The National Sea Grant Program's aguaculture projects are 

 described by type of organism being studied: crustaceans 

 (shrimp, crabs, lobster, and crayfish) , mollusks (oysters, clams, 

 scallops, abalone, octopus, and limpets), finfish (salmonids, 

 mullet, dolphin, and miscellaneous), and seaweeds (red and brown 

 algae). As of June 30, 1971, the National Sea Grant Program was 

 helping to support over 50 projects directly related to 

 aguaculture with a total (joint or shared) cost of $5 million, 

 and with over $3 million being from the Program. The research 

 work, technological developments in rearing species, and specific 

 universities and other institutions doing the work are discussed. 

 Market potential of species, reproductive ability, environmental 

 effects on species' productivity and feed data are among the 

 specific terms discussed under each species. Also, programs in 

 marine pathology directed at diseases of seafood organisms are 

 discussed as well as new aquaculture sites. A listing of 

 National Sea Grant Aguaculture Programs by organization is 

 provided.

1975. 



Conflict of interest and its resolution as factors in the 



commercialization of aquaculture in the Americas. 



Mar. Fish. Eev. 37(1): 48-51. 



The author focuses on what he views to be a neglected area, 



"organizing the business of aquaculture so that its benefits 



ensure the maximum satisfaction of the people of a host country." 



Host country aspirations of national development, reactions to 



enclave and exploitive kinds of operations, actions to produce 



change, and problems are discussed, along with attitude and 



objective changes by private enterprise (e.g., acceptance of 



responsibility for general economic development, use of return on 



investment criteria tnat include interests of the host country, 



and willingness to share or eventually transfer ownership) . Some 



examples of operating institutions in Mexico are given in the 



context of helping to resolve conflicts of interest between 



private (often foreign) investors and people of the host country. 



Subject descriptors: 



Economic development role; development planning; externalities;
