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
