The document discusses the topic of sustainable aquaculture and outlines some of the environmental impacts of aquaculture such as habitat loss, pollution, and escape of non-native species. It notes that aquaculture production has been increasing globally but that sustainability can be improved by practices like proper site selection, reducing overfeeding, and growing native species. The document also suggests actions individuals can take to support more sustainable seafood choices and aquaculture practices.

This presentation shows what is aquaculture, the different methods of aquaculture, and why aquaculture is important. Aquaculture benefits the oceans, economy, and environment. It maintains the health of our oceans, lessens the severity of overfishing, and reduces the transfer of diseases in sea creatures. It is a form of agriculture for those regions with poor soils and farming lands. In addition, aquaculture improves the health of the people by incorporating seafood into their diet.

Standard water quality requirements and management strategies for fish farmin...eSAT Journals
A study on standard water quality requirements and management strategies suitable for fish farming is presented. The water quality criteria studied based on physical, chemical and biological properties of water include temperature, turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solid (TDS), nitrate- nitrogen, pH, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total hardness. Water samples from Otamiri River in Imo state, Nigeria, were analyzed based on the afore-mentioned criteria to assess its suitability as a source of water for fish farming. The results of the analysis compared with international standards revealed that the river temperature of 26.90C, nitrate-nitrogen value of 0.015 mg/l and total suspended solids of 18.60 mg/l fall within the acceptable range for fish farming. However, the pH of 5.82, total hardness of 5.8 mg/l, total dissolved solids of 13.60 mg/l and biochemical oxygen demand of 0.6 mg/l all differed slightly from the standard recommended values. This study will aid fish farmers on the necessary treatment needed to effectively use water from this source for fish farming.
Keywords: Water quality criteria, Otamiri River, biochemical oxygen demand, total suspended and total dissolved solids.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

20. What can
you do?
• Make ocean-friendly
seafood choices
o Avoid unsustainable seafood
in the grocery store or
restaurants
o Ask, where your seafood
came from!
o Try to eat locally grown
seafood (Regional)
o Spread the word!
The world consumes a lot of fish! In the US, 16.5 lbs of seafood per person per year is consumed!!! AND the US imports over half of all of the seafood it consumes. On a global scale in 2010 the total production of seafood equaled 148.5 million tons!
And that is good… right? Because fish is good for you… right? The institute of medicine and about every other dietary organization recommends a diet rich in seafood, because it is a heart healthy source of protein, with lean meat. But is all Seafood safe to eat?
Polychlorinated biphenyl: banned in US in 2001, organic pollutant.
What about Mercury and PCBs?
Pacific Tuna with levels of radiation? As a result of Fukushima?
So… Is it good for you? Can anybody guess what the answer is?...YES with Moderation. Anything is good for you in moderation. Most of these pollutants bioaccumulate, meaning the older you get the more inert molecules persist within your body. Becomes a problem when you eat a lot in a short amount of time, or if you are pregnant or nursing, or for very young children.
So sounds good… people eat a lot of fish, and fish is in moderation really good for you… so what’s the problem?
Population continues to increase, demand for seafood will continue to rise. In just over 50 years the million tons of fish consumed has quadrupled!
Bottom line, we have gotten really good at catching fish, and a lot of them! In Fact we have gotten TOO GOOD.
Diadromous Fishes: migrate between salt and freshwater (example salmon).
Ask them to list a few examples of each.
Maybe, but if so, we need to address some environmental impacts that are very common with most aquaculture systems.
