So, we (and by we, I mean Ruby Krasnow) have been trying to get a little more quantitative about characterizing opposition to aquaculture...one really interesting tidbit is how much more difficult it becomes when asking for more than around 10-12 acres. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Come to the Darling Marine Center on August 6th to hear about how UMaine is supporting the BLUE ECONOMY...seats are limited!!! umaine.edu/inspire/umai...

The folks at Vertical Bay and our lab, specifically, the great Christopher Noren, just published an in depth technoeconomic analysis of sea scallop aquaculture with an emphasis on optimizing lease space through ear hanging: lnkd.in/eT596daF

Decades after Stan Allen developed triploid eastern oysters at the University of Maine's Darling Marine Center (lnkd.in/eh7mUfSF), Thomas Kiffney continues the legacy today with a new paper on triploid performance at the northern end of the species' range! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

International vibes at the lab this week!. Adam St. Gelais and Sara Lacourciere presenting "Gametophytes to offshore farms: The applied seaweed aquaculture research program at the University of Maine" at Incheon University in South Korea!!!

Congratulations to Shane Farrell for a successful dissertation defense!! It has been a real honor to co-advise Shane with Doug Rasher!

Terrific story covering Christopher Noren's recent work! umaine.edu/news/blog/20...

Very excited to share that a graduate student in our lab and the great Doug Rasher’s group, Shane Farrell, just published the cover article in Science this week! Thanks you Brian Skerry for the cover photo too!! www.science.org/journal/scie...

Yo yo yo! the great Christopher Noren has a new paper out! Learn more about sea scallop growth rates in lantern nets versus ear hanging! authors.elsevier.com/c/1klooACeYN...
