PREPARATION OF THIS VOLUME

This edition (Volume III) consists of the remainder of the corrected experience papers contributed to the World Scientific Conference on the Biology and Culture of Shrimps and Prawns, held in Mexico City, Mexico, from 12 to 21 June, 1967. The papers were distributed at that time to the participants and authors.

The first volume contained the Report of the Conference, and the review, regional summary and some experience papers were included in the second volume. The subsequent and ultimate issue (Volume IV) will contain the species synopses papers.

The views expressed in the contributions are those of the authors and not necessarily of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

Dr. D.I. Williamson and Mr. R. F. Temple assisted in the editing of some of the contributions and Dr. L.B. Holthuis assisted in the nomenclature.
