- This federal Project Grant award of $650,000 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program (CFDA 10.212). The funding supports research and development by American Sport Fish Hatchery Management Group LLC to optimize a modified 3-cell split-pond system for the commercial production of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) as a food fish. The project aims to address production...
- The $173,367 project grant from the US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) will fund evaluation of a split-pond system for largemouth bass aquaculture. American Sport Fish Hatchery Management Group LLC will determine if this alternative production method can improve efficiency and profitability compared to traditional earthen ponds. The split-pond system dedicates approximately 20% of pond space for fish production and 80% for water treatment. This is...
- The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded Auburn University a $650,000 project grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program.
