Outline of research programs on marine fisheries management and aquaculture, particularly in Alabamas coastal region. This diversity includes springs, swamps, streams, rivers, reservoirs, small impoundments, natural ponds, estuaries and the Gulf of Mexico. Approximately 77,000 miles of rivers and streams, 50,000 small impoundments, and 42 large reservoirs are found within the state boundaries, and the Mobile basin yields more water per unit drainage area than any other river in the United States. Underlying these abundant water resources is a diverse physiography that has resulted in the evolution of the most diverse aquatic fauna of any state in North America.
