NCCCWA Mission:

The mission of the NCCCWA is to support and enhance the nation’s cool and cold water aquaculture production through research and technology transfer. The goals of the program are to improve production efficiency, aquatic animal health, and product quality through the development of economically and environmentally sustainable commercial systems and practices. Research emphases include applied genetics and breeding, integrated aquatic animal health, aquaculture engineering, nutrition, physiology, culture and management, and product quality. The focus of the research programs is cool and cold water aquaculture species including, but not necessarily limited to rainbow trout, Arctic char, and striped bass.
