Synopsis (short abstract) The detailed drawings and specifications for the construction of the Beymelek Lagoon Aquaculture Centre were reviewed during the mission. The main changes made concerned the project levels as a result of the new topographical plan which differed considerably from the provisional one. A set of 89 drawings has been prepared by the Turkish engineers in accordance with the specifications provided by the Consultants during the last mission, together with calculations, bills of quantities and costings for the construction work and main equipment. A work plan has been prepared which aims at having the hatchery constructed and operational before December 1989, the time when natural reproduction starts. This plan calls for the construction work to begin within May 1989. On the basis of the budget made available by the Ministry of Agriculture: 575 million T.L. for construction work and 372 million T.L. for equipment; lists for both have been prepared. The Ministry of Transport will allocate a further sum for the construction of the sea-dykes (estimated cost: 415 million T.L.). Part of the equipment will be imported directly by the Ministry of Agriculture and part will be purchased by FAO as part of the UNDP contribution. Equipment and specification lists have been forwarded to both parties. The Government of Turkey should furnish all personnel, equipment and facilities needed on the project site from the beginning of the construction work. U.N.D.P. will supply a Senior Advisor from September 1989, with one or two preliminary missions by the same (May - July) and two specialists for the hatchery operation, in accordance with the programme and assignment chart with reference to consultancies as previously prepared.

    Main detailed drawings and specifications were provided during the mission for the establishment of the Beymelek Lagoon Aquaculture Centre. Turkish engineers are completing detailed construction drawings, calculations, specifications, bills of quantities and costings. A detailed and up-to-date work plan was prepared which allows for beginning of construction in April/May. The programmes and budget were revised for the Project Personnel as part of the U.N.D.P. contribution. Following the reco mmendations made during last mission (18 M/M for consultants, 18 M/M for a hatchery specialist and 24–30 M/M for the Senior Advisor), a budget extension was accepted by U.N.D.P. to cover 15 M/M, 6 M/M and 18 M/M, respectively. Should the project proceed and develop according to the plan and expected inputs, the U.N.D.P. contribution towards the Project Personnel should be extended at least to 1990 and 1991. Final equipment lists and estimated budget were prepared. The equipment covered by U.N. D.P. contribution includes hatchery and laboratory equipment. The contribution (112.000 USD) is not sufficient to cover the equipment to be imported for the project. Through a cost sharing agreement, additional equipment (hatchery special equipment, main pumps and a generator) will be covered by G.O.T. contribution and be imported by U.N.D.P. (approximately 500.000 USD in 1989). The same agreement should be established for further equipment to be imported in 1990 and 1991. The Senior Advisor and National project Coordinator will prepare up-to-date lists for equipment to be purchased locally in 1989 and for the whole equipment required for project implementation in 1990 and 1991. Outlines of the training courses, fellowships and study tours have already been discussed with the National Project Coordinator. Definite programmes will be established by Senior Advisor and Project Coordinator.

    The priorities of the mission were to provide the outline design of the Beymelek Lagoon Aquaculture Centre, to estimate provisional costs for the establishment and the operation of the Centre and to prepare the work plan for the implementation of the project. The main objectives of the project are the transfer of established technologies for the production of fry and the rearing of marine fish species (sea bass and sea bream) and shrimp, and the development of training programmes at a national level. Furthermore, improvement of the lagoon management by local fishermen's cooperatives is necessary. The farm is designed for a yearly production of 100 t of sea bass, 50 t of sea bream and 10 t of shrimp using both intensive and semi-intensive rearing technologies. The marine hatchery has a yearly production capacity of 400 000 sea bass and 200 000 sea bream fry in addition to the production of shrimp post-larvae. Maximum flexibility is given to the project in order to adapt production s trategies to changing market requirements. The collection of wild fry will be carried out to support the semi-intensive and extensive culture of sea bream and mullets in earth ponds and lagoon. A new and up-to-date fish barrier will allow control of fish migrations and production in the lagoon, which will also benefit from the establishment of a permanent communication channel to the sea. The Turkish Government will contribute to the project mainly through the financing of all capital costs (building and equipment) and operating costs. It will also be responsible for the full organization of the construction, and together with the specialist project staff, the operation of the farm and the training programmes of the Centre.

    On December 1994 the marine fish hatchery of the Beymelek Lagoon Aquaculture Centre (Sü Ürünleri Üretim ve Gelistirme Merkez Müdürlügü - Kale, Antalya) started its second seabream fry production. On January 1995 it was followed by seabass fry production. The hatchery activity is running on a regular schedule. All units are working in a proper way and all the minor technical problems faced during the start up of the second production season have been solved. For two years in succession, the l ocal hatchery staff have been trained and thoroughly tested under true mass production conditions. It is believed that its technical skillness is at present well sufficient to run the hatchery without any further technical supervision. A greater commitment is however requested to guarantee continuity of results, as well as more attention has to be paid on the day-by-day routine work. When the consultant left (end of February), no fingerling counting was available due to their early age. Howeve r, based on the production experience of last year until April 1994, a good estimate of the hatchery final output can be assessed. In the larval unit a fairly higher larval density of seabream larvae on a greater number of tanks than last year was achieved and three out of five weaning tanks stocked with seabream eggs were running at least at the same level of 1994. Considering a total amount of 4958000 viable larvae with a conservative final survival rate of 8%, the overall final seabream out put should be around 400000 fry. As regards seabass production, four weaning tanks and five spawning tanks have been stocked with eggs for a total amount of 4794000 viable larvae. Adopting a conservative final survival rate of 20%, production should not be less than 1000000 fingerlings.
