Abstract

The Training course on Sites surveys on Mediterranean Artemia was organised from 25 to 30 May in Tunisia and Libya.

The objective was to update participants with biology, ecology and production of artemia.

Better exchange between participants of Mediterranean coutries was facilitated, this should be continued and cooperation reinforced. The production of artemia could contribute to food security in the region in the long term, a complete inventory of the possibilities and a development of technical capabilities is required.

Acknowledgements

Note from the reviser

The revision and publication of this document could only be done a long time after the closure of the project. This has led to some difficulties in finalising the documents and implementing corrections, because authors and contributors as well as some of the original material or files were no longer available.

Therefore contributions from participants and session papers annexed to most of the documents were left in their original form. No language corrections were introduced, the content was not modified and left under their respective authors' responsibility.

Considering the above, we hope that the reader will understand that a standard of publication could not e maintained on a level as high as we would have liked it to be.
