Synopsis (short abstract) A general background on economic seaweeds with particular reference to the species found in the countries bordering the South China Sea is given. Supported by data from surveys initiated by this Programme, previous studies by the consultant and available published material, an appraisal of the resources and possibilities for their culture is reported for the different countries in the region. Sufficient information has been accumulated to formulate a project proposal for seaweed culture at a sel ected site in the Region. This proposal is appended to this paper and means for its implementation are recommended.

    On a worldwide basis, pond culture of finfish produces about 75 percent of the production in weight and utilizes about 90 percent of the area devo ed to aquaculture. It is estimated that it has stimulated a capital exchange investment of about US$3 500 million. The potential for increasing aquaculture production through pond culture of finfish is high. An analysis is made of the economics of finfish pond culture in order to: (i) establish improved management practices that will make the indust ry more profitable; (ii) guide the formulation of policies and programmes which affect development of the aquaculture industry. The species considered in this study are: milkfish, common carp, Chinese carp, Indian major carps, catfishes (channel, Clarias, pangasid), tilapia, grey mullet, eel and rainbow trout. The profitability of the use of monoculture versus polyculture and the use of extensive versus intensive techniques are explored with respect to a number of these species.

    Upon the request of the Government of Indonesia, a short-term technical assistance on seaweed farming was rendered. The authors gathered available background information and field work led by the senior author was conducted in four selected provinces in the country in April 1980. Nine sites were surveyed, three of which were identified as suitable sites for pilot demonstration of seaweed farming. A programme of development of these farms and the facilities and training needs required are describ ed. A draft proposal for technical assistance project in this type of seafarming is appended.
