About 20 tons already have been ex ported, mainly to Rome. A pollution problem arose because every 1,000 tons of fish raised requires 2,500 tons of fish food, 60 percent of which is returned as waste. The Maritime Agricultural Center subsequently built in land sea water ponds to solve the problem. The Center is also breeding shrimp for export. Judaica Preserved in Japan WOODBRIDGE, Conn.
