ABSTRACT |
| Twenty-one participants, representing ten countries of the Indo-Pacific region, attended a seminar on induced breeding of cultivated fishes held in India. It was organized by FAO in collaboration with the Government of India under the United Nations Development Programme/Technical Assistance Sector. It was divided into three different sessions: in Barrackpore, West Bengal; in Bhubaneswar/Cuttack, and in Bombay. |
| Twenty-six lectures on subjects concerned with induced breeding, including growth, maturity, fecundity, sexing, segregation, and holding of spawners; rearing of hatchlings and fry, and problems for further research were presented by specialists. These were followed by discussions. Thirteen participants from Indonesia, India, Korea, Malaysia, Nepal, the Philippines, Pakistan, Thailand, United Kingdom (Hong Kong) and Vietnam, described the fish breeding operations in their countries. |
| Successful demonstrations were made of induced breeding of catla (Catla catla), grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), common carp (Cyprinus carpio), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), and rohu (Labeo rohita). |
