Abstract
In view of the interest for Research in aquaculture, a Seminar on Research Sub-Networking was held in Cyprus on October 22–25 1991, to assess the research capacities and needs of each member country in order to establish a relevant Network.
The National and Sub-Regional reports on the capabilities and needs, and the case studies introduced by specialised regional institutions (CIHEAM, HAKI, UNEP) allowed to express the experience and opportunities that they could provide to favour the implementation of a Network on Research.
On the basis of the presented communications and the collected data from the participants, the following priority topics were selected as sub-networks:
Cyprus, Portugal, Egypt, Tunisia, Malta and Morocco have been mentioned as possible respective coordination centres for these sub-networks.
The participants were divided into groups to deal with the objectives, the identification of priorities for the elaboration of programes of activities and the possible funding of these sub-networks.
It was proposed that MEDRAP II should consider the possibility of promoting a publication dealing with Aquaculture development in the Mediterranean and particularly on MEDRAP activities.
Acknowledgements
The Editior would like to thank the Cypriot Authorities, namely H.E. the Minister of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the National Coordinator, Mr. Andreas Demetropoulos, for the remakable help and assistance in the organisation of the meeting.
The Editor would also like to thank the UNDP Representatives, the participants and the invited experts for their positive contribution to the success of the meeting.
Note from the reviser
The revision and publication of this document could only be done a long after the closure of the project. This has led to some difficulties in finalising the documents and implementing corrections, because authors and contributors as well as some of the original material or files were no longer available.
Therefore contributions from participants and session papers annexed to most of the documents were left in their original from. No language corrections were introduce, the content was not modified and left under their respective authors' responsibility.
Considering the above, we hope that the reader will understand that a standard of publication could not be maintained on a level as high as we would have liked it to be.
