It can be said that the engineering aspect of brackish water aquaculture industry in the region has attained a level commensurate with the present capabilities of the countries where it is now practiced. In general, as a physical unit, existing projects are hardly adequate. Aquaculture farm engineering as an art (as perhaps at this stage it is more of an art than a technology) has been a product of long development and experience by the people in the industry themselves or witho ut the contribution from organized research. It is only within very recent years that a limited amount of attention is being called to the importance of this phase of the industry. 2. Manpower and equipment. Due to the circumstances cited above the industry has not been utilizing much of labour-saving or mechanized equipment both for operation and construction. At present the industry is largely labour-intensive and depends on simple locally-devised equipment which have been developed through the years. Likewise the specialized manpower for construction and maintenance is localized and often very limited so that in many potential focal points of development this can be a major constraint. 3. Projects as engineering units. The physical make-up of brackish water aquaculture projects in the region are in general weak and inadequate as engineering structures, many of them are not geared to the production management for which they are established. For extensive type production in many d eveloping areas of the region, present projects have served for the conduct of subsistence level operation where constant maintenance is being carried out. However, to maximize production; project design, proper layout and adequate construction specifications, etc. are required. -

Also available in:
No results found.Cage culture of marine fish was initially identified as a possible activity to provide employment for poor fishermen at the Kuala Besut Small-Scale Fisheries Development pilot site, Kuala Besut, Trengganu, Malaysia. The following work describes the preliminary hydrographic and biological surveys made to determine the feasibility of starting a pilot cage culture project in the area. Subsequently, a plan of work was drafted and actual implementation was started. Activities included the collection of suitable fish for stocking the demonstration cages, the construction of cages using designs found successful in other areas and rearing of selected species of fish in the cages. This work is continuing and future work plans have been formulated. Environmental conditions and results of the trial culture operations are being monitored. Training of local counterpart staff and fish farmers is a part of this work.
