Nick will take us through all aspects of Sustainable Freshwater
Aquaculture; Commercial & traditional aquaculture, planning & making ponds
& dams, water quality & technology, feeding, breeding & harvesting,
permits, aquariums, polyculture & aquatic life (fishes, plants, crayfish &
prawns). We’ll also look into backyard aquaponics and whether this is a
genuinely sustainable way to produce high-quality food. In the afternoon
we’ll go on a field trip to Nick Romanowski’s property & nursery “Dragonfly
Aquatics”.

NICK ROMANOWSKI is the foremost aquaculture specialist in Australia. Not
only is Nick a wealth of knowledge and practical experience, he is also a
fantastic teacher. A biologist who has worked with aquatic plants and
animals for well over thirty years, from managing a wholesale aquarium to
commercial breeding and propagation. He has written extensively on wetlands
and plants for habitat and water treatment, and has a particular interest
in the environmental impacts of aquaculture. UNSW press released Nick's 9th
book "Sustainable Freshwater Aquaculture" earlier this year.


There are still limited places available for this workshop.
