The U.S. Aquaculture Society Student Quizbowl Committee needs your help!

[Roy Palmer]

We are organizing a student quizbowl for the 2010 San Diego World Aquaculture Society Conference (March 1st- 5th). The quizbowl will test the knowledge of students in various fields of aquaculture. We are requesting 10 aquaculture questions and answers from professionals who compose the many fields of aquaculture. All questions used during this contest will be questions submitted by you and fellow aquaculture professionals. In order to promote interaction between students from different schools we will randomly assign students to teams of 5-6 individuals. Matches between the teams will consist of two 10-question rounds. The team with the highest point total at the end of the tournament will be presented prizes from various donors. Thank you for your contribution. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments. Sincerely, Charles A. Brown Louisiana State University [e-mail] Ph: 225-765-2848 Fx: 225-765-28772410 Ben Hur Rd.Baton Rouge, LA 70820

At our Professional School of Guerande - France, students are examined at Professionnal Baccalaureat Level (16-18 years) and 2 Years Superior Technical Brevet (18-20 years) certified by french Agricultural Ministery. I teach in both level with theorical and practice courses. As you see on pics, we have finfish sea and fresh water facilities.

About subject, there's a lot of evaluation strategy. Do you need open question ?
I just can give sample I used in with Superior level student :

Present and discuss different biosecurity focus on intensive farm management ? same question with fish wellfare.
What are the advantages and negative points of recirculation aqua system ?
Organization and strategy in fish vaccination ?

is this kind of question you need ?

Could be calculation of oxygen balance in fish tank ? or excretion ?
