Assessing consumer preferences and demand for fish: a market analysis of the Midwest aquaculture industry
- Identify consumer preferences and demand for fish products
- Estimate consumers’ willingness-to-pay for important food safety and quality informational attributes embedded in aquaculture products
- Assess the competitiveness of aquaculture products with regards to food safety versus imported aquaculture products
Energy efficient and sustainable aquaculture water treatment Using microbial fuel cells and membrane-supported biofilms
- Investigate the feasibility of a new treatment process, based on microbial fuel cells and membrane-supported biofilms reactors for removing nitrogen and sulfide in simulated recirculating aquaculture systems wastewater.
- Determine the nitrogen and sulfide removal efficiencies, and levels of electric power production
- Test different reactor configurations under variable loading conditions
Utilization of genomic signatures from Hyalella azteca as a way to quickly evaluate toxicity and need of sediment remediation in the Great Lakes basin
- Use microarrays for the evaluation of gene expression signatures after exposure to different sediment pollutants
- Examine this gene expression after the amphipod Hyalella azteca was exposed to different pollutants commonly found in sediments across the Great Lakes basin
Evaluation of phosphorus loading following a manure spill and an in-stream sediment amendment to reduce phosphorus desorption
- Develop a comprehensive understanding of P and NH4-N partitioning between fluvial sediments and the overlying water column during and following a manure spill
- Determine the effectiveness of the current manure spill remediation plan to mitigate P desorption from manure exposed ditch sediments
- Investigate the influence of sediment particle size distribution on the depth of P contamination as a result of a manure spill under base flow conditions
- Determine adequate application rates of alum and CaCO3 needed to remediate fluvial sediments following a manure spill
- Evaluate the efficacy of the sediment alum treatments following a manure spill
