Positive Feedback from Students
Attendee, Kevin Savage, a High School Science Instructor from Cincinnati, commented, "I wanted to drop you a short note to thank you for the UWSP Introduction to Aquaponics course this past spring.  It was a great learning experience for me, and thoroughly enjoyed the online experience.  I am glad that I opted for including the lab portion in Montello - I am a visual/kinesthetic learner and the hands-on activities helped solidify things in my mind."
Developed in Partnership: UWSP and Nelson and Pade, Inc
The course was developed jointly by Chris Hartleb, UW-Stevens Point Professor of Biology, and Rebecca Nelson and John Pade of Nelson and Pade, Inc., a Montello-based company specializing in aquaponics technology, systems and training. Aquaponics is the cultivation of fish and plants together in a constructed, re-circulating ecosystem that utilizes natural bacterial cycles to convert fish waste to plant nutrients.
Registration open for Spring 2014 Semester
The next offering for this course is the spring, 2014 semester.  The lectures run from late February – early May and take place online, each with a self-study session followed by a live chat with one of the three instructors. The hands-on lab sessions for the three credit course are held in May at Nelson and Pade Inc.’s demonstration greenhouse in Montello, WI.
“This private/public partnership and the resulting UW-Stevens Point aquaponics course is a new stage in the development of the aquaponics industry and in providing comprehensive training in aquaponics at the university level,” said Hartleb.
Course Content
The course covers an introduction to and history of aquaponics, applications and benefits, system components, water quality dynamics, environmental control, plant crop choices and plant biology, fish selection and fish biology, integrated pest management and biosecurity, daily operation and record keeping, good agricultural practices, economics of aquaponics and marketing.
Open to All - Students from Around the World
The course is open to students at UWSP as well as students from other colleges and universities anywhere in the world, through UWSP Continuing Education. Registration is through UWSP Continuing Education Office.
