U.S. fisheries, including, but not limited to, harvesting, processing,
marketing, and associated business infrastructures. The term “fisheries”

by citizens or nationals of the United States. Proposals submitted to this
competition must address at least one of the following priorities: Promotion,
Development and Marketing; Marine Aquaculture; Support of Science that Ensures
