Synopsis (short abstract) The second, in a series of three English-language Training Courses in Aquaculture, financed jointly by AGFUND and the Government of Hungary, was held from 3 August to 29 October 1987. Eighteen participants from fourteen countries in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean attended this course on Freshwater Fish-Farm Management. The course was divided between two countres in Hungary, the first 10 weeks being spent at the Fisheries Research Institute, Szarvas, and the last three weeks at the Warmwater Fish Hatchery, Százhalombatta. Instruction took the form of approximately 40% practical classes and 60% lectures. Most of the lecturers were Hungarian experts, with the addition of international consultants recruited by FAO to cover specialized topics when necessary. Field study tours to visit commercial fish-farms and related industries were also arranged. The quality and success of the course was evaluated by the participants in confidential questionnaires. These revealed a high level of sat isfaction with most aspects of the organization and teaching, though some improvements, concerning in particular the amount of practical classes and the level of participaninvolvement were suggested. The Second International Training Course in Aquaculture was thus a successful part of the series.

    The first in a series of three English-language International Training Courses in Aquaculture, financed jointly by AGFUND and the Government of Hungary, was held from 13 April to 10 July 1987. Eighteen participants from fifteen countries in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean attended this course in Warmwater Fish Hatchery Management. The course was divided between two centres in Hungary, the first two months being spent at the Warmwater Fish Hatchery, Százhalombatta, and the final month at the F ish Culture Research Institute, Szárvás. Instruction took the form of approximately 50 percent practical classes and 50 percent lectures. Most of the teachers were Hungarian experts, with the addition of international consultants recruited by FAO to cover specialist topics when necessary. Field study tours to visit commercial fish-farms and ancillary industries were also arranged. The quality and success of the course was evaluated by the participants in confidential questionnaires. These reve aled a high level of satisfaction with most aspects of the organization and teaching, though some improvements to the design of practical classes, allowing more personal student involvement in tasks, were considered desirable for future courses.

    For decades, fish farmers in Asia and the Pacific region obtained their supply of fish seed from natural sources. In most areas, the availability of seeds from these waters has become scarce. The supply has shown a marked decline which cannot meet the demand of expanding fish culture. The rapid development of aquaculture in the region has required the establishment of fish hatcheries for the mass production of fry. Hatchery operations have been activated in order to produce adequate fry to suppo rt the needs of fish farmers. There are presently in operation many commercial and experimental hatcheries in the region. Larval rearing of finfish, shrimps and prawns, and shellfish in hatcherie entails the culture of food organisms to assure the favourable growth and survival of the young. The culture of certain plankton species for feeding milkfish fry and penaeid post-larvae, for instance, has been practiced in several Asian countries. In hatchery operations, the use of certain-kinds of pl ankton as food is important. Hatcheries utilize artificially grown food organisms in their larval rearing.
