    This assignment, conducted from 23 June to 31 August 1975, was designed to initiate cage culture research at the Fish Culture Research Institute (FCRI), Szarvas, Hungary. Previous work on cage culture was studied and evaluated and a new research programme was begun using thirteen cages designed and built at FCRI. Other areas of Hungary were visited as possible cage culture sites including the hatchery of Szazhalombatta. Daily consultations were conducted with the two local staff members assi gned to the cage culture project. Lectures illustrated with slides were presented to the staff. A review paper on cage culture was written and translated into Hungarian for a national fisheries magazine. Recommendations were made for future research and education.

    Project
    Nepal - Cage culture of fish (carps) in Nepal. A report prepared for the integrated fisheries and fish culture development project 1980

    Work carried out on the culture of fish in cages in Nepal, the introduction of the practice to private fishermen by the project and its technical and economic aspects are described in this report. A variety of cages were tried, their relative advantages and disadvantages and costs are provided. The species tried were mainly silver carp and grass carp and they have proved to be economical because of the relatively low or negligible feed costs involved. Rohu and common carp yield additional inci dental production when stocked in small numbers with the above species. Preliminary experiments on the culture of bighead carp in cages have also been very encouraging. An explanation for different growth rates observed of planktivorous species in the three lakes of the Pokhara Valley is provided on the basis of limnological data and qualitative and quantitative studies of plankton, as well as stomach content studies. The economics of cage culture with these species is discussed. The results are compared with those obtained with other species in other countries. Suggestions are provided for future work, including variations of stocking densities. The possible initial increase in fish production in the Pokhara Valley through cagefish culture is indicated. Recommendations for the future are also provided.
