Aquaculture Production Research

Aquaculture is a big business in Alabama, contributing more than $160 million to the state’s economy each year.

Aquatic Animal Health Research

Protecting farmed and wild fish stocks from diseases.

Aquatic Ecology s aquatic diversity including springs, swamps, streams, rivers, reservoirs, small impoundments, natural ponds, estuaries and the Gulf of Mexico.

Alabama citizens use these rich water resources for drinking and other household uses, hydroelectric power, irrigation, agriculture, industry and recreation. Approximately 77,000 miles of rivers and streams, 50,000 small impoundments, and 42 large reservoirs are found within the state boundaries, and the Mobile basin yields more water per unit drainage area than any other river in the United States.

Underlying these abundant water resources is a diverse physiography that has resulted in the evolution of the most diverse aquatic fauna of any state in North America. In addition, Alabama provides a spectacular recreational fishery in both freshwater and marine systems.

EXPERTISE RESEARCH INTERESTS

Sustainable use of aquatic resources is a global and state issue. Balancing the needs of expanding human population with the need for preserving water quality and aquatic fauna requires a fundamental understanding of these resources gained through research.

Aquaculture produces abundant food in both freshwater and marine systems, and seafood is harvested from freshwater and coastal resources.

FAAS experts provide sound research information that is used to educate Alabama policy makers and citizens as well as the scientific community to better manage and conserve aquatic resources. By serving Alabama and providing a research foundation for the wise use of our aquatic resources we are also providing a model for the global community.
