AQUAPONIC LEARNING LABORATORY (ALL) 

A student built, student run, interdisciplinary facility

Establishing the ALL
From October to the first week of March, members worked to clear out our workspace and build two systems. The club dismantled an SEM machine, computed the system dimensions to build rectangular and octangular bases, cut the boards to size, stained the wood with linseed oil, plumbed the systems, and started growing basil and rearing tilapia, goldfish, and koi.
Presentation about the ALL

The president of the Aquaculture Club, Julia Grenn, was invited to share the club's work at the MSU undergraduate symposium. Her presentation outlines the building process and relevance of this experience. Check out her presentation, which is linked below!

Importance of the ALL

 

The club's faculty advisor secured a grant that paid for the raw materials and building resources for two aquaponic systems. She lacked a workforce to assemble these systems, so she enlisted the help of the Aquaculture Club. The ALL is a unique resource in that a student-led group built and currently maintains this lab space. 

Working Towards Goals

Students worked to clear out the new lab space by dismantling a scanning electron microscope.

Learning Shop Skills

Club members worked with the LSSU Maintenance Crew to cut base boards to size.

Student Collaboration

Students teamed up to assemble the system bases.

Learning Trade Skills

Roger Greil from the CFRE hatchery taught students about plumbing basics.

Professional Development

A group of 6 students and 1 faculty advisor attended the 2020 Aquaculture Conference in Marshfield, WI.

Research Projects

The ALL has lab space and equipment dedicated to student research and thesis projects.
