No results found.The Government of Saudi Arabia, assisted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, is engaged in the Fish Farming Centre Project (FI: UTFN/SAU/010/SAU), with its main activities directed to freshwater and marine aquaculture. The Government has been exploring means of reducing the country's dependance on imported fish products and is assisting in the development of aquaculture as one of the sources for the supply of fish. The Third Five-year National Plan for Fisheries Dev elopment included the construction of the Fish Farming Centre (FFC) north of Jeddah to test various approaches to aquaculture. The shallow lagoon at the Fish Farming Centre appeared to be suitable for fishpen industry development and along the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia there are numerous other shallow lagoons similar to the one near the FFC. These sites could be fully developed if the fishpen system of acquaculture proves technically and economically viable in the Red Sea. In this regard, assistance is needed in planning and installing pilot demonstration fishpens at the FFC shoreline lagoon. FAO has been consulting with ORSTOM1 regarding assistance to the project in developing the fishpen system of aquaculture at the FFC and an agreement was reached to assist the Centre in construction/installation of a pilot fishpen module at the project site in Jeddah. -

The workshop achieved the three objectives: (i) presented the results and analysis of the “RECOFI regional aquatic animal health capacity and performance su rvey”, (ii) prepared and finalized a “Proposal for a regional programme for improving aquatic animal health in RECOFI Member countries” based on the survey outcomes and workshop deliberation and brainstorming, and (iii) created awareness and initiated capacity building through a technical seminar on basic concepts and emerging issues concerning aquatic animal health. The long term vision of the regional programme for improving aquatic animal health capacity in the RECOFI Member countries is: “To develop and maintain aquatic animal health capacity in the RECOFI Region that will be able to support the sustainable development and management of the aquaculture sector while protecting regional biodiversity and aquatic ecosystems from the impacts of exotic pathogens and epizootic disease”.
