The geothermal hot water resource developed from on-campus wells is used for space heating and heating the college's potable hot water supply. The development of this resource has provided waste water for aquaculture. The available water for aquaculture is a volume of 200 to 250 gal/min with a mean temperature of 57/sup 0/C. This water was tested on mosquitofish, guppies, and crayfish. A program is now underway to see if the giant freshwater prawn may be grown commercially in geothermal waste water. (MHR)
