Abstract
The seminar on the constitution of the “Technology of Aquaculture” and the “Socio-Economic and Legal Aspects of Aquaculture” Networks was held in accordance with the recommendations of the Steering Committee meeting of Tirana, on May 19–21, 1993.
Based on the Networks Documents, elaborated by a consultant as a framework for discussions, the implementation of both networks was examined.
On the matter of the Technology of Aquaculture, it was emphasised that one of the limiting factors of aquaculture development was the lack of adapted tools. It was explained the procedure followed by a French institution in approaching the technological developments and it was recommended a) to identify and classify the needs, b) evaluate technical and economical feasibility, c) choose industrial partners, d) look for financial sources and e) contribute to promotion.
While initiating the Socio-Economic and Legal Aspects of Aquaculture, it was emphasised the recency and growing importance of this subject area. It was agreed that the first priority should be the economic framework for management and marketing in aquaculture, secondly the strategy for the integration of aquaculture, and lastly the legal framework and regulation of aquaculture.
During the discussions on the objectives and activities of both networks, it was agreed that the TECAM and SELAM shall utilise the existing technologies after identifying and classifying the needs in the meetings of their Coordination Committees.
In discussing the prerequisites for the establishment of the networks, it was reviewed the national input for a proper functioning of the networks.
Finally, the meeting decided that the TECAM and SELAM activities, approved by the Steering Committee, would be implemented by MEDRAP II during 1993, considered as Phase I of the Networks implementation.

Note from the reviser
The revision and publication of this document could only be done a long time after the closure of the project. This has led to some difficulties in finalising the documents and implementing corrections, because authors and contributors as well as some of the original material of tries were no longer available.
Therefore contributions from participants and session papers annexed to most of the documents were left in their original form. No language corrections were introduced, the content was not modified and left under their respective authors' responsibility.
Considering the above, we hope that the reader will understand that a standard of publication could not be maintained on a level as high as we would have liked it to be.
