The conceptual approach employed by the Israeli sci- entists is revolutionary in the world of fish farming, Gordon said. "It means a new means of livelihood in places like the Arava Desert where there are a few alter- natives, without drawing fresh water away from use in arable land," Gordon ex- plains, adding that Israel is currently utilizing some 96 percent of her water sup- ply and that 50 percent of the water supply of Eilat is DE LOREAN On Display Now 28585 Telegraph Rd across from Tel-12 Mall Southfield.

Following the receipt of a letter from the State De- partment, the Custoins Service ordered that goods made in the administered territories and shipped to the U.S. could no longer be marked "Made in Israel." They must now be marked "Made in Israeli - Occupied West Bank." • • • Thirst Measure • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • REHOVOT (JNI) — Is- raeli agro-meteorologists of the Volcani Institute have developed a method to measure "the thirst of trees." With two needles in- serted into the tree trunk to measure . temperature and thermic waves, the scien- lists calculate rate of inter- nal water evaporation. Tested successfully in ir- rigating Israeli avocado and citrus trees, as well as in Australian and Canadian forests, the method will soon be applied to cultivated crops, such as Israeli cotton. produced in a local desali- nation plant. "We think that on one quarter of an acre a fish farmer can earn something in the neighborhood of $10,000 per year," says Gordon, 44, who lives with his-wife and three children on nearby Kibutz Yotvata. The mariculture project was started by Gordon, a graduate of Hebrew Uni- versity and Scripps Institu- tion of Oceanography in California, and a handful•of scientists in 1973, as part of Israel's search for an indus- try besides tourism for settlers in the sun-parched south. Today there are 25 men and women working with Gordon and more and more scientists are being drawn to the excitement of the project and the Eilat area which boasts the most extraordinarily rich coral reef in the world. The focal point of the research is the effort to completely control the reproductive -cycle of the denise, a fish highly val- ued on European dinner tables. "We're able to re- produce the denise in the laboratory," explains Dr. George Kissil, 38, an ex- pert in fish nutrition who immigrated from the United States to Israel in 1969. Besides the headache of worrying about funding the new facilities, Gordon notes other challenges facing the research crew: preventing pollution of underground freshwater reserves from pumped-in seawater and controlling oxygen levels in the ponds, where a 500 per- cent supersaturation of oxygen could cause disastr- ous fish kills. Another area of concern is the poisonous backlash of pond sediment, which releases toxic chemi- cals that can harm the fish. The rqaticulture scien- tists also have their eyes on being incorporated into the planned saltwater canal project which will link the Mediterranean Sea to the Dead Sea mainly to produce hydroelectric power. If enough seawater to main- tain 4,000 acres of desert ponds were dropped into the Dead Sea (taking into ac- count evaporation), in addi- tion to the amount already planned to keep the Dead Sea full, 3 percent more electricity could be pro- duced in the process. Dr. Gordon believes the prospect of the additional 3 percent has made Med- Dead Canal authorities more interested in includ- ing fish ponds into the giant canal project.
