Dear All, Sweet Water Organics has helped set up the Sweet Water Foundation for the purpose of harvesting the information and knowledge gained by an effort to raise perch and tilapia on a commercial scale in a vintage factory building in Milwaukee.
We are looking for researchers to explore the sustainability of such an enterprise as well as collaborate with groups like Backyard Aquaponics in Australia. This video chronicles the creation of Sweet Water Organics, now with 80,000 yellow perch and tilapia, another 100,000 perch over the next year or so. * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8m0Z92oR1Y&feature=player_embedded#! *Here are some more videos:* http://sweetwater-organic.com/blog/videos/ *And some print media coverage, including a "Wall Street Journal" story(!)* http://sweetwater-organic.com/blog/news/ *The Great Lakes Water Institute of UW-Milwaukee is in process of becoming the School of Fresh Water Sciences, to offer MA and Ph.D. degrees.* * We hope to inspire collaborations across the land and beyond, eye on the prize of tasty, healthy fish based protein.* http://www.milwaukeerenaissance.com/SweetWaterOrganicsIndiaConnections/HomePage *Thanks!
