| Summary: | This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 423: Auburn know-how has helped to put fish on the table in more than one hundred countries, from Indonesia to South America. ... International students are shown harvesting and weighing fish (probably tilapia) at an Auburn University research pond in about the late 1980s.They helped measure the growth rate of the fish as part of a 12-to-16-week, not-for-credit course that covered the basics of aquaculture. The students took back to their home countries skills that helped people in rural communities produce fish to eat and to sell.
