This study was carried out as a request by the Government of Indonesia to the FAO Regional Fish Culturist prior to his transfer to the SCS Programme. The mission is therefore on behalf of the South China Sea Programme. It is requested that some aspects of the recommendations could be implemented with the assistance of the FAO fishery projects in Indonesia. The government may also wish to seek the assistance of the Indian Ocean Programme as well.
