Synopsis (short abstract) Presented in the following discussions are summaries of conditions of fishfarms and brackishwater sites visited and suggestions for improving the engineering of coastal fishfarms in the country, (for existing, underconstruction and proposed farms). The various problems in relation to the engineering aspects of aquaculture in the eastern and western coasts were identified and suggestions, recommendations and solutions to problems, particulary in the engineering of the fishfarms visited, are pre sented. The lack or absence of a proper plan, workable designs, material and work specifications for the farms of India has obviously resulted in waste of money, time and effort. The fishfarms visited were seen to be in need of remodelling if to make them workable and economically viable as a production farm. The brackishwater sites have big potentials for development into fishfarms if with designs to suit the varied conditions of climate, tidal amplitude, wave and tidal influence, water qua lity and soil characteristics obtaining in the five site types 1.
