UT Mariculture Program, 1983-84

The Mariculture Research Program at The University of Texas, Port Aransas Lab has only been in existence for a few years but has already dealt with some of the most difficult aspects of finfish mariculture. Ours is a unique team approach to marine fish culture based on first determining the underlyi...
