This will aid student understanding of polyculture and the impact of multitrophic aquaculture.<\/p>\n<h4>Why have a multitrophic, polyculture aquaculture?<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>KLEWS: brainstorm in the K column. Following discussion, record definitions in the S column.<\/li>\n<li>Journals: brainstorm on page 32. Following discussion, record definitions on page 31.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How is growing multiple species different from only growing one? What are the benefits of a multitrophic, polyculture aquaculture? Here are some ways to brainstorm with youth about the pros\/cons of polyculture.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Show youth the fish poop diagram.\u00a0 Ask youth to imagine they were responsible for growing fish in an isolated system. Where would the fish get the food they need to survive?\n<ul>\n<li>You have to keep adding fish food to feed the fish!<\/li>\n<li>You end up with a ton of fish poop in the water body \u2026 eventually, not even the fish can live there (not to mention other animals) due to the effects of having too much fish waste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Use food web diagram to introduce the concept of a polyculture.\u00a0 Can the youth come up with some species in the food web that could be grown together in a beneficial way?\u00a0 How would that work in an aquaculture system? Ideally the waste from a cultivated species would be used as nutrients to another cultivated species!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Watch: What is Aquaculture<\/strong> (YouTube)<\/p>\n<div class=\"responsive-video\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What is Aquaculture?\" width=\"1268\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f3zsb90lETQ?wmode=transparent&amp;rel=0&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Brand names and trade names are included to show sponsorship or for educational purposes.

What traits do those species have that lend themselves to being harvested on a mass scale, in the Maine marine ecosystem?\u00a0 What traits could be improved? Discuss how these species may have evolved over time. What traits do they have that are similar to those in the game? What traits could be improved as they related to aquaculture? How about multitrophic or polyculture aquaculture? What species would co-exist well and why?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Explore: Evolution Game<\/strong> (1.5 hours minimum, 2 hours is ideal)<\/h3>\n<p>Play the game.<\/p>\n<p>Use the how-to-play videos\/slides to teach the first round of the game, then let the youth go at their own pace.<\/p>\n<p>View the <a href=\"https:\/\/oceantoday.noaa.gov\/fullmoon-noshellleftbehind\/welcome.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">No Shell Left Behind video<\/a> (on the NOAA Ocean Today, Every Full Moon\/A supplemental resource for educators website), which shares the story of oyster fisheries in the Chesapeake Bay.\u00a0 Where do you see examples of traits and evolution being applied to oyster fishing? Are there any specific traits identified in this video that you experienced in the game? Note to facilitator: examples might include symbiosis, invasive species.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Explain<\/strong> (5-10 minutes)<\/h3>\n<p>Have youth explain what they have learned about polycultures.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>KLEWS: use the L, E, and S columns.<\/li>\n<li>Journals: summarize at the bottom of page 31.<\/li>\n<li>What species combinations were particularly successful? Why?<\/li>\n<li>Who had a species that was successful in one round but not in another? Why do you think that happened?<\/li>\n<li>What kind of species are well suited to aquaculture? Why?<\/li>\n<li>What kind of species are not suited for aquaculture? Why?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Extend: Aquaculture Project <\/strong>(10-15 minutes)<\/h3>\n<p>Use both supplemental resources to help youth with their research:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/4h\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2020\/05\/Supplemental-Resource-3-Types-of-Aquaculture.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Supplemental Resource #3: Types of Aquaculture (PDF)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/4h\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2020\/05\/Supplemental-Resource-4-Researching-Species-and-Water-Bodies-2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Supplemental Resource #4: Researching Species and Water Bodies (PDF)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Is your Aquaculture Project a polyculture?
