Abstract:
From 2005 through 2007, Mote Marine Laboratory (MMl) received three installments
($25,000 per year) on the $125,000 grant award from Mosaic to develop sustainable
aquaculture technology to produce common snook to restore Florida's declining snook
populations. We have made substantial progress in developing culture methods to
produce snook over the past three years. This report summarizes some of the key
project accomplishments and research areas that are being addressed. The snook
aquaculture project is a collaborative research effort between Mosaic, the Scienoe
Consortium for Ooean Replenishment and Enhanoement (SCORE), Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), NOM Marine Aquaculture Initiative, and two
of MML's research oenters:
