A NASA-developed artificial intelligence tool uses satellite data to detect harmful algal blooms in US coastal waters.

“At the very least, a tool like this can help us know where and when to collect water samples as an algal bloom is starting,” said Michelle Gierach, a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and co-author of the study. “It can also drive collaboration between specialists, fostering new ways to conduct the science and deliver decision-support products.”

Queen conch eggs hatch at almost exactly 9:00 p.m., in the Queen Conch Lab's experience, together, in near-perfect synchronicity.

Dr. Megan Davis shares the incredible story of discovering the species’ remarkably consistent hatch timing, from late-night observations to watching thousands of larvae emerge through tiny “trapdoors” hidden inside the egg strands.

The latest Aquademia Podcast episode explores how the Florida Atlantic University Queen Conch Lab's restoration aquaculture, mobile hatcheries and community partnerships are helping revive queen conch populations across the Caribbean.

In remote regions like the Caribbean and Japan, producers focus on local resources, novel feed ingredients and byproducts:

“During my work as an aquaculture consultant, it became clear that access to suitable feed was a major challenge, with farmers often relying on chicken feed, fish scraps, crop leaves and other agricultural byproducts,” Mia Avril of the University of Plymouth in the UK and the Cape Eleuthera Institute in the Bahamas told the Advocate. “Even on islands like Saint Lucia, where feed pellets can be produced locally, key inputs – including corn, wheat, coconut and fish – are imported. This prompted me to explore whether locally available materials could replace imported ingredients. Our research is applicable across the Caribbean, as the proposed ingredients are widely available regionally.”

New approaches could enable aquafeeds made from local ingredients to reduce reliance on feed imports and support aquaculture.

Some days on the water are chaotic, other days feel kind of magical, and some are a little bit of both!

Harvesting sugar kelp and then watching it turn into something students are actually building and selling is a pretty cool full-circle moment.

The most recent episode of the Aquademia Podcast gets into the SeaMade Kelp Bar project at the University of New England, where students aren’t just learning about aquaculture, they’re running a business. From harvesting and production to branding and regulation, it’s all hands-on.
