Projects

The trade deficit for seafood in the U.S. is over $9 billion; imported seafood accounts for 80% of the seafood consumed in the U.S. Of those imports, 40% are from aquaculture. Therefore, there is enormous growth potential for domestic production of safe, high-quality farmed seafood that meets federal and state environmental and food safety standards.

At Harbor Branch we are leaders in the research and development of recirculating culture technologies for warm water marine fish, oysters and clams, and Caribbean species such as queen conch and spiny lobsters. We place high priority on research projects that lead to commercial applications. Our technology transfer programs support the expansion of competitive and sustainable aquaculture industries.
