Extract

The production of food through fish-farming or aquaculture has become an area of increasing interest in the developing world, as the potential of unused water resources is realised and the spread of appropriate techniques for suitable fish species is encouraged. From a production through aquaculture of 6 million tonnes or approximately 10% of current captive fisheries in 1976 (Pillay 1976), estimates of as high as 4O% by the year 2000 have been given (Bardach, Rhyther and McLarney, 1972), a great part of which will be from developing countries. Where resources are limited, techniques Of aquaculture which are integrated with conventional agricultural or industrial activities by using their wastes, or which provide useful by-products, are especially to be encouraged.
