A Symposium on Post-Harvest Fish Technology was held on 21 and 22 October 1990 in Cairo, Egypt, in conjunction with the Eighth Session of the Committee for Inland Fisheries of Africa (CIFA). The Symposium reviewed the present state of post-harvest fish technology with special reference to inland fisheries in Africa which are generally traditional, small-scale fisheries. It also reviewed the possibilities and constraints with regard to improving the role of the inland fisheries post-harvest secto r in generating income and in providing food. Review papers are included on the kinds and levels of post-harvest losses, on traditional and modern post-harvest technologies, on the present and potential role of inland fish in income generation and in food consumption. Papers also include country overviews and specific topics such as utilization of certain species, packaging, marketing and credit.
