Abstract:
Economic Development has largely bypassed much of the rural coastal plain of southeastern North Carolina. Few industries requiring skilled workers and paying high wages have been attracted to the region. To increase development in this region, it is imperative that new economic activities be put in place. These activities must be compatible with the natural and cultural resources of the region. One such activity that many believe has significant potential to enhance economic development is aquaculture, especially catfish farming.

Abstract:
Leutze continues his series on coastal aquaculture by discussing two different, but successful, programs. One is a large-scale project at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. The program began in 1998 under the direction of Dr. Wade Watanabe, a research professor at UNCW's Center for Marine Science. Watanabe coordinates the center's aquaculture programs. The other program is smaller and was started by Jeff Wolfe, an enterprising local fisherman.

Abstract:
Flounder is a popular food fish; however, a number of areas have been overfished, and some North Carolina waters have been closed. A flounder aquaculture has been profitable in Asia for a number of years. Korea is producing around twenty-one million tons a year. Researchers with the North Carolina Sea Grant program anticipate there will be commercial flounder production in the state in the next three to five years.

Cylindrotheca closterium is a diatom commonly found in neritic waters of the Newport River estuary in North Carolina. This study measured diatom growth rates and motility. The results have implications for using diatoms in a variety of biotechnological and commercial applications that would require industrial-scale production including abalone culture.
