ABSTRACT:

Student Authors: Maddy Cunningham, Dana Del Vecchio, Kevin Delaney, John DiLoreto, Simon Mann-Gow, & Sarah Tarika. Advisors: Amanda Lilleston and Thiago Soligo. The Cape Eleuthera Institute (CEI) and the Island School have been working to create an intensive complete aquaculture system. The fish used in the system are cobia (Rachycentron canadum), a fast-growing pelagic fish with high market value. This semester the aquaculture research group implemented cleaning organisms that could potentially clean the cobia in a more sustainable manner.
