    . Present state. It can be said that the engineering aspect of brackish water aquaculture industry in the region has attained a level commensurate with the present capabilities of the countries where it is now practiced. In general, as a physical unit, existing projects are hardly adequate. Aquaculture farm engineering as an art (as perhaps at this stage it is more of an art than a technology) has been a product of long development and experience by the people in the industry themselves or witho ut the contribution from organized research. It is only within very recent years that a limited amount of attention is being called to the importance of this phase of the industry. 2. Manpower and equipment. Due to the circumstances cited above the industry has not been utilizing much of labour-saving or mechanized equipment both for operation and construction. At present the industry is largely labour-intensive and depends on simple locally-devised equipment which have been developed through the years. Likewise the specialized manpower for construction and maintenance is localized and often very limited so that in many potential focal points of development this can be a major constraint. 3. Projects as engineering units. The physical make-up of brackish water aquaculture projects in the region are in general weak and inadequate as engineering structures, many of them are not geared to the production management for which they are established. For extensive type production in many d eveloping areas of the region, present projects have served for the conduct of subsistence level operation where constant maintenance is being carried out. However, to maximize production; project design, proper layout and adequate construction specifications, etc. are required.

    This working paper is the report of a three-member mission from the Directorate General of Fisheries, Indonesia, which visited Andhra Pradesh for six weeks early in 1981 at the request of the Government. The FAO/SIDA Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP) acted as supporting agency for the mission in accordance with the Buenos Aires Action Plan of the United Nations to foster Technical Cooperation among Developing Countries (TCDC). Several people in the state assisted the mission during the study; Mr. S. Banerjee, Director of Fisheries, and other fishery officers in Hyderabad and at district levels in Krishna, West Godavari, East Godavari, Srikakulam and Nellore provided information and made necessary arrangements for field visits and interviews; logistic support from district collectors and sub-collectors greatly facilitated the work of the mission. Dr. M. Karim of the BOBP assisted the mission during the study and the report preparation. The costs of travel and of servicing the m ission were met by BOBP, also the costs of publication of the report.
