Scientists at IMET talked about their work farming the coveted bluefin tuna. The bluefin suffers from overfishing, but farming them is a challenge for IMET and the several other aquaculture institutions working to grow them.
Besides emulating the tuna’s oceanic habitat, scientists must also feed the voracious predators other fish until a new solution is found. That’s why, one expert told NPR, it’s unclear if farming bluefin tuna is ultimately worth the trouble.
IMET, founded in 2010, is a joint project of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and the University of Maryland, Baltimore.
Earlier this month, IMET was awarded a three-year grant to launch a new program to teach its graduate students the ins and outs of entrepreneurship, as Technical.ly Baltimore reported.
