Synopsis (short abstract) A priority activity of the SCSP is to stimulate the development of aquaculture as an integrated part of the total development of fisheries. Based on its work to date, one of the major constraints found is the lack of practical, sound, workable, engineering practices to guide development. It is felt that all the expertise required exists in the region, but that it is unevenly distributed and not well known among the countries. This Workshop has provided a vehicle for the exchange of very usefu l engineering practices and further it has given valuable guidance to the Programme in its future activities to assist the region particularly in small-scale fisheries development. It has been carried out with close cooperation of SEAFDEC in providing its facilities and staff and as well as the lodging and living expenses of the participants while attending the Workshop. The Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources assisted also in the organization and implementation. Close collab oration, support and participation was given by the private sector, through the Philippine Federation of Fishfarm Producers, Inc.

    Follow-up assistance by a fishery biologist and a master fish farmer to the fish cage farming activity at the Kuala Besut Small-Scale Fisheries Pilot Project was undertaken. The problems encountered with the original cages set in the Kuala Setiu Lagoon were identified. New innovations with regards to the physical structure of the cages as well as with their management were initiated to try to solve some of the problems. Continued implementation of this activity was pursued by the master fish far mer within a three-month stay at the site.

    . 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.
