The types of aquaculture species that are grown vary greatly. Some are freshwater species, while others prefer a marine, or saltwater, environment.

They will identify key information about the species\u2019 biology, unique features and their historical use in aquaculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Grade Level<\/strong>: 9-12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 2 class periods<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Science Standards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>EEn.2.8.2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Critique the advantages and disadvantages of traditional agriculture\/aquaculture techniques and compare with sustainable agriculture\/aquaculture techniques.
