Also available in:
No results found.This is a weighty report of formidable bulk and understandably so. Rarely has a Workshop in Bangladesh or anywhere else been so comprehensive in mandate or assembled such an array of fisheries expertise. Why was the workshop held? Quite simply, to give effect to Bangladesh's vision of fisheries development and management, set forth in its Perspective Development Plan for 1995-2010. That plan seeks to increase production of fish, manage and conserve fisheries resources for present and futur e generations, encourage private enterprise, increase overall economic growth, and generate employment and incomes, particularly for the rural poor and unemployed youth. These are comprehensive goals, and call for clear guidelines and strategies to address the problems and concerns of fisheries. The National Workshop on Fisheries Resources Development and Management, in Bangladesh, held 29 October-1 November, 1995, in Dhaka, sought to evolve such guidelines and strategies. The Worksh op's recommendations are wide-ranging. They relate to the management of inland fisheries, brackishwater and marine fisheries resources; the management needs of freshwater, marine and brackishwater aquaculture; integrated management of land and water; financing of all these sectors; the legal framework for fishing community development and management; the marketing of fish and fish products. In sum, the Workshop (sponsored jointly by the FAO through BOBP, and the ODA) left nothing uncovered or untouched. The report of this Workshop should therefore be a valuable document - for research and reference, and for the needs of everyone who is concerned with fisheries development and management in Bangladesh. -

No results found.An assessment of marine and freshwater aquaculture potentialities in Grenada was carried out by 2 engineers of the French Company FRANCE-AQUACULTURE from October 1, 1986 to October 21, 1986. It showed that, technically, Grenada has large aquaculture potentialities : About 100 ha of coastal flat lands can be utilized for the gorw-out phase of both freshwater prawns and marine shrimps ; Large protected bays are suitable for the intensive culture of marine fish, seamoss (algae) and eventually King Crab ; Excellent hatchery sites for freshwater prawns, marine shrimps and marine fishes. However, due to : The present weakness of the national economy, and the priority for export and touristic markets ; The large potentialities of the fisheries sector. The consultants suggest the first priority should be the development of freshwater prawn culture in Grenada. The advantages of that form of aquaculture for Grenada can be summarized as follows : The production process is fully controlled and the activity can immediately start on a commercial basis in Grenada provided the proper technology be introduced in the country ; The activity will be financially viable in the country with a Financial Internal Rate of Return ranging between 16 % and 23 % (for one grow-out farm of 1 ha only). Furthermore, it will be accessible for large and small investors ; The objective of production is about 50 tons/year. It will allow to create 70–90 jobs at the production level (induced j obs not included) ; The activity is a low energy consumer (water supplied by gravity into the grow-out ponds) and the required feed (dry pellet) can be locally manufactured. Freshwater prawn culture does not exist in Grenada and the role of the Government will be to promote it. It will be possible with a PROJECT consisting of : The implementation and operation of a demonstration farm including 5 grow-out ponds of 2 000 m2 each and one small hatchery ; -

Also available in:
No results found.This report gives an account of penaeid shrimp culture development work including postlarval production, nursery rearing and pond culture. The postlarval culture method was established for Penaeus monodon and P. merguiensis using different types of culture vessels. The total number of postlarvae produced in 1975 was 580 300 and production has increased to over 4 million in 1977; this figure will be rapidly increased in 1978 from induced gonad maturation and spawning. The highest P. monodon postl arvae per brood in a 10 m3 tank was achieved by producing 375 000 with 73 percent survival, and 320 000 with 52 percent survival for P. merguiensis. Mass-culture systems of phytoplankton and rotifers were established for larval food organisms. The particulated soybean curd and rotifers were used for the larval diet to substitute for Artemia nauplii. Artemia will still be needed for a better survival rate. Various types of nursery methods were experimented on formulated diet and on natural food in ponds; the optimal nursery stocking densities were determined. A series of pond culture results indicated that interim fish extermination by using 7 ppm derris root extract was effective. The annual shrimp production in pond projected from preliminary results indicated that 600 kg per ha per year is possible, utilizing natural productivity with the fertilization but no feeding. This phase of the work needs to be repeated. Based on the experiments, recommendations are outlined for f urther work to increase production.
