New and innovative advances in biology/engineering withudpotential for use in aquaculture: Proceedings of the Fourteenth U.S.-Japan Meeting on Aquaculture, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, October 16-17, 1985

摘要

The United States and Japanese counterpart panels on aquaculture were formed in 1969 under the United States-Japan Cooperative Program in Natural Resources (UJNR). The panels currently include specialists drawn from the federal departments most concerned with aquaculture. Charged with exploring and developing bilateral cooperation, the panels have focused their efforts on exchanging information related to aquaculture which could be of benefit to both countries.ududThe UJNR was begun during the Third Cabinet-Level Meeting of the Joint United States-Japan Committee on Trade and Economic Affairs in January 1964. In addition to aquaculture, current subjects in the program includeuddesalination of seawater, toxic microorganisms, air pollution, energy, forage crops, national park management, mycoplasmosis, wind and seismic effects, protein resources, forestry, and several joint panels and committees in marineudresources research, development, and utilization.ududAccomplishments include: Increased communication and cooperation among technical specialists; exchanges ofudinformation, data, and research findings; annual meetings of the panels, a policy-coordinative body; administrativeudstaff meetings; exchanges of equipment, materials, and samples; several major technical conferences; and beneficialudeffects on international relations.
