A University of Wisconsin Stevens Point project is getting one of five new Regents Scholars grants. Biology Professor Christopher Hartleb will receive a $50,000 grant for an aquaponics research project with two private-sector partners.

UW Stevens Point works with two private firms to operate two separate research sites. The Northern Aquaculture Demonstration Facility near Bayfield works closely with Northside Enterprises. The new Aquaponics Innovation Center is being built at Nelson and Pade, Inc.® facility in Montello, Wisconsin.

Hartleb says interest in aquaponics is growing for very good reasons.
