    Aquacultural Research & Teaching Facility

Operated by the department for the Texas A&M AgriLife Experiment Station, the Aquacultural Research and Teaching Facility (ARTF) is dedicated to research and teaching that promotes development of sound biological basis for warm water aquaculture and aquatic ecology. Amenities include laboratories, hatcheries species and a 36-pond complex, all within 10 miles of the central campus. Laboratories are equipped with extensive flow-through and recirculating tank systems, comprising more than 200 units, and with a variety of modern research equipment for work in areas of nutrition, bioenergetics, environmental physiology and developmental biology.
