An opportunity comes when a farmer from Hyde County drops by the lab. He's interested in raising hybrids in a small pond. It sounds like a good pros- pect to Rouse. Rouse will visit the site later to assess the potential. A Sea Grant scientist calls. She needs a supply of striped bass hybrids for her research on a nutritional feed for the fish. Rouse will supply her with 240 hybrid fingerlings. Another researcher tells Rouse he's bringing a Nova Scotian businessman and prospective aquaculturist to visit the Aurora Spencer Rogers 1 After lunch, coastal engineer Spencer Rogers stops by a Carolina Beach condominium to check some beachfront erosion problems. He looks to see if the sand bags in front of the condo are holding off the ocean waves. So far, so good. But Rogers is skepti- cal about the bags' holding ability. Back in his Ft.
