    The consultant team which consisted of inland fisheries specialist, Mr I.G. Dunn, and aquatic weed specialist, Mr G. Sainty, travelled to Egypt to undertake a study of the problem of aquatic weed control in relation to the fisheries on Lake Edku and the Barsik Fish Farm, both situated in the Nile Delta. Their visit to Egypt was from 28 August to 20 September 1985. The results of their visit are summarized in two Field Documents. It was considered that the close interaction between the conditio ns of weed growth and the fish production and yield demanded that the consultants approached the study as a collaborative project. However, the results of their study are presented as two separate reports, one of which (Field Document l based on the work of I.G. Dunn) concentrates mainly on fisheries associated problems, the other dealing with the weed aspects (Field Document 2, based on the work of G. Sainty). The terms of reference for the inland fisheries specialist were:

    There are many kinds of aquatic plants which are, or could be, utilized for such purposes as feeds, fuel, building materials, soil improvement and water purification. As some of these plants can also be a nuisance to fisheries, water transportation, or water supply systems, it is desirable to find ways of controlling such vegetation by harvesting and using it. The water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes, is a well-known example of a nuisance plant which could be used in many ways. This volume provides a comprehensive reference to all of the important aspects of utilization of aquatic plants, listing, with annotations, more than 250 books, scientific papers and other publications. The largest section concerns the chemical composition and productivity of various species and a large number of analytical results are quoted. Also included are sections on harvesting and protein extraction, as well as on the various types of uses of these plants . An author index and an index of plants are included.
