This working paper contains the reports of two consultants to our project who advised on related topics.
The first report (pp 1–39) is that of Dr. S. (Ken) Johnson of Texas A & M University who spent one month in Thailand in June/July 1980. During this time he also provided assistance to project THA/75/012 (Pond Management and Fish Diseases) and to marine shrimp workers in the Brackishwater Fisheries Division of the Department of Fisheries.
The second report (pp40–45) was provided by Dr. Paul A. Sandifer who was in Thailand for only 10 days, including five during which he participated in the meeting Giant Prawn 1980 and presented two papers2 on his work at the Marine Resources Research Institute in Charleston, South Carolina.
In addition to presenting papers at Giant Prawn 1980, both Dr. Johnson and Dr. Sandifer chaired sessions at the meeting and contributed enthusiastically to formal and informal discussion sessions. Their visits to Thailand were well appreciated here.
