This bulletin indicates opportunities for development in rural 



areas on privately owned land and indicates services available 



from USDA. Financial statements (investment, annual income, and 



annual expenses) are contained in the appendix for five examples 



of enterprises, including fishing lakes in the Midwest, and the 



section on income discusses each example. While the bulletin is 



addressed to private land owners and operators, it is also a 



comprehensive guide for a prospective investor, and it briefly 



discusses the numerous factors involved in making an investment 



decision .

Sea fish farming progress. 



Fish Ind. Rev. 3(2): 2-6. 



Initiation of White Fish Authority (WFA) R&D in aquaculture and 



progress in several areas are discussed. Early experimental work 



to develop and cost a mass hatching and rearing technology for 



plaice and dover sole in 1961-68 was the basis of beginning 



operations at a WFA fish farm. There are hatchery development 



and demonstration operations for plaice, dover sole, lemon sole 



and turbot, listed in order from most to least successful. 



Grow-out (from hatchery to market size) of plaice and dover sole 



has been shown to be technically and biologically feasible in 



high-density, open-sea mesh enclosures and in onshore tanks using 



pcwerplant thermal effluent to warm the water. Cultured plaice 



have also been subjected to successful tests of consumer and 



market acceptability. While information is not yet sufficient to 



demonstrate commercial feasibility of large-scale culture 



operations, a model has been developed into which data can be fed 



tc show the effect on cost per unit of output (average cost) for 



purposes of managing R&D funds and projects.
