The numbering of reports in the UNDP(TA) sub-series on fisheries also remains unbroken and follows consecutively the numbering of the former EPTA sub-series of fisheries reports.
The present report is the ninety-fifth report in the UNDP(TA) fisheries sub-series: FAO Fish. UNDP(TA) Rep., FRi/UNDP(TA) 95.
