Fisheries Groups:

       I'm in search of a few good peer reviewers to take a look at a draft revised
CRS report completed as a background document for the U.S. Congress by
Geoff Becker and myself on aquaculture and the federal role.  The report is
about 17 pages in length (includes footnotes), reviews various U.S.
aquaculture programs and discusses current federal policy.  I would find
comments provided by January 10th to be most helpful in completing this
report.  If you would be interested in reading this draft and providing
comments, I would be most appreciative.  Please e-mail me of your interest,
and I will provide a copy of the report via e-mail -- probably divided into two or
three parts in separate messages.

       Again thanks for your assistance on this issue.
