Cultimar EFP: Red Snapper Aquaculture in the South Atlantic

NOAA Fisheries is accepting comments on an application for an exempted fishing permit (EFP) from Cultimar Technologies, Inc. The applicant proposes to collect 200 red snapper from federal waters off the Atlantic coast of Florida and transport the fish to a hatchery research facility in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. The collected fish would be used to establish a genetically diverse broodstock population and to support marine aquaculture research through a consistent supply of fingerlings.
