Algae Cultivation Extension Short-courses Part 2: Microalgae
About
Algae Cultivation Extension Short-courses (ACES) Part 2 Version 2.0 covers microalgae cultivation in a short course modeled after a real college-level course. This section aims to help the algae biomass industry enhance their skills and techniques. It enables companies to find individuals with some aquaculture knowledge who need to learn the basics of cultivating large quantities of microalgae. These techniques are very similar to those needed to grow phytoplankton for shellfish. All shellfish hatcheries rely on unicellular phytoplankton to grow brood-stock and to feed larval and post-set shellfish. All businesses, including research facilities that rear shellfish from the spawning stage to the grow-out stage must have a trained person that can grow phytoplankton. This course can assist in providing the necessary techniques and basic education for both industries. The microalgae component is a shortened online version of the ATEC curriculum developed at Santa Fe Community College.
