create new jobs, a new industry, and new export opportunities, 



and (5) that economic analysis is no more than a formal method of 



isolating judgement areas.

Iversen, E. S. 

 1968. 



Farming the edge of the sea. 

 London, Fishing News (Books), Ltd., 301 pp. 



Listing of contents: general (why farm the sea?; sea farming, 

 present and future), procedures, presently farmed species 

 (seaweeds, oysters, clams and mussels, shrimps, milkfish, mullet, 

 and miscellaneous pondfishes) , potentially cultivable species, 

 problems and evaluation (includes a glossary and an extensive 

 list of selected references) . This descriptive book is not a 

 handbook or "how-to" book, but it does review important 

 principles of sea farming. It attempts to help answer many of 

 the guestions asked increasingly of people at fishery 

 laboratories, and it emphasizes biological aspects of sea 

 farming. There is also emphasis on farming of the sea by 

 developed nations in temperate and subtropical waters of the 

 Northern Hemisphere. Significant differences may be expected in 

 tropical waters and developing countries.

An annotated bibliography for economic evaluations of the 



aquaculture of selected crustaceans and mollusks. 



Univ. Calif., La Jolla, Calif., UC-IMR Ref . No. 74-3, Sea Grant 



Publ. No. 2, 26 pp. 



A selected, preliminary bibliography with the following major 



headings: bibliographies (general aquaculture and specific 



species) , abstracts and indexes, statistical sources (FAO, U.S. 



Government, States, other) , aquaculture (general and descriptive, 



and specific species) , natural fisheries and fisheries with 



potential for aquaculture (general and descriptive, and specific 



species) , marketing (general market demand for specific species, 



other marketing) , and author index. Many of the economic items 



annotated provide information related primarily to the supply, 



demand, and economics of wild-stock fish. This kind of 



information is directly useful in evaluating aquaculture where 



markets, product forms, and economic activities (such as 



processing and distribution) are the same or similar for
