And to help the hybrid on its way, we've orga- nized a team of Sea Grant experts to study various aspects of its marketing. • Jim Easley, marine economics specialist, will conduct a study to determine the costs of producing hybrids. • Marketing specialist Skip Kemp will survey consumers and seafood dealers to find out what market names are used for the hybrid and which is favored by consumers. • Joyce Taylor, seafood education specialist, will make sure consumers know how to prepare the hybrid; she'll develop recipes for the fish. • Seafood extension specialist David Green will examine possible products to be made from hybrids, and he'll test the hybrid's freezer life. • Associate Sea Grant Director Ron Hodson was chosen recently as chair- man of a committee to form a national hybrid striped bass association. The proposed association will promote the commercial culture of the hybrid and develop markets for the fish. Tune in to public television for a better picture of Sea Grant in North Carolina.
