Resumen
Descripción
At an Expert Consultation on Planning for Aquaculture Development, held in Policoro, Italy in 1988 (see ADCP/REP/89/33), the participants identified an integrated set of opportunities for technical assistance to developing countries. The opportunities were predominantly a group of needs or ideas to assist in guiding investment decisions, primarily at the national level in both the public and private sectors. One of the needs identified for regional management was to provide educational and tr aining institutions with minimum bibliographic bases for aquaculture. The approach suggested was to "prepare a list of the basic reference works for institutional libraries involved in education and research in aquaculture. In addition to details of supplier and price, the works should be annotated to simplify selection". Its purpose would be to assist the introduction of aquaculture into the existing university/college structure of developing countries. Furthermore, it would allow them to make the best use of their limited resources for educational and technical materials, particularly as the titles of books are often misleading as to their contents.
