From salmon hatcheries to new mariculture industries like kelp and oyster farms, the possibilities for aquaculture in Alaska abound. A new semester-long program at the University of Alaska Southeast will provide hands-on, in-person training to students from around the state and the country who are interested in pursuing aquaculture as a career. UAS Fisheries Technology professor Angie Bowers joined KCAW’s Erin Fulton on the Morning Interview to talk about the program and how prospective students can join.
