ORCA Public Relation 2013
Ray, the president of our club just post this in our main Club Forum, and I want toshare with all ORCA forum/club members.
ORCA is going to the University of Florida/IFAS's Tropical Aquaculture Laboratory, part of the University's School of Forest Resources and Conservation (SFRC) Program in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. The Laboratory is located in Ruskin, Florida, approximately 20 miles south of Tampa in the heart of the tropical ornamental aquaculture industry.
We are going by chartered bus on Saturday morning, May 11th. The sign up for this trip is open to MEMBERS and their guests. We still have some room on the bus. I have room for about a dozen more. The cost is only $10 per person. Please pay AS YOU SIGN UP. You will lose your space if not prepaid. Go to PAYPAL. Press "œBuy". Type in your Email address. Type in the clubs email (treasurer@o-r-c-a.com). Put in $10 (or multiples of that). Hit continue. If you have an account, put in your password. If not, sign up.
You will eventually come to a page that starts with REVIEW YOUR PAYMENT AND SEND. At the bottom of this page is an optional message box. Write your name here, your phone #, your email address, and the word trip. This will get you an email from us in a day or so on where to meet at 8:30 am that morning. AFTER you're finished with PayPal, add your name to this list. We should be back to town no later that 5pm.
The mission of the Tropical Aquaculture Laboratory is to enhance the understanding of tropical, ornamental aquaculture through research and education. The Laboratory performs applied research, fish disease diagnostic services, and extension education programs and promotes professionalism in Florida's tropical aquaculture industry.
Florida is home to as much as 95% of U.S. production of aquarium fish (depending on season) and plants due to its climate, geology, and presence of international shipping hubs. While production is spread throughout the state, the heaviest concentration of farms is in the southern half, particularly near the Tampa Bay region.
Producers in Florida breed a wide variety of ornamental fish species. Nevertheless, there are many important species that are available only as wild-caught imports or that are commercially produced only outside of the U.S. Researchers at the TAL are working with a variety of these species in investigations of basic reproductive biology, brood stock conditioning, reproduction through environmental manipulation, and induced spawning techniques.
I expect this to sell out. The list started at a meeting. I will be in contact with everyone. I will post on this as we sell out. I will go in order of (the member) who pays first. If you PayPal the club and don't make the cut, we will refund your money. Good luck... I hope to see everyone there. It should be a fun day.
