#DidYouKnow Alabama produces nearly 30% of all farm-raised catfish in the U.S., and SFAAS plays an important role in sustaining that industry through research and training programs, feeding practices, pond management, fish health, and production methods used by producers today.

Dr. Andrea Tarnecki’s path wasn’t linear. A passion for fish biology led her to microbiology, seafood safety, and directing Auburn's Shellfish Lab in Dauphin Island and supporting oyster farmers from hatchery to harvest across the Gulf. link: www.usaquaculture.org/memberprofil...

Why do students join Auburn University’s SFAAS program? Because from waterways, to ecosystems, to the species in them, students graduate with real experience in aquaculture, fish health, and aquatic management that solve real-world problems in their next steps.

Did you know Micah "Brett" Warren earned the Ashton Cuckler New Investigator Award from the American Society of Parasitologists? It’s one of the society’s highest honors for early-career scientists and awarded only when a researcher’s work meets an exceptional national standard.

Our capacity to do experimental aquatics research is truly unmatched. Get in touch if you have ideas for cool studies, collabs & experiments!

Come join us as Tomas Hook, professor and Head of Purdue University’s Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, leads a seminar for SFAAS. His research program focuses on applied fish ecology in the Laurentian Great Lakes.
