REGULATIONS FI SH TRANSPORT PERMIT First, to move fish or shellfish in Alaska you must have a Fish Transport Permit. Information on the permit is available from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, F.R.E.D. Division, P.O. Box 3-2000, Juneau, AK 99802, or from your local ADFaGoffice. The statute and regulations on transporting fish and shellfish are designed to minimize the danger of spreading fish diseases and parasites among Alaska's aquatic resources. PARALYTIC SHELLFISH POISON If you want to culture shellfish, the second thing you should know about is paralytic shellfish poison or PSP. Contact the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Pouch 0, Juneau, AK 998ll, or call them at 465-2606. RESEARCH ASSISTANCE INTERLIBRARY LOAN Chances are that your local library will not have all of the publications you need ~ If you do not wish to have a bookstore order them for you, you can get them through interlibrary loan. Virtually all libraries in the state cooperate in this service which allows each institution to share publications with the others by request. Just ask your local librarian. Give him/her the full citation. COMPUTER SEARCHES For detailed listings of published papers on specific topics you can have a computer search the established publication databases. There is a $5.00 service charge, a charge for the time the computer is searching, and a citation printing charge optional!. Anyone interested in this source of information should contact: Carol Rideout, Information Specialist Aquaculture Data Base Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences Gloucester Point, VA 23062 804! 642-2111 ORGANIZATIONS There is at least one major listing of names and addresses for organizations that deal with aquaculture: Major Aquaculture Associations, Education, and Research Resources in the United States.

Under the FMP, the report is prepared by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) with input from the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Council’s scallop plan team (SPT). The SAFE summarizes current biological and economic status of the fisheries, guideline harvest levels, and support for different management decisions or changes in harvest strategies. In the absence of annual estimates of stock size, optimum yield (OY) and maximum sustainable yield (MSY) remain at fixed values, as per the FMP. Following recommendations from the SSC, an expanded executive summary with updated information will be produced as the SAFE report every other year, beginning in 2021. The Scallop Plan Team met on February 17th, 2021 to update the scallop SAFE executive summary with recent fishery independent survey information and fishery performance data. The Plan Team review was based on presentations by staff from the ADF&G, Council, and NMFS and included opportunities for public comment and input.

Sensitivity to the art and designs of the past aids the Interior Designer in adapting them into the crea-_ tion of the contemporary interior, Des.igns of the past can have an integral relationship with contemporary design, Successful designs are those which have survived and have transcended time, Thus, the Interior Designer needs to know the background of a design, the original use of a design, and the period to which a design belongs in order to success­ fully adapt the design to the contemporary creation of beautyo This study of the shell as a symbolic design motif began with a profound interest in history, a deep love for a serene desert mission. and a probing curiosity concerning an outstanding design used in con­

  • Rhode Island's Shellfish Heritage
    RHODE ISLAND’S SHELLFISH HERITAGE RHODE ISLAND’S SHELLFISH HERITAGE An Ecological History The shellfish in Narragansett Bay and Rhode Island’s salt ponds have pro- vided humans with sustenance for over 2,000 years. Over time, shellfi sh have gained cultural significance, with their harvest becoming a family tradition and their shells ofered as tokens of appreciation and represent- ed as works of art. This book delves into the history of Rhode Island’s iconic oysters, qua- hogs, and all the well-known and lesser-known species in between. It of ers the perspectives of those who catch, grow, and sell shellfi sh, as well as of those who produce wampum, sculpture, and books with shell- fi sh"—"particularly quahogs"—"as their medium or inspiration. Rhode Island’s Shellfish Heritage: An Ecological History, written by Sarah Schumann (herself a razor clam harvester), grew out of the 2014 R.I. Shell- fi sh Management Plan, which was the first such plan created for the state under the auspices of the R.I. Department of Environmental Management and the R.I. Coastal Resources Management Council.

  • Marine Cage Culture and the Environment: Effects on Water Quality and Primary Production
    Vol. 6: 151–174, 2015 AQUACULTURE ENVIRONMENT INTERACTIONS Published online February 4 doi: 10.3354/aei00122 Aquacult Environ Interact OPENPEN ACCESSCCESS REVIEW Marine cage culture and the environment: effects on water quality and primary production Carol Price1,*, Kenneth D. Black2, Barry T. Hargrave3, James A. Morris Jr.1 1Center for Coastal Fisheries and Habitat Research, National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, National Ocean Service, NOAA, 101 Pivers Island Rd., Beaufort, North Carolina 28516, USA 2SAMS, Scottish Marine Institute, Oban, Argyll, PA37 1QA, UK 3561 Balmy Beach Road, Owen Sound, Ontario N4K 5N4, Canada ABSTRACT: Increasing human population and reliance on aquaculture for seafood will lead to expansion of the industry in the open ocean. To guide environmentally sustainable expansion, coastal stakeholders require tools to evaluate the risks that marine aquaculture poses and to craft science-based policies and practices which safeguard marine ecosystems. We summarized cur- rent knowledge regarding dissolved nutrient loading from marine fish farms around the world, direct impacts on water quality and secondary impacts on primary production, including forma- tion of harmful algal blooms. We found that modern operating conditions have minimized impacts of individual fish farms on marine water quality. Effects on dissolved oxygen and turbidity are largely eliminated through better management. Nutrient enrichment of the near-field water col- umn is not detectable beyond 100 m of a farm when formulated feeds are used, and feed waste is minimized. We highlight the role of siting fish farms in deep waters with sufficient current to dis- perse nutrients and prevent water quality impacts. We extensively discuss the potential for advances in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) to assimilate waste nutrients.
