The freshwater team is greatly indebted to the support given by U Khin Maung Soe (Deputy Director, Aquaculture Extension), who acted as technical expert, guide translator and companion for the duration of the mission. His tireless good humour never failed, even under the continuous and often repetitive questioning of the mission.
The freshwater mission would also like to thank the Department of Fisheries and Myanmar Fisheries Federation (Mandalay and Shan State) for their logistical support to the mission without which the mission would not have been able to visit the extensive number of state and private fishery operators and gain the insights into Myanmar fisheries that they did.
