Descripción

This paper is based on consultancy tours made in the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia in Southeast Asia. These extended in intermittent periods from June 1976 to November 1978. Four visits were made to the Philippines where work was mainly done with the Aquaculture Department of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) and in Thailand and Indonesia with ongoing FAO/UNDP projects. The work in these countries varied from assistance on the effective use of acquired Artemia sali na in fish hatcheries to raising it in pilot-scale raceways and also initiation of trial cultures in natural saline earth ponds for the production of cysts.
