No results found.During the year of the author's assignment at the Bhairawa Fishery Development Centre about 1 117 000 fingerlings were produced; this is the highest figure obtained. Unfortunately, the water supply was insufficient; otherwise the production of fish fingerlings would have been higher. With regard to integrated fish culture farming, demonstrations of fish-cum-pig and fish-cum-duck culture were set up at the Government fish farm. The results were good, the fish production ranging from 1 845.56 to 2 443.34 kg/ha/yr. At present farmers show great interest in these activities. Previously, integrated fish farming was not accepted by them due to high capital investment and lack of experience. However, guidance in this respect was given to the farmers during in-service training conducted by the project. After participating in the training courses many have started farming fish integrated with livestock. In Pokhara, the work mainly involved cage fish culture; the number of cage owners increase d from 13 in 1978 to 63 in 1979. The boatbuilding activities have also progressed well. The number of boats built increased from 51 in 1978 to 63 in 1979. Through in-service training, cage owners from various lakes were instructed in cage fish culture, and 16 US volunteers and 61 farmers from the villages around Bhairawa were trained in various aspects of fish culture. -

No results found.Fish marketing advice formed an important part of the activities of a project undertaken by the Government of the Philippines with assistance from the United Nations Special Fund 1 and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The work started under the Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance in 1965/66 and was completed under the Special Fund in 1967–69. A survey of fish marketing and distribution practices in the Philippines was conducted, and recommendations made conce rning wholesale markets, landing facilities, fish auctions, transport and distribution and certain aspects of fish processing. Two harbours, Navotas and Dalahican, were suggested for immediate consideration for the construction of fishing ports. Pending decisions on further fishing harbours, increased use should be made of existing inter-island shipping ports. Wholesale and retail prices of fish at the Navotas market and Manila markets were obtained for an 11 month period in 1968/69, and the d istribution of fish from Navotas to other provinces is reported on. 1 The United Nations Special Fund and the Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance were merged to form the United Nations Development Programme on 1 January 1966. The Food and Agriculture Organization is greatly indebted to the following organization and individuals who assisted in the implementation of the project by providing information, advice and facilities: -

Also available in:
No results found.Planning, including preparation of prefeasibility studies, and designing facilities and operations of fresh fish handling, storage, distribution and marketing is becoming Increasingly important in the countries developing their small, medium and/or large-scale fisheries industries. However, engineering data required for a successful planning are either scattered in numerous publications and therefore difficult to retrieve, or kept by consulting engineers in their private files, or just not readi ly available, in which case they have to be constructed or estimated every time they are needed. This document is the first attempt to present selected engineering data, in the specific subject matter field of fresh fish handling under a single cover. It is hoped that the work of the government authorities concerned with planning related to this specific subject matter field of fishery industries, as well as of consultants and other field workers involved, will be facilitated and become mor e uniform if they use this document. Major fields covered concern ice, its production, storage and use with fish, chill storage, insulated and non-insulated containers for fresh fish, in-plant transportation devices for fresh fish, as well as fish working premises.
