SEA SCIENCE J^n one of the first aquaculture efforts of its kind, a North Carolina Sea Grant researcher and a Cedar Island flounder farmer are fattening wild-caught fish to a more desirable market size. The North Carolina Fishery Resource Grant project is testing a theory that pound- net fishers in the Albemarle and Pamlico sounds have pondered for years, says Sea Grant researcher Harry Daniels. "The fishermen called me up with this idea, " says Daniels, a warm-water aquaculture specialist at NC State University's Vernon James Research and Extension Center in Plymouth. "They called it flounder fattening." The price per pound of flounder often rises when the short season ends in early winter, hence the interest in simply keeping the catch alive until its value increases. Because larger flounder draw higher prices, nurturing them to increase weight during the holding period makes sense. Daniels, who has done extensive research on spawning and culturing flounder, started a two-year flounder- fattening trial in 1997. The grant has been extended a few months to refine and analyze growth rates and economics. The Fishery Resource Grant program is funded by the General Assembly and administered by North Carolina Sea Grant. The grant financed the construction of a holding tank operation at the Pamlico Aquaculture Field Laboratory in Aurora. There, Daniels monitors how the fish — mostly southern flounder — react to captivity and variations in the tank environment. "We wanted to learn what people would have to do to raise this fish, " Daniels says. Wild broodstock used in spawning experiments had already revealed that flounder don't like to be alone. "They've got to be stocked densely to get them to eat, " Daniels says. No matter how few the flounder or how large the tank, "they'll pile on top of each other, " he says. Daniels theorizes it'
