FOREWORD
The Programme carried out preliminary studies on socio-cultural, socio-economic, bio-environmental and bio-technical aspects on aquaculture in rural development at the end of 1986 and at the beginning of 1987. Edited and in one case considerably shortened versions are presented in this document which served as a basis for discussion during the Technical Consultation on Aquaculture in Rural Development held at Lusaka 27–30 October 1987. The reports are presented as separate chapters with the authors' names given:
