The University of New Hampshire’s Agricultural Experiment Station has made significant donations of vegetables and fish from their aquaponics system to food pantries and other recipients. The Middletown Press says the station donated almost 5,000 heads of lettuce, 44 boxes of tomatoes, 28 boxes of peppers, 400 pounds of squash and 1,100 pounds of fish as well as fish carcasses that were sent as bait to lobster fishermen in Portsmouth and/or composted at a research farm.
