Synopsis (short abstract) The FAO/UNDP Ad hoc Consultation on Aid for Aquaculture Development held in La Toja (Pontevedra, Spain), 20-23 June 1978.1/ considered inter alia information requirements for rapid development of aquaculture, especially in developing countries. The Consultation concluded that a free exchange of information is of primary importance in the development of aquaculture, particularly since the major increases in production in the near future are expected to be achieved through transfer of technology. A unified comprehensive information gathering, processing and dissemination system would be necessary to meet the needs of aqua-culture development. The existing information systems of some relevance to aquaculture attempt only bibliographic coverage of aquaculture publications. But of greater significance to development would be unconventional types of information and data contained in unpublished documents and restricted reports which are not at present covered to any appreciable extent. It is necessary to organize the collection of such information on a decentralized basis and arrange for the processing of inputs from various sources for feedback of the total processed information to input stations for dissemination in appropriate forms. The meeting was not able to discuss the details of the information to be collected, but suggested that the assistance of a small group may be sought for this purpose.

    An overview of the fisheries and aquaculture information resources available or produced in Africa has been compiled using the CDS/ISIS software. The Directory includes details of the information resources and services of international organizations, regional bodies and networks; and national institutions and organizations in Africa. Fisheries and aquaculture periodicals and newsletters published in Africa are listed, as well as brief details of relevant Internet sites. The main purpose of the D irectory is to facilitate more effective dissemination of fisheries and aquaculture information and to promote collaboration and information-resource sharing activities between fisheries institutions in ica.

    Aquaculture development and coordination programme. Fish feed technology. Lectures presented at the FAO/UNDP Training Course in Fish Feed Technology, Seattle, Washington, 9 October - 15 December 1978 1980
    Also available in:

    The need for developing suitable feeds based on locally available inexpensive ingredients has been widely recognized. Since lack of trained personnel is the main constraint in the development of fish feed technology in developing countries, the FAO/UNDP Aquaculture Development and Coordination Programme (ADCP) organized a special training course in fish feed technology at the College of Fisheries, University of Washington, Seattle, with a view to forming a small corps of fish feed specialists wh o could then be the focal points for future feed development programmes in their respective countries. The first report of the training course was presented in the report ADCP /REP/79/8. This present volume represents the edited texts of lectures presented by different specialists. Some additional material has been included for more complete coverage of the subject. Together, these texts may be considered to constitute a manual on fish feed technology, even though they were not prepared for that purpose. Twenty-six papers are included, under the general headings: (1) Digestion, physiology and anatomy; (2) nutritional bioenergetics; (3) nutritional biochemistry; (4) feedstuffs; (5) feed formulation; (6) feed manufacturing technology; (7) practical diets; and (8) quality control. Appendices include conversion tables, electrical data, and details on pelletability of selective feedstuffs, pellet die specifications, and equipment requirements for an 8 ton an hour feed mill.
