Prof John Bolton from @IMTA_UCT_DFFE Lab @ASTRAL_H2020 at #AE22RIM gave us great insight into the daily rhythms of water quality in a commercially functioning #IMTA Abalone/Ulva system @vikingaqua

Great presentation from John Bolton (@UCT_news) at #AE22RIM this morning!👏 ➡️ Daily rhythms of critical #WaterQuality parameters in commercial land-based, partially recirculated #abalone / #ulva integrated aquaculture systems, & the potential for increasing recirculation rates

Co-cultured friends, juvinile sea urchins T.gratilla and abalone H.midae . Still can't get over these shell colours! @marisbrinkhull @ASTRAL_H2020 @afrimaqua #IMTA #aquaculture

You are what you eat! The juvenile abalone shell shows clear effects of varying algal diets fed at different stages of the rearing process. @ASTRAL_H2020 @afrimaqua #aquaculture #amazingalgae

Seaweeds are known for their health benefits, one of which is as a natural source of Iodine, which we use to make Thyroxine. #seaweedhealth #amazingalgae

Did you know that you can make iodine from seaweed? A saltpeter farmer and chemist, Bernard Courtois, made the discovery when cleaning vats of seaweed ash with concentrated sulfuric acid and he noticed whisps of purple vapor forming! #chemed #iteachchem #chemistry

We have spent the last two weeks running training courses to teach students, the public and researchers about integrated aquaculture and how it can contribute to sustainable aquaculture 🐟 Thank you to all who made it possible! @ASTRAL_H2020 @afrimaqua @UCT_news
