Descripción
By Ordinance No XLV of 1984, entitled The Fisheries Research Institute Ordinance, 1984, the President of the People's Republic of Bangladesh created the Fisheries Research Institute on 11 July, 1984. Analysis of the present fisheries situation revealed that main emphasis should be given to research in riverine fisheries (to maintain present production levels), brackishwater aquaculture, and fisheries in ponds and other freshwater bodies (Chapter 2). Priority research projects have been iden tified and allocated to the research stations procedures for starting up research work have been developed. elated projects are combined to research programmes, of which a limited number are taken up in each station. This will strongly improve motivation of researchers, as well as efficiency of guidance. Sources of project funding have been identified, including the Contract Research scheme of the Agricultural Research II Project (Chapter 4.4). It is argumented that the original set-up of FR I (5 stations, HQ in Chandpur) hampers progress because of problems in management, research guidance, and in efficient use of available budgets. It is proposed to limit the number of stations to 3 (for freshwater, brackishwater and marine research) and to house the headquarters in one of them, preferably in Mymensingh (freshwater) (Chapter 4.1). Organogrammes and staffing lists are presented; concentration of facilities makes the organization smaller and better, and FRI can function with less personnel than originally foreseen (Chapter 4.2/3). Technical Assistance to FRI is available from different sources; for the various specialists responsabilities and their place in the organization have been specified (Chapter 4.5). Proposals for regular monitoring of research projects have been worked out in detail (Chapter 5.2/3).
