There are a lot of good reasons for an education in the growing field of today's Aquaculture Industry! |

|
The Aquaculture Industry in the United States is still steadily gaining momentum and importance. |
|
|
According to the Western Regional Aquaculture Center's annual report, "production rose to 859 million pounds valued at $828 million in 1995. It is expected that with the continued growth in many sectors of the industry, the aquaculture farm gate value could reach $1 billion in the near future." Aquaculture currently produces about 15 percent of the U.S. supply of fresh fish and seafood. |
|
|
|
Aquaculture has become one of the fastest-growing segments in American agriculture today. |
|
|
This rapid growth of the aquaculture industry has created a strong demand for properly trained technicians in both the private and public sectors. The Aquaculture Technician Program offered by Trinidad State Junior College -- Valley Campus, is designed for students who wish to gain technician, entry-level skills specific to fish culture and fish farm management. |
