And there are plenty of aqua- culture experts who want to share their know-how with you. They'll get their chance at the third annual Aquaculture Development Conference, scheduled for October 30-31 at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. The conference will feature an im- pressive slate of experts including Sea Grant's Associate Director Ron Hodson, who will speak on the culture of hybrid striped bass. Sea Grant Marine Advisory Service agents Skip Kemp and Wayne Wescott will talk about clam nurseries and crab shedding, respectively. Participants in the two-day conference will hear the latest research on pond culture systems, aquaculture in existing farm ponds, raceway and tank systems, and estuarine aquaculture. A technology session will introduce par- ticipants to recirculating systems, biological filtration technology, and aeration and oxygen injection systems. Discussions will center on problems in production with recirculating systems. The conference will end with a tour of "the fish barn," a new aquaculture demonstration and research facility at the university. An organizational meeting of the Aquaculture Association will be held after lunch on the second day of the conference. Registration for the conference is $45 ($55 after October 25). This includes handout material, lunch, tours, break refreshments and the Aqua-Food Festival, featuring heavy hors d'oeuvres made from Tar Heel aquaculture products
