I. d^T^\ 1930 National Agricultural Library Beltsville, Maryland 1992 National Agricultural Library Cataloging Record: McVey, Eileen Directory of research institutions in aquaculture. 1. Aquaculture — Research — Societies, etc. — Directories. I. Braun, Linda. II. Flanagan, Catherine. III. Title. SH20.5 Foreword This directory is for aquaculture scientists and researchers, students, Government agency staff, and others interested in the current areas of research in aquaculture in the United States. The directory was compiled from information provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Sea Grant College Program, and the American Fisheries Society. Approximately 200 research institutions were contacted by mail regarding their interest in being included in this directory. Responses from 139 of those research institutions are included in this directory. They were also asked to verify their address and to include subject information regarding their aquaculture-related research. The Aquaculture Information Center wishes to thank them for their assistance in providing information for this directory. Some of the institutions listed may have very limited aquaculture programs or research directly or indirectly related to aquaculture. This list is not comprehensive, and some ongoing aquaculture research programs may have been missed inadvertently. In addition, due to the changing funding for aquaculture research, some of the programs included may have changed their research directions since the printing of this publication. Programs are listed alphabetically by State or territory with mailing addresses and when available, phone or FAX numbers. The umbrella institution is in boldface for each entry. Also included at the end is a Subject Index. Acknowledgments Special appreciation is expressed to Nancy Thomson for her time in verifying addresses and phone numbers and for her assistance with word processing.
