FAO 1969 Report to the Government of Nepal on fish culture development. Based on the work of K.K.Zwilling, FAO/TA Fish Culturist. Rep. FAO/UNDP(TA), 2754.
| ABSTRACT |
| An FAO/UNDP(TA) Fish Culturist served in Nepal intermittently from 1963 to 1968 to aid in the development of fish culture. |
| Various fish pond sites were surveyed, lay-out plans of pond systems were made, and construction specifications for bunds, water leads, monks, inlets and outlets were prepared. Equipment and facilities needed to make the fish ponds function properly were also designed and constructed. Rice-cum-fish culture trials were made and demonstrated. |
| Upon the request of the Government, technical assistance was rendered to the private sector, and training given to the staff of the Department of Fisheries and various fish farms. |
| This report includes detailed plans of construction and management programmes for two major government fish farms (Pipley and Bhandar Hardi); execution of these programmes is being carried out with the assistance of the World Food Programme (WFP). Recommendations for the overall development of fish culture in Nepal are enumerated. |
