Description:
This program will develop and implement a virtual clearinghouse for information on aquaculture emanating from a variety of key federal and nonfederal sources. The Network of Aquaculture Information Services (NAIS) will develop a world wide web based system to provide 24 hour access to a variety of central databases, resources as well as contact information relevant to active and potential user groups involved with aquaculture. The project will link expertise through within Maryland Sea Grant and the NOAA Central Library with ongoing efforts within the Illinois-Indiana and Delaware Sea Grant Programs.

Developing a habitat model for mysids, an important link in Chesapeake Bay food webs
Mysids are important mesozooplankton prey for many species of fish in Chesapeake Bay and are an important link in transferring energy from lower to upper trophic levels. Mysids also serve as biological vectors for benthic-pelagic coupling due to their diel vertical migration and omnivorous prey-switching behavior, which makes mysids important regulators of food web architecture. Despite their central role in coastal food webs, surprisingly little is known about mysid ecology and dynamics in Chesapeake Bay.
