RESULTS OF MAIN RESEARCH PROGRAMMES - SOUTHERN AFRICA (ZAM and ZIM)

COUNTRYSEQ. NO.RESULTS OBTAINEDINDUCED RESULTSSUSTAINABILITY CONTINUITY OF EFFECTSLIMITING FACTORSCAUSES FOR EVENTUAL FAILURES
ZAM13 production systems for 8. andersonii; fertilization, feeding, ducks/pigs, with proven on-station resultsAdoption by commercial and emerging farmersGood prospects for commercial and emerging farmersLivestock feeds expensive, not always available not relevant to rural farmers since their resources and needs not considered- Non-economic due to high costs of animal feed
2Increased survival rates C. carpio fryMore fingerlings available, carp culture spreadingOK as long as fry can be produced; no other production centre likelyTrained staff, imported equipment to run hatchery 
3Pond management practices adapted to local physical, farming socio-economic conditionsIncreased number of practising fish farmers and improved pond productionHigh since locally adaptedSpread of techniques depends on extension service 
4Fishery assessment method which covers all species presentUnderexploited species now exploitedGood for dams surveyedNeed trained staff and materials for sampling more damsCommunity management methods not implemented due to institutional dispute on control of dams
ZIM1Unknown    
2Improved breeds, feeds and disease control in rainbow troutOther trout producers/feed industry have used some resultsGood since economicSome research results considered proprietary 
3Workable system and demonstration unitPublicity for NGO but no duplication by othersLimitedSpecial situation at NGO 
4Baseline socio-economic informationUsed by Agritex in extension programmePositive impact on extensionCovered limited area 
5Demonstrated spawning but failed to rear post larval stage   Hatchery infrastructure inadequate
66 crosses tried among O. placidus, O. mossambicus, O. macrochirNoneLimited  
7Unknown    
8Spawning and stocking successful, populations established in damsWidespread stocking in private dams for anglingGood in private angling sector on commercial farmsNarrow focus of target group
