an advisory committee will identify 20 

 "highliners," or opinion leaders, in the 

 fisheries. 



With three drawings in hand, they'll ask 

 the highliners which net would work best 

 and how it could be improved. 



After modifications are made, the team 

 plans to test its FSD in a flume tank and 

 then out on the water. 



Roger Rulifson, a zoologist at East 

 Carolina University, will video the field tests 

 to find out how the fish react to the new 

 nets. Then changes can be made based 

 on their reactions. 



"We do not see this as a panacea, but a 

 start," Murray says. "We're trying to do 

 some work— involve fishermen's ideas— 

 before there's a crisis." 



The Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine Study 

 is seeking proposals for its fourth funding 

 period. The study gives grants for 

 research and public involvement projects 

 that will lead to an effective conservation 

 management plan for the Albemarle- 

 Pamlico region. 



APES proposals can be submitted from 

 Nov. 22 to Jan 12. Late proposals will not 

 be considered.

No-Salt Seafood, written by Sea Grant 

 seafood education specialist Joyce Taylor, 

 offers seafood recipes that contain no 

 added salt— only what occurs naturally in 

 the food or in small quantities in the 

 ingredients. 



The American Heart Association recom- 

 mends that everyone restrict salt consump- 

 tion, especially those with high blood pres- 

 sure. Salt may not cause high blood pressure, 

 but it can make the condition worse. 



To help everyone lessen their depend- 

 ency on the salt shaker, Taylor and a 

 group of food and nutrition leaders from 

 Carteret County eliminated table salt from 



more than 40 seafood recipes. In its place, 

 she substituted herbs, spices, citrus juices 

 and table wines.
