| dc.description | a) The fish nutrition consultant was charged with developing the capabilities of the Fisheries Research Institute for research in fish nutrition and feed technology. After consultation with Government officials and scientific experts involved in fish or animal husbandry in Dhaka, the consultant went to Mymensingh: to develop plans for research project germaine to the mission of the Freshwater Aquaculture Research Station; to advise on developing appropriate laboratory facilities there; t o train the nutrition staff in principles of fish nutrition and how to develop concrete nutrition research proposals together with appropriate budgets; to design an effective experimental feed mill with the capability to manufacture 8 different types of feeds for various feeding strategies; to develop a co-operative scientific programme between FRI, FARS, and the Bangladesh Agriculture University in performing a national survey of fish feedstuffs which could be used in formulating effectiv e low cost diets for fish production. (b) Daily training sessions with the nutrition staff resulted in acceptable research proposals for estimating the gross protein requirement of catfish, and digestibility of these same diet formulae by mrigal. A ten year general plan for fish nutrition and feed technology was developed. (c) The laboratory facilities were cleaned, equipment available at FARS and at Chandpur inventoried, and those items useful for nutrition work tested and installed. A sup plementary equipment list of items needed to initiate nutrition research experiments was catalogued. | |
