There's nothing that could be negative enough not to come here. As you're walking, you just randomly see people. I'm super pumped to see what Kessil is going to be able to do in some of the tanks that we have here for its aquatics. No matter where you go in here, you're going to find stuff that you know or things you didn't and you're excited about. There's at the back Pleco Paradise up close and personal. How about Mike's Cichlids bringing the heat all the way from Florida? What a killer place. Then what would a show be without the energy of Dustin's Fishtank? Although, I think he is hydrating right now because he just goes nonstop on the cardboard. If you have never seen his stuff, you've got to check out the Aquascaping Collective because they're doing stuff that is on some other level. When you're looking to be scaping on a completely different level, there's somebody that's local to me that I really haven't met, but it's Cory. If you love shrimp, it's simply phenomenal. We've got an American shrimp competition that they have done some amazing things with putting this show on. Now, we've got Fritz Aquatics who are rocking these killer flight suits. Why have you decided not to show up to this thing?

You have Current, you have ADG, right as you walk in. What I mean by that is people and things. From the moment you walk in, there is a ton of awesome stuff. It's like going to the airport and not buying tickets, and hopefully, you're going to get to your favorite destination. I'm telling you, you have to pre-buy your tickets. Spread the word, let's get it done, and let's learn a little bit about bacteria.

At three o'clock, there's a mini-auction and stuff. Kennedy High School in Glenmont, Maryland. It's going to be for the Capital Cichlid Association. California.Jay Wilson: I'm giving my first ever talk on bacteria. This work is being done in conjunction with United Anglers of So. Soft anaerobic bottoms can add significant oxygen demand to the water column adding to “dead zone” problems and polluted sediment can transfer pollutants such as DDT’s and PCB to the planktonic algae then on to the food chain. The impacts seem to depend upon the type of sediments being mixed into the water column by the trawl nets. It turns out that the amount of suspended solids pollution in the oceans of the world from this source is much greater than all other man made sources of suspended solids, yet there is very little scientific literature on the impacts of these very large suspended solids flows on the marine environment. Weaver is semi-retired and pursuing an interest in the suspended solids (SS) pollution from bottom trawling activities. Consulting assignments for other consulting engineering firms related to water pollution, ground water contamination and related issues are another major area of consulting activity.Īt the present time, Dr. These consulting assignments include water treatment and hatchery system for shrimp/fish hatcheries, maturation systems and broodstock growout systems. Weaver does undertake consulting assignments in the aquaculture and waste treatment areas that he finds interesting or state of the art. Side issues like rotifer mass production (billion+ per day continuous, stable culture system design) along with various waste treatment issues like contaminated ground water (MTBE contamination) were also solved.ĭr. The invention of fine media fluidized bed biofilters for both waste treatment and aquaculture, the application of packed column re-aeration in aquaculture, the use of pure oxygen system with feedback control in aquaculture, the design development and use of automated feeding system, the use of low cost lime based pH feedback control systems are among the many firsts for Dr. Weaver has been conducting research on water treatment systems for industry and aquaculture and been able to explore a number of different possible approaches. This business produced over 20,000,000 fish per year for the research and pet markets in highly automated recycle system (both fresh water and marine).Īs part of the above business, Dr.

Weaver began designing and building closed aquaculture systems with the intent of creating the technology necessary to build a business that can compete with existing Asian tropical fish producers.
