Descripción
The priorities of the mission were to provide the outline design of the Beymelek Lagoon Aquaculture Centre, to estimate provisional costs for the establishment and the operation of the Centre and to prepare the work plan for the implementation of the project. The main objectives of the project are the transfer of established technologies for the production of fry and the rearing of marine fish species (sea bass and sea bream) and shrimp, and the development of training programmes at a national level. Furthermore, improvement of the lagoon management by local fishermen's cooperatives is necessary. The farm is designed for a yearly production of 100 t of sea bass, 50 t of sea bream and 10 t of shrimp using both intensive and semi-intensive rearing technologies. The marine hatchery has a yearly production capacity of 400 000 sea bass and 200 000 sea bream fry in addition to the production of shrimp post-larvae. Maximum flexibility is given to the project in order to adapt production s trategies to changing market requirements. The collection of wild fry will be carried out to support the semi-intensive and extensive culture of sea bream and mullets in earth ponds and lagoon. A new and up-to-date fish barrier will allow control of fish migrations and production in the lagoon, which will also benefit from the establishment of a permanent communication channel to the sea. The Turkish Government will contribute to the project mainly through the financing of all capital costs (building and equipment) and operating costs. It will also be responsible for the full organization of the construction, and together with the specialist project staff, the operation of the farm and the training programmes of the Centre.
