[Production estimates:] though still in early stages, fish farms 



could be major protein source by 1990. 



U.S. Dep . Commer . , Commer. Today 5(4): 12 and 13. 



Eased upon available information and opinions of specialists in 



different parts of the country, aquaculture production for 



various species was estimated (in "A draft outline for the 



National Fisheries Plan," Natl. Mar. Fish. Serv . , 1974, 225 pp.) 



for the 1969-73 period and for 1990. For 1969-73, the estimates 



are as follows (in millions of pounds, round weight, except for 



shell mollusks) : salmon, 23; oysters, 20; shrimp, 0.5; freshwater 



prawns, 0.005; clams, 2.6; trout, 35; catfish, 50; and crawfish, 



10. These amounts total 141.1 million pounds; those for 1990 



total about 1.2 billion pounds.

Eeport of Pacific Island mariculture conference. 



Univ. Hawaii, Hawaii Inst. Mar. Biol., Coconut Island, Kanehoe, 

 Hawaii, Feb. 6-8, 1973, 21 pp. 



This paper summarizes the objectives, procedure, and recommenda- 

 tions of a conference in estaolishing a course of development for 

 mariculture programs in the Pacific Islands. First priority 

 organisms include sea turtles, siganids, mullets, mi Ik fish, 

 mollies, cardinalfish, and other baitfish. Second-priority verte- 

 brates are Mahimahi, goatfishes, and jacks. An explanation of 

 the selections is outlined. The same procedure is followed in 

 the discussion of invertebrates. Top-priority invertebrates are 

 Malaysian prawn, nrine shrimp, marine shrimp, and oysters. 

 Second priority invertebrates include coconut crab, northern 

 lobster, mangrove crab, pearl oyster, and Tridacna clams. The 

 rejected species are also outlined and listed as spiny lobsters, 

 small clams, octopus, mussels, Triton, and Trochus. Additional 

 priorities are listed to emphasize certain elements of tech- 

 nology. Estimates of the levels of funding and effort are given 

 for each top-priority species in both the vertebrate and inverte- 

 brate categories. Organizations willing to assist in funding and 

 effort are also listed.
