| dc.description | ALCOM, in collaboration with the Government of Malawi has carried out studies in two small water bodies of Malawi; Mikolongwe and Mbvoniha. The objectives of the study were to develop empirical models which use easily measurable parameters like morphometrics and limnological characteristics of small water bodies to estimate fish yields or biomass. ALCOM is a regional aquaculture and fisheries programme of the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). Based in Harare, Zim babwe, it covers all the member-countries of SADC (Southern African Development Community) - Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The aim of ALCOM is to assist member-countries improve the living standards of rural populations through the practice of aquaculture. Toward this end, pilot activities are conducted in member-countries to demonstrate new techniques, technologies or methodologies. Successes achieved , ideas derived, lessons learnt, are applied on a wider scale by member-governments. ALCOM is funded by Sweden and Belgium. Its preparatory phase began in 1986, and its first implementation phase in 1990. | |
