fish breeding
fish disease
tilapia culture
8. Your general comments. We would greatly value your comments about the training course as a whole.
the level of some lecture was not satisfactory
there was too mich theoretical in the first part and not enough practicals in both parts.
if the morning lecture is theoretical would be better to have a full day theoretical than a practical in the afternoon.
9. Please suggest how this type of training course could be improved in the future (organizational and training aspects):
to make training course more specialized
major emphasis on some imprtant issues /breeding, etc./
