Haskin Shellfish Research Laboratory, an element of IMCS, has a more than 100-year tradition of disseminating research results and working cooperatively with state and federal agencies and the fisheries and aquaculture communities in southern New Jersey. The laboratory generates and disseminates research information directly applicable to all aspects of fisheries and aquaculture science, concentrating on species of commercial importance to New Jersey
