tion and disposal of these unwanted 

 harvests. 



A Fisherman 's Guide to Ex- 

 plosive Ordnance has been prepared 

 in cooperation with the U.S. Naval Ex- 

 plosive Ordnance Disposal Technology 

 Center. Included in this booklet are 

 photographs and illustrations of the 

 more common types of ordnance oc- 

 curring off our coast. Fishermen are 

 also given instructions for safe disposal 

 of ordnance recovered in nets or 

 dredges. 



A copy of this booklet is available 

 free to any interested fishermen. Write 

 Sea Grant, Box 5001, Raleigh, N.C.

Two new Sea Grant publications on 

 aquaculture have arrived from the 

 printers. A Discussion of 

 Aquaculture Candidate Species for 

 Eastern North Carolina, by former 

 UNC Sea Grant associate director 

 William L. Rickards, evaluates the 

 feasibility for commercially culturing 

 various species of finfish and crusta- 

 ceans in the fresh and brackish waters 

 of eastern North Carolina. For a copy 

 of this publication, send 50 cents to 

 UNC Sea Grant. Ask for publication, 

 UNC-SG-WP-81-2. 



Teaching Young American Eels 

 to Consume Prepared Feeds, by 

 John E. Foster and William L. 

 Rickards, is a discussion of methods 

 used by the NCSU Aquaculture 

 Demonstration Project for teaching 

 elvers or baby eels to feed on commer- 

 cially prepared feeds. For a copy of 

 this publication, send 50 cents to UNC 



Sea Grant. Ask for publication, UNC- 

 SG-WP-81-3. 



Sea Grant in North Carolina, 

 1979-1980, by Neil Caudle, is a report 

 on two years of Sea Grant research, 

 education and advisory services ac- 

 tivities. For a free copy of the 31 -page

Long exposures to the 

 sun can cause skin can- 

 cer. Jim Patterson, a 

 dermatologist at the 

 University of North 

 Carolina, says a lot of 

 the patients he treats for 

 skin cancer and sun-related skin 

 damage are farmers and fishermen who 

 spend long hours under the sun's rays, 

 away from shelter. Fishermen may be 

 even more susceptible, he says, since 

 they get double doses of sun from rays 

 bouncing off the water. 



North Carolina fishermen have an 

 added problem because many of them 

 are fair-skinned. Much of coastal 

 North Carolina has a western Euro- 

 pean heritage and their skin doesn't 

 take the sun well, Patterson says. 

 "They burn, freckle and generally 

 don't tan well," he says. 



To learn more about the problems 

 fishermen have with the sun, write for 

 UNC Sea Grant's latest Blueprint, 

 "Fishermen and Skin Cancer." To

North Carolina's sea- 

 food industry is one sub- 

 ject student Michael A. 

 Blake has added to his 

 curriculum. Blake, an 

 economics major at 

 North Carolina A&T 

 State University, has been awarded a 

 Sea Grant Fellowship to work with 

 researchers, Nozar Hashemzadeh and 

 Michael Simmons, from the univer- 

 sity's economics department. 



A native of the Virgin Islands, Blake 

 will be compiling information gathered 

 from the state's fishermen, seafood 

 processors and marketers. The goal of 

 Hashemzadeh and Simmons' project is 

 to determine the manpower needs of 

 the seafood industry. The information 

 will help in the development of train- 

 ing programs for skilled and technical 

 workers. The team is also devising a 

 model which will help predict future 

 manpower demands of the seafood 

 industry.
