eCornell, Cornell University is working with the Aquacultural Engineering Society to offer a Certification in Recirculating Aquaculture System Design & Operation. Companies are seeking qualified individuals to work with these systems at all levels.

This certification distinguishes you from others who have not spent the time to learn about RAS and signifies that one's knowledge and skills are up to date with current principles involved in designing and operating RAS.
