Paul Tabour, Aquaneering Northeast Sales and Tech Support Representative, attended the Zebrafish Development and Genetics course at Marine Biological Laboratory, where he demonstrated a stand alone rack system to a scientist audience. After touring the MBL facility, he fielded questions and discussed our equipment one-on-one with other participants. "[It was] a lovely summer day," Paul says, "and a good experience overall."

Paul also attended the Health and Colony Management of Laboratory Fish short course at Mount Desert Institute Biological Laboratory, which focused on veterinarian-level concerns such as disease prevention and pathology/autopsy. The presentations were very informative and interactive as presenters engaged vendor representatives to discuss how their systems addressed functionality and lab issues. Paul was pleased to be able to answer a lot of good questions, as well as contribute to the course discussions, notably on water quality. Later in the week, course attendees enjoyed a lobster boil by the bay.  All in all, Paul says, "[ MDIBL]  was a really good week."

The Kern River Hatchery in California recently reopened following three years of extensive renovations. The updates will allow the nearly 100-year old facility to improve operations and capabilities into the future, including raising and planting Kern River Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus  mykiss).

Aquaneering supplied the Hatchery with a complete filtration system and three of our 2000-liter polyethylene round tanks.  It is with pride that our equipment supports the improved and updated operation of the Hatchery.
