Experts say aquaculture done right could easily feed the world without polluting it. A favored method of environmentalists is the hard-walled pen system that isolates the fish from the surrounding water in 40-ft.-deep tanks and catches their waste in the bottom. Even more secure are containment ponds built onshore into which seawater is pumped. Agrimarine Industries in Cedar, B.C., is testing a site with eight tanks 100 yds. from the sea and 40 ft. above it. But production costs are expected to be about $2.20 a fish--double what it costs to raise a salmon...
...Chinese, who have been farming fish for 2,000 years, pioneered a method in which nothing is wasted. Farmers dig ponds around rice paddies and feed carp in the ponds with weeds from the rice field. The silt from the ponds is used as fertilizer for the fields, and crabs are grown to eat pests. Some of those techniques are being adapted in Western fish farms. In Tuscaloosa, Ala., Dan Butterfield, 59, raises bass, carp, catfish and other species in the same pond; the sun and the catfish feces stimulate the growth of phytoplankton, which feeds the other species...
...course, the program does offer unique benefits. In general, it’s a convenient and hassle-free method of acquiring a teaching position.

Their acting method demands an immediate connection with the audience. And with the production’s minimal lighting, set design and accompaniment, the actors shoulder the bulk of the work’s impact as they attempt to create what Hosfield deems “a community of outrage...
...Crimson’s grueling nonconference schedule is not only a measuring stick, but also an effective method of avoiding complacency leading into the Ivy schedule. With much of Harvard’s league-leading offense returning and an outstanding recruiting class, the hopes are justifiably high, but the road to an Ivy crown is never without potholes...
