Welcome
to the home page of the
University of Idaho Aquaculture Research Institute. Because Idaho is the nation's largest commercial producer of rainbow trout,
aquaculture, or fish farming, is one of the University's primary areas of research. Our Institute
promotes, supports, and coordinates aquaculture research activities at the University of Idaho and throughout the
state and region. UI scientists in various disciplines conduct research in both commercial and conservation aquaculture sciences and technologies.
Who We Are:
The Aquaculture Research Institute
was created in 1988 to facilitate aquaculture research at the
University. The institute is linked with the
Colleges of Agricultural and Life
Sciences,
Natural Resources,
Business,
Science and
Engineering.
Faculty within the Institute have appointments in one or more of these
colleges. The Director reports directly to the Vice-President of
Research. ARI supports graduate student research but
does not offer classes or grant degrees. These functions are the
responsibility of partner colleges within the University. All
applicants interested in graduate education at ARI need to apply for
admission to
Graduate School
at the University of Idaho
