Also available in:
No results found.This working paper contains the reports of two consultants to our project who advised on related topics. The first report (pp 1–39) is that of Dr. S. (Ken) Johnson of Texas A & M University who spent one month in Thailand in June/July 1980. During this time he also provided assistance to project THA/75/012 (Pond Management and Fish Diseases) and to marine shrimp workers in the Brackishwater Fisheries Division of the Department of Fisheries. The second report (pp40–45) was provided by Dr. Pau l A. Sandifer who was in Thailand for only 10 days, including five during which he participated in the meeting Giant Prawn 1980 and presented two papers2 on his work at the Marine Resources Research Institute in Charleston, South Carolina. In addition to presenting papers at Giant Prawn 1980, both Dr. Johnson and Dr. Sandifer chaired sessions at the meeting and contributed enthusiastically to formal and informal discussion sessions. Their visits to Thailand were well appreciated here. -
No Thumbnail AvailableProjectManual / guideBrine shrimp (Artemia salina) inoculation in tropical salt ponds: a preliminary guide for use in Thailand 1979
Also available in:
No results found.This work paper is prepared in view of the wish of the Thai Department of Fisheries to inoculate salt ponds with Artemia salina to produce cysts. Artemia cysts are used to obtain live food in many aquacultural operations, but especially in the hatchery of the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii. These inoculations, if successful, could encourage the Thai Government in the future to conduct experiments in large-scale cyst production. Indeed, up to this date, Thailand completely de pends on import of expensive Artemia cysts from abroad. The yearly expenditure in cysts by the Department of Fisheries for the national fisheries stations, is estimated to be more than US$50 000. The inoculation ponds considered are: (i) ponds in the National Fishery Station at Samut Sakhorn (still to be completed), and (ii) privately-owned salt ponds of salt farmers in the vicinity of the National Fishery Station at Chachoengsao. Although previously, several inoculations in other parts of t he world have proven to be successful, no written guides are yet available. Trial inoculations in Thailand being considered important, the necessity was felt to gather all available information on Artemia inoculations and cyst production into one working paper to serve as guide on improving the chances of a successful experiment. -

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
