Research

At the Center for Cooperative Aquaculture Research, we support the development of new technologies for farming a wide variety of aquatic animals. Most of our projects are driven by the needs of the aquaculture industry and are carried out in partnership with commercial businesses.

Faculty from the University of Maine often serve as lead or collaborating researchers, and we work with a wide range of institutions both in Maine and beyond.

Our research covers a broad range of topics, including how to raise aquatic species more effectively, design better farming systems, improve nutrition and health, and reduce environmental impacts.
