Aquaculture in perspective. 



Paper presented at the Sea Grant Association Meeting, Oct. 1973, 



U. S. Dep. Commer., Natl. Ocean. Atmos. Adm., Sea Grant Progr., 



17 pp. 



The United States has imported a substantial growing share of the 



fish consumed. Natural limits, growing world demand, and the 



consequent adverse effects on natural-stock fishinq productivity 



and returns will make aquaculture an increasinqly interesting 



alternative production medium. Yet, present world output from 



aquaculture is dominated by herbivores (carp, milkfish, and 



mullet) , production is often labor intensive, the state of the 



art is often problem-ridden, U. S .-preferred species are not 



easily cultured, and utilization of U.S. industrial and economic 



development byproducts or wastes present leqal, aesthetic, 



taste-preference, and institutional problems. If aquaculture is 



tc develop, a holistic, interdisciplinary approach is required, 



and its case should not be overstated in terms of immediacy of 



returns and speed of development. NOAA's role via NMFS and Sea 



Grant is discussed, along with establishment of national goals, 



funding and other constraints, and requirements for project and 



research complementarity. 



Subject descriptors: 



Development rationale; outlook; research; R6D role; state of the 



art; problems.
