Note(s): The aquaculture industry in Florida nearly tripled during the past decade and sales for 1997 represent a 29 percent increase from two years earlier. This upward trend is typical of what is occurring with aquaculture worldwide. As the industry expands, so do the employment opportunities and in turn the need for applied education and training programs in aquaculture. During the past two decades aquaculture has been integrated into the core curriculum at the high school (see Mengel, this issue) and undergraduate level (see Landau, this issue). These invaluable programs are informing and preparing career paths for students in this rapidly growing business.
