The Auburn University Shellfish Laboratory was established with industry input to conduct practical research that will foster high quality shellfish production and protect shellfish resources in the Gulf of Mexico. The facility includes 321 m2 of office and laboratory space and 386 m2 of hatchery space under the building. Incorporated into the office and laboratory space are a microbiology laboratory, water quality laboratory, self-contained algae laboratory, large conference room, student offices, and visiting scientist offices. The hatchery features experimental and production tanks ranging in size from 115 l to 945 l with larger tanks slated to be included at a later date. Seawater is supplied to the hatchery by two pipelines that extend into the Gulf of Mexico.

The teaching facilities take up approximately one quarter of the building and include teaching collection space in a separate, vented room. The Auburn University teaching collection has approximately 1000 lots of specimens from approximately 160 families representative of world fish families, as well as fishes from Alabama and the southeastern United States. There are two teaching labs; one for computer work and one for specimen processing and examination. In addition, the building has storage for field equipment used for ichthyology lab and overnight trips. Office space includes four offices for faculty, staff and students, plus a conference room and GIS workstation. In addition, one office/lab is used by ADCNR personnel. The research labs include wet lab space and a variety of tank sizes, from a large stream tank to arrays of 10, 20, and 40 gallon tanks. An acoustics lab was constructed by Dr. Johnston and her students and is used for work with sound production and hearing in fishes. The facility also includes lab space for processing and temporary storage of fish specimens collected for biodiversity surveys and associated projects

]]> lovshll http://apps.aces.edu/mediamax/pictures/8/prof-h-s-swingle-1973 TRIBUTE To HOMER SCOTT SWINGLE 1902- 1973 Not many fishermen s t a r t on an ordinary fishing t r i p i n the morning and find themselves working t o feed millions of hungry people i n the evening. Homer Scott Swingle did exactly t h a t . In the morning of h i s f i s h e r i e s career t h a t began at Auburn i n 1934, he searched for methods to create good "fishing holes" i n Alabama where there were none; i n the evening, he sought ways t o put f i s h i n the d i e t s of protein-hungry people around the world. Much of Swingle's early research at Auburn was i n cooperation with E. V. Smith, Dean and Director Emeritus. This team pioneered i n the use of s m a l l earthen ponds as "test tubes" or plots, and made s i g n i f i c a n t findings concerning pond construction and management, f i s h population dynamics, and b i o l o g i c a l p e s t control. While working on pond management f o r s p o r t f i s h i n g , Swingle became i n t e r e s t e d i n producing f i s h i n ponds as a food crop. H i s contributions t o the development of aquaculture as a means of food production gave him worldwide fame. He served as a f i s h e r i e s consultant to the Governments of I s r a e l and Thailand in 1957 and India i n 1961, was the U.S. pond f i s hc u l t u r e representative t o t h e P a c i f i c Science Congress, and gave leadership t o many foreign f i s h e r i e s meetings and programs. He was a member of President Lyndon B. Johnson's Panel of S p e c i a l i s t s of Food for Peace i n Vietnam i n 1966. The United States Agency f o r International Development began contracts with Auburn i n 1967 largely because of Swingle's i n t ernational expertise. A 211-d I n s t i t u t i o n Development Grant i n Aquacultures and Fisheries t o the University i n 1970 provided for Auburn projects i n Brazil, E l Salvador, Panama, the Philippines, and Thailand. Swingle's contributions t o teaching are equally important. People came from a l l over the world t o study h i s methods and he taught them w e l l , regardless of t h e i r level of learning. He also pioneered formal f i s h e r i e s i n s t r u c t i o n . From rather humble beginnings i n the l a t e 1940's, Swingle developed a highly regarded undergraduate and graduate teaching program. Numerous awards and c i t a ti ons came to Swingle i n recognition f o r h i s contributions. These included the U.S. Department of Conservation Award i n 1951, Man of the Year i n Southern Agriculture i n 1958, and Governor's Conservation Award i n 1960. He was named the first head of the Department of Fisheries and Allied Aquacultures and Director of the International Center for Aquaculture i n 1970. D r . Swingle was an active participant i n the World Mariculture Society. He gave the keynote address a t the 1972 Workshop i n S t . Petersburg, Florida and was elected honorary member. A native of Columbus, Ohio, Swingle studied agriculture a t Ohio State University and received the M.S. i n entomology i n 1925. H i s Alma Mater bestowed the D.Sc. (honorary) on him i n 1958. Dr. Swingle married Catherine Hurtt, also of Columbus, Ohio, October 14, 1925. Children are daughters, Mrs. Lois Swingle Pierce, Auburn; Mrs. Jean Swingle Cunningham, Nashville, Tennessee; and sons, Dr. Roger L. Swingle, Athens, Georgia; Mr. Wayne Swingle and Mr. Hugh A. Swingle, Dauphin Island, Alabama. One son is deceased. Swingle was born July 29, 1902. He was 70 years old a t the t i m e of his death on May 20, 1973 .
