  ATP 2000 High School Aquaculture Systems

In the last 10 years more than 50 high schools have incorporated aquaculture into their classrooms with our ATP 2000 rearing unit and curriculum. The package includes a 5 ft. diameter, 300 gallon circular tank, biofilter, water and air pumps, plumbing supplies, fish (tilapia) and food. Student manuals and a teacher handbook detailing the construction of the system and care of the fish are included. Access to the Fisheries and Wildlife Department staff, workshops and technical support are also provided to system owners. Agriculture, biology, earth science, environmental studies, technology and horticulture teachers have integrated these systems successfully in their classrooms.

This educational unit has been very successful; making aquaculture one of the most readily adopted new high school curricula in the last 10 years. For more questions on ATP 2000, to purchase tilapia or the curriculum please call Kevin Poole at (518) 234-4606.
