WORK PLAN IMPLEMENTATION (General) SCS/GEN/77/15 December 1977

JOINT SCSP/SEAFDEC
REGIONAL WORKSHOP ON AQUACULTURE ENGINEERING
(with emphasis on small-scale aquaculture projects)

SOUTH CHINA SEA FISHERIES DEVELOPMENT AND COORDINATING PROGRAMME
Manila, Philippines
December 1977

VOLUME 2 - TECHNICAL REPORT

Held at SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department Facilities
Tigbauan, Iloilo, Philippines
27 November - 3 December 1977

A priority activity of the SCSP is to stimulate the development of aquaculture as an integrated part of the total development of fisheries. Based on its work to date, one of the major constraints found is the lack of practical, sound, workable, engineering practices to guide development. It is felt that all the expertise required exists in the region, but that it is unevenly distributed and not well known among the countries.

This Workshop has provided a vehicle for the exchange of very useful engineering practices and further it has given valuable guidance to the Programme in its future activities to assist the region, particularly in small-scale fisheries development.

It has been carried out with close cooperation of SEAFDEC in providing its facilities and staff and as well as the lodging and living expenses of the participants while attending the Workshop. The Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources assisted also in the organization and implementation. Close collaboration, support and participation was given by the private sector, through the Philippine Federation of Fishfarm Producers, Inc.

VOLUME 1 - GENERAL REPORT

VOLUME 2 - TECHNICAL REPORT

PREPARATION OF THE TECHNICAL REPORT

This Technical Report has been prepared as an adjunct of the General Report, separately published. The Technical Report presents the full report of each Panel Session and Sectoral Meeting, reproduces each of the Contributed Papers and furnishes an index of the Background Papers which were separately furnished to the participants. The Report essentially presents the Papers and forum discussions as developed by the participants. The General Report presents the overall aspects of the Workshop and summarizes findings and recommendations. The Workshop was jointly sponsored by the SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department and the SCSP. The Philippines, through the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, was the host country. This Report was compiled/prepared and edited by Mr. Robert H. Gedney, Workshop Director and Dr. Herminio R. Rabanal, Fishery Officer (Aquaculture Development) of the SCSP office.

TECHNICAL REPORT

THE REGIONAL WORKSHOP ON AQUACULTURE ENGINEERING

PREFACE

Dean D.K. Villaluz, Chief, Aquaculture Department, SEAFDEC, Iloilo

This Workshop was an important milestone in relating the Technical aspects of the on-going and emerging programmes of SEAFDEC with the needs of the countries participating in the Workshop. It is through these kinds of dialogues that we can keep our efforts in tune with the problems being encountered in the field and which need special attention. It has been our pleasure to furnish the use of our facilities and resources to support the logistics of the Workshop.
