Description:
AQUA is a computer simulation model used for teaching fish culture concepts. In this model, the student functions as the hatchery manager and must program fish growth, monitor pond loadings, treat diseases and make various calculations concerning the interactions of fish, water, container, nutrition and management using a group of rainbow trout. As the student's objective, a product definition is presented at the beginning of the model and is used as a standard for comparison for feedback comments on how well the student ''grew'' the fish. A handout containing the necessary equations and information for using AQUA proficiently complements the model to guide inexperienced fish health managers. AQUA is currently being used by students of fish culture and disease at the University of Idaho Department of Fisheries Resources to reinforce and apply concepts taught in the classroom.
