This document brings together the 28 papers presented at the Expert Consultation on Inlnad Fishery Enhancements, held in Dhaka, Bangladesh from 7 to 11 April 1997. The Expert Consultation was jointly organized by FAO and the Department for Intenational Development of teh United Kingdom and was hosted by the government of Bangladesh. The major objective of the Expert Consultation was to promote better understanding of how various factors fit together for successful implementation of inland fisher ies enhancement programmes. Accordingly, the papers span a broad range of topics - technical, socio-economic, cultural and administrative. Techniques, geographic constraints, problems of information gathering and monitoring, and genetics are addressed. Because of its relative importance as a an enhancement technique, stocking received much attention; areas discussed include strategies, modelling and prediction of results, health management and fitness of stocked fish as well as stocking experien ces by type ot water body. Cage culture - its importnace, promotion through extension and limitations - is also considered. Other papers cover social and economic benefits and their distribution, institutions and self-and participatory management. Country reviews dealing very broadly with enhancement are also included. This FAO Fisheries Technical Paper is a companion to teh Report of the Expert Consultation on Inland Fishery Enhancements, FAO Fisheries Report No. 559, which deals with the admin istratve aspects of the meeting and sets out its conclusions and recommendations.
