   During the presence of foreign experts in Zawia fish farm, the training of 2 more technicians, not necessarily to be employed in the farm, is recommended.

5. Ph.D level training

   In the interest of national development in marine aquaculture a programme of advanced overseas post graduate training could be considered at one or more of the international institutions specialized in this field. The timing of this would have to be considered carefully to avoid depleting the initial project of valuable staff.

6. Longer term training support

   It is probable that further onsite training and external technical training will be required for subsequent years of operation.

Note:   Allowance may also be required for the provision of language training a minimum of two (2), preferably three (3) months would be required.
