The work plan for project implementation has been prepared to meet the objectives and outputs, and the expected timing of the project. In view of the particular importance of timely and effective design and construction, a significant increase in expert man-months will be required earlier in the project. The timing of the project implementation is based on the assumption that first growing has to start in spring 1990, both with wild-collected and hatchery-produced fry. The main critical steps are therefore:
the hatchery to start operation by October 1989
the hatchery and farm construction to start by April 1989
the detailed design therefore to be completed by December 1988.
The main steps and activities are detailed in Appendix A1.2.
The technical assistance through consultants, senior aquaculturist and associate professional officers constitutes a significant part of the UNDP contribution to the project. The following Bar Chart shows the timetable for the consultant missions and experts' assignments required for optimal project implementation. The following technical expertise is needed:
Aquaculture (Hatchery) Consultant (see Appendix A4.1)
The expert carried out the preliminary mission (August 1988) and should, if possible, participate in the next (October-December 1988) to finalize detailed design, in collaboration with local engineering staff (see below) and hydraulic engineering expert. The outline timing of this mission is 5 weeks at own office and 5 weeks in Turkey, starting mid-October. (Total 2.5 man-months)
Hydraulic Engineering Consultant (see Appendix A4.2)
The expert carried out the preliminary mission together with the aquaculture (hatchery) consultant (August 1988) and should, if possible, participate in the next (October-December 1988) to finalize design. The recommended timing is 3 weeks at own office and 5 weeks in Turkey, starting mid/late-October. (Total 2 man-months)
Lagoon Specialist (see Appendix A4.3)
A first mission to be carried out during detailed design mission (see above), for 3 weeks, starting mid-November 1988. The lagoon specialist should assess present ecological status of the lagoon (before project implementation) and monitor future status, after 1 and 2 years of farm activity (late 1989 and late 1990). The specialist should also advise on the lagoon management (Beymelek Fishermen's Cooperative) and provide seminars to trainees. (Total 2 man-months)
Fry Collection Specialist
Two missions are necessary for fry collection in spring 1989 and spring 1990 to organize, together with local staff, two collection campaigns, to advise and provide training on the specific activity. (Total 2 man-months)
Phyto-Zooplankton Culture Specialist
The consultant should assist the start-up of the plankton unit of the hatchery, and train local staff, at least during the first year of operation. The same mission may be required also for the second year, depending on the experience of the Turkish hatchery staff. (Total 3 man-months)
Shrimp Reproduction Specialist
The consultant should carry out a complete hatchery production crop of shrimp post-larvae (P. japonicus) and train local staff. As in the case of the plankton specialist (above), the mission may have to be repeated for the second year operation. (Total 2 man-months)
Fish/Shrimp Nutritionist
To support the development of locally-available feeds, based on local resources and by-products, a nutritionist would be needed. The nutritionist should carry out a first mission in spring 1989 to identify local resources and advise on local artificial feed production. A second mission should take place in late 1989 for further advice at a more advanced stage of the farm production and for provision of a seminar to trainees. (Total 1.5 man-months)
Fish/Shrimp Pathologist
A pathologist is required to establish a specific prophylaxis plan for the production (first mission in 1989) and to provide advice and a seminar for trainees. Check-up missions will be necessary at more advanced stages of production, to control the sanitary situation of the farm. (Total 1 man-month)
Senior Aquaculture Expert
This expert should work in close collaboration with the National Project Coordinator for the management of the Centre: hatchery and on-growing production, organization of training programmes, coordination of consultants' missions and of experts' work on the farm, reporting on activities to FAO/UNDP.
The senior aquaculturist should have a basic professional experience at a commercial level in marine aquaculture management, ideally with experience in marine hatchery and intensive/semi-intensive rearing of sea bass, sea bream and shrimp.
The senior expert should ideally start working on site around the time the construction begins (from April 1988) to supervise and advice/assistance.
If the planned 18 man-months are not sufficient to cover the whole project duration, up to the first production of market size fish (planned by the end of 1991) the inputs may need to be extended, depending on the progress. (? Total 18 man-months)
Hatchery Specialist
As the senior expert will be mainly involved in general management/ coordination/organization activities and with the operations of the farm as a whole, a specialist is required for the management of the hatchery, for carrying out the training programmes on fry production techniques and for training the hatchery personnel.
The expert should have similar experience to that of the senior expert in the specific field of marine hatcheries (preferably including experience in sea bream reproduction). (Total 18 man-months)
BAR CHART: CONSULTANCIES AND ASSIGNMENTS OF EXPERTS
(Numbers in brackets refer to the text, paragraph 4.3)
Hatchery Associate Professional Officer
The expert should assist the hatchery specialist in the fry production and pre-growing operations and in the training programmes. The assignment should start in June 1989. (Total 24 man-months)
Fry Collection/On-Growing Associate Professional Officer
The expert should assist in the fry collection operations. As the fry collection season is normally only 2–3 months, this expert should also assist in the on-growing operations and in the training programmes. (Total 24 man-months)
Economics/Marketing Associate Professional Officer
The expert should assist in the economic evaluation of the farm activity (production operations, different technologies, results, etc.), in the market analysis (local, national and international), and the evaluation of own product distribution. Ideally, the expert should be familiar with computer spreadsheet and data base operations. (Total 24 man-months)
Additional Consultancies
The following additional consultancies may also be required:
| - shellfish culture: | at a later stage of the project 2–3 man-months should be allocated for a shellfish specialist |
| - economics/marketing: | an expert may be required to advise and assist in the work programme of both the associate professional officer and the Turkish economist |
