Aerial view of TAREC.A recently completed aquaculture facility, encompassing approximately 8,600 square feet and containing two recirculation systems used to house aquatic organisms in freshwater or saltwater, is now in operation at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
The Tuahine Aquaculture Research and Education Center (TAREC) was established as a partnership between the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR) and UH Sea Grant College Program (Hawaiʻi Sea Grant).
“Ultimately, through a versatile and integrated system design capable of providing animals with a range of environmental conditions, the main goal of TAREC is to provide a platform for integrated research, extension and education activities that address aquaculture industry needs and funding agency priorities while supporting workforce development,” said CTAHR Human Nutrition, Food and Animal Science Professor Andre Seale, who spearheaded the project.
