Descripción
The consultant left the United States on September 2, and arrived in Bangkok on September 3. As this was a new consultancy on an unfamiliar project, discussions about the scope of the project and duties within the terms of reference (TOR) were held, first with the Imre Csavas, the Regional Aquaculture Officer in the FAO Regional Office, and then with Mr. Prasert Sitasit, the Government Project Manager in the Thailand Department of Fisheries. Mr. Presert said that most of the work to be performed within the terms of the consultancy would be done in association with Wimol Jantrarotai, PhD., of the research staff, and therefore the consultant's TOR should be discussed with him, to obtain the specific needs of the program. The consultant and Dr. Wimol were aware that information relating to item 2 had been addressed most comprehensively by the book Feed and Feeding of Fish and Shrimp, by Dr. Michael New (UNDP/FAO publication ADCP/REP/87/26). This publication is a complete presentation of information needed by fish nutritionists and feed manufacturers and covers economic and engineering aspects of small-scale feed mill construction. It was decided that there was no need to cover this same material. Discussion within this topic would then revolve around issues related to the fulfillment of item 1 of the TOR. Dr. Wimol also said that one of the previous feeds technology consultants, Dr. Nagai, had instructed them well on micro-ingredient distribution and mixing theory, assigned as item 3 of the present TOR. As there was no need to discuss the same material again, fulfilling the TOR of this item would best be served by passing on any practical information concerning mixing when, during the period of the consultancy, it became apparent that such information would help the staff to produce better feeds.
