No results found.This is the report of the Regional Expert Consultation on Selection Criteria and Priority Rating for Assistance to Traditional Biomass Energy Using Industries, held in Malaysia in January 1996. Traditional biomass energy using industries play an important if not vital role in local economies in many countries in the region by providing local employment as well as making use of local available raw materials. However, at the same time many of these traditional biomass energy-using industries are facing many constraints. This is basically caused by the use of outdated technologies, problems with obtaining credits, invest capital as well as problems with getting assistance and advice from relevant support organizations. Extensive discussions of which the results are described in this report in the form of selection criteria to be used for the selection of those industries which should receive priority for further assistance. These consist of 5 main rural based industries/activities e. g. the brick and rooftile industries, lime burning, the tobacco and sugar industries as well as charcoal making including briquetting and wood drying. Summaries of country statements as well as papers prepared by resource persons give an overview of the status of rural based biomass energy using industries in the regions as well as an overview of potential options for and available support mechanisms/systems for this sector of the industry. Conclusions and recommendations are given which fo cus on mechanisms which can be used for selecting industries as well as the need to improve the database of the sector and for more cooperation and coordination among local organizations as well as international organizations. -

No results found.Netcage culture is a popular method of rearing finfish along the coastline. This new technology utilizes little physical facilities, less space, low initial investment and is moderately inexpensive to operate. Another advantage is the easy and fast harvesting of live fish which fetch higher price in the market. There are two general types of cages, floating and stationary. A floating cage is made up of a floating unit from which a single or a series of netcages are suspended. Some of them are mobile and can be easily towed away. A stationary cage, on the other hand, is tied to fixed poles at their corners. In Asia, finfish like grouper (Epinephelus tauvina), seabass (Lates calcarifer), snapper (Lutjanus spp.) and siganid (Siganus spp.) are cultured in commercial scales in tropical countries such as Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia and Hong Kong. While other finfish like red sea-bream (Pagrosomus major), black sea-bream (Sparus microcephalus), yellow tail (Seriola quinqueradiata), flatfish (Paralichthys olivaceus) etc., are cultured in temperate waters, such as in China, DPRKorea, ROKorea and Japan. Proper site selection for marine netcage culture is of paramount importance as it may considerably affect construction costs, operating costs, growth and survival rate of the fish, and the period of usefulness of the cages. Although floating cages can be usually towed away, sometimes it is not economical to do so -
