Sustainable Practices in Fish Farming Discussion
I’m working on a biology writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
1) READ: “Environmental Impact of Aquaculture” case study and RESPOND (fully and thoughtfully) to the four questions at the end of the case study (thought questions on page 5).
2) VIDEO: Watch “How I Fell in Love with a Fish” (SUPER entertaining TED talk!)
3) RESPOND: What are your thoughts regarding the TED video with respect to sustainable aquaculture in Spain? Respond in 1-2 paragraphs. Please respond using FACTS from the video and article. In other words, do not state that you think the aquaculture in Spain is great and you were excited to learn about it. Instead, WHAT did you think was great?

1) Initial BLAST Search.
Use the Example sequence on pg 9 of the In-Class Exercises page to do a BLAST search. Enter your answers for Question #2 (highlighted in grey) when you do this BLAST search.
Gene Name
Score
Identities
Strand
Sequence alignment information (write/draw/copy/paste the alignment)
2) Reading Sequencing Gels
Choose 2 of the following sequencing gel images. Refer to the sequencing video for how to interpret the gels. Use the gels to get ~25-30 nucleotides of sequence to use to perform a BLAST search (leave the search term as “nucleotide collection (nr/nt)” rather than human specific).
