This report describes the results of a fish feed survey conducted in twelve developing countries, review of each country's ability to meet future feed demand for aqua-culture, and results of the initial efforts of the ADCP fish diet development programme in the areas of fish feed formulation, diet testing and feed manufacture in those countries. This work was carried out with the cooperation of Government fisheries departments and research institutions and with the assistance of national counterparts.
The countries covered in this report are: Brazil, Egypt, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal, Nigeria, The Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tunisia and Venezuela.
The present work was started in early 1979 as a follow-up of the UNDP/FAO Training Course in Fish Feed Technology in Seattle (ADCP/REP/79/8).
