Aquaculture Team Blog

This is a blog has been set up for my aquaculture e-learning students, from Challenger TAFE in Perth (Western Australia) to share their experiences. The aquaculture e-learning students are based off-campus and study aquaculture online using WebCT and Elluminate.

We have regular 2 day workshops, normally on Saturday/Sundays, which gives them the opportunity to practise the practical skills and have their practical skills assessed.

The last practical workshop was conducted in October, 2006 and was based on a trout and marron farm in Mt Barker (approx. 4 hours from Perth). The students had a lovely time learning how to handle, harvest and process marron and trout. This is a picture of Andrew Matthews, another aquaculture lecturer, on our recent field trip.
