On Monday, Northumberland High School Aquaculture students went to the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS, Gloucester Point) to learn about "all-things-oysters". They visited the Acuff Center to learn about spawning oysters and feeding the resulting larvae with algae until large enough to "strike" on substrate. They are then transferred to small tanks called "upwellers" until they are moved to the river to grow into adults. Finally, they are sorted and shucked for dinner!

Students also visited the VIMS Histology Lab, where they learned about oyster diseases.

On Wednesday, students from NHS's Aquaculture class traveled to Virginia State University's Randolph Farm to tour the aquaculture program. There, they visited grow-out ponds for catfish and striped bass, where several students were invited to feed them. Students toured the aquaculture barn where juvenile striped bass are being grown to the pond transfer size, then on to the aquaponics greenhouse where tilapia are grown to provide nutrients for raising plants such as tomatoes, lettuce, and ginger. NHS's Aquaculture class is very hands-on and experiential, with more field trips to come
