Yesterday, the Aquatic Germplasm and Genetic Resources Center (AGGRC) welcomed USDA representatives, including Dr. Lauren Stump, Jeff Silverstein, and Perry Rainosek, for a tour of our facilities! The visit provided an opportunity to highlight AGGRC’s work in aquatic genetic resource preservation, germplasm cryopreservation, and supporting the future of sustainable aquaculture.

We were also pleased to welcome Andy Brown of the Louisiana Farm Bureau, along with Hampton Grunewald, Andrew Schade, and Kaelyn Fogelman of the LSU AgCenter. Visits like these strengthen connections between federal partners, agricultural organizations, and researchers working to safeguard valuable genetic resources and advance aquaculture research. 🌱🧬

Thank you to our guests for visiting AGGRC and for their continued interest in this important work!

The old barn has been demolished! It lasted a long while, but it was time for it to go. This demolition has made our facility safer and has given us the opportunity to build something even better in its place!

Learning hands-on in the lab! Sydney is teaching Dylan how to use a pH meter to measure pH for aquatic invertebrate experiments. pH is an important water-quality factor that can influence the health, survival, and behavior of aquatic invertebrates. By measuring pH, we can better understand how water chemistry affects these tiny but important organisms in aquatic ecosystems! 🧪🦐🌊

At our last end of the month party we said goodbye to the transient and student workers who will be leaving the AGGRC in the coming weeks and to Chris Toepfer, our Business Office Coordinator, who has retired. We wanted to take this time to celebrate their accomplishments and wish them well in their future endeavors.
Thank you for all your hard work!
