This paper describes the background, objectives, modus operandi and implementation of a coastal aquaculture project in Ban Merbok, Kedah, Malaysia. It was executed by the Department of Fisheries, Government of Malaysia, with technical assistance from the small-scale fisheries project of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP). Preliminary activities commenced in June 1979 and the project terminated in October 1983. The document describes the pre-culture and culture practices for shrimp and finfish undertaken by the project, the problems encountered, the results obtained; it also outlines the project’s training activities, both in hatchery management and in culture practices. It contains observations on the basis of the project’s experience. The portion of the report dealing with culture trials and hatchery technology is based on the unpublished work of the BOBP consultant master fish farmer Mr. A. K. Rasul and the consultant hatchery technologist, Mr. Niwes Ruangpanit. The BOBP’s technical assistance consisted of engineering, design and aquaculture studies in the planning phase; hatchery technology and the pond culture of shrimp and finfish in the operational phase. Up to the end of 1980 technical support inputs were handled on behalf of BOBP by the South China Sea Fisheries Development and Coordination Programme (SCSP). |
