No results found.The project was planned as a training mission both to assist the Government in developing procedures for assessing coastal aquaculture potential with respect primarily to fishpond culture, and to aid in evaluating the Balik Pulau site in Pinang. The activities and schedule of this project, as specified by the Government, are reproduced in Appendix 1. In addition, at a meeting on 10 November 1981, the Director-General of Fisheries, stated that one of the principal purposes of the programme of the Government was to improve the income of the artisanal fisherman by additionally making him a fish farmer as an integral part of coastal aquaculture development. This goal was fully considered in the study. The coastal fishery of the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia has been intensive (432 000 tons in 1979), resulting in a declining trend in annual fish landings and also a saturation of fishermen in recent years. Coastal mangrove areas are virtually unused for aquaculture. There are an estima ted 112000 ha in Peninsular Malaysia (Fig. 1) and 540 000 ha in Sabah and Sarawak. In the adjacent Philippines and in Thailand, mangrove swamps are being used extensively for coastal fishpond culture. To determine the potential of aquaculture in mangrove swamps in Malaysia, the Government is negotiating an extensive bilateral pre-feasibility study -

No results found.. Present state. It can be said that the engineering aspect of brackish water aquaculture industry in the region has attained a level commensurate with the present capabilities of the countries where it is now practiced. In general, as a physical unit, existing projects are hardly adequate. Aquaculture farm engineering as an art (as perhaps at this stage it is more of an art than a technology) has been a product of long development and experience by the people in the industry themselves or witho ut the contribution from organized research. It is only within very recent years that a limited amount of attention is being called to the importance of this phase of the industry. 2. Manpower and equipment. Due to the circumstances cited above the industry has not been utilizing much of labour-saving or mechanized equipment both for operation and construction. At present the industry is largely labour-intensive and depends on simple locally-devised equipment which have been developed through the years. Likewise the specialized manpower for construction and maintenance is localized and often very limited so that in many potential focal points of development this can be a major constraint. 3. Projects as engineering units. The physical make-up of brackish water aquaculture projects in the region are in general weak and inadequate as engineering structures, many of them are not geared to the production management for which they are established. For extensive type production in many d eveloping areas of the region, present projects have served for the conduct of subsistence level operation where constant maintenance is being carried out. However, to maximize production; project design, proper layout and adequate construction specifications, etc. are required.
