Until recently, wastewater from the fish tanks on the Tsar Nicholai farm emptied into a giant man-made pond, but now the caviar farm is using the nutrient stream to grow food in a 24,000 square-foot greenhouse. Series: "UCTV Prime" [Science] [Agriculture] [Show ID: 34106]

Tick Talk: Advancing the Understanding and Prevention of Tick-borne Diseases
Ticks are vectors for human disease, including Lyme disease. Semay Chou studies the vector–pathogen relationships at UCSF. Here she discusses strategies for blocking tick-borne diseases and what we can learn from ticks. Series: "Mini Medical School for the Public" [Health and Medicine] [Agriculture] [Show ID: 35241]
The Ocean's Stethoscope: How Technology is Being Used to Study Fish Populations - Exploring Ethics
Sooner or later, the food requirements of nine billion people with increasing appetites for seafood must be addressed. Although aquaculture may supply the majority of the global ‘seafood’, most aquaculture is fed meal from wild caught fish, such as sardine and anchovy. To estimate the distributions and abundance of these and other small fish off the west coast, NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center routinely conducts “acoustic-trawl” surveys. David Demer will briefly describe the vessels, instrumentation and methods that are used to conduct these surveys, and provide a virtual tour of the world-class facilities in La Jolla that are used to develop the next generation of autonomous, ocean-sampling technologies. Join us to learn more about this exciting technology and be part of a discussion about possible ethical challenges. Series: "Exploring Ethics" [Humanities] [Science] [Agriculture] [Show ID: 34378]

Is Moringa the Next Superfood?
Every part of the Moringa plant is edible - leaves, pods, seeds, flowers, even its root. The feathery leaves alone pack a powerful protein punch – nearly 30 percent by dry weight. Legumes don’t even have that much protein, nor all the essential amino acids. Series: "UCTV Prime" [Agriculture] [Show ID: 34580]
