Abstract

The Seminar on Training Sub-Network, held in Tirana on December 7–8, 1992, constituted the second opportunity to further identify the needs and capabilities for the establishment of a sub-network on the subject.

According to the recommendations formulated at the first meeting on Training held in Montpellier, the status of training needs and capabilities in the member countries was reviewed and discussed. It was noted the shortage of specialised institutions in aquaculture training. Regional training priorities of technicians and scientists in the areas of research, production and management were identified.

Three constraints were mentioned as areas of weakness which can obstruct the development of the training network in aquaculture:

-   There was a need to conceive separate courses for countries speaking different languages.

-   The lack of homogeneity due to the difference in levels of aquaculture development should be taken into consideration.

-   As bilateral cooperation is non existent, the establishment of a network would be the best way to enhance the exchange the exchange of information.

The seminar considered the proposals on the futures structure of MEDRAP II activities.

Thus and as training is considered as a vital component of each activity, and no separate training and/or research networks are necessary, it was recommended to implement two networks on Technology of Aquaculture and on Socio-Economic and legal Aspects of Aquaculture.

Acknowledgements

The Editor would like to thank the organisms of the meeting, namely the National coordinator, Mr. Aleksander Flloko for his effort and collaboration in organising the meeting.

Thanks are also due to the participants and the individual experts from international Organisms such as CIHEAM, SZARVAS, GHENT University and STIRLING University, for their valuable contribution and assistance in making this workshop fruitful.

The Editor would like also to thank the Representatives of FAO of their continuous support to the Project.

Note from the reviser

The revision and publication of this document could only be done a long time after the closure of the project. This has led to some difficulties in finalising the documents and implementing corrections, because authors and contributors as well as some of the original material or files were no longer available.

Therefore contributions from participants and session papers annexed to most of the document were left in their original form. no language corrections were introduced, the content was not modified and left under their respective authors' responsibility.

Considering the above, we hope that the reader will understand that a standard of publication could not be maintained on a level as high as we would have liked it to be.
