Acknowledgements

On behalf of MEDRAP, I should like to express my sincere thanks:

-   to all the people who participated at the Session,

-   to the lecturers and trainees for the collaboration,

-   to the I. N. I. P. for their excellent organisation and warm welcome,

-   to Mr.METAILLER and GABAUDAN, with whom I had the pleasure of working for the organisation of the Session.

GENERAL PRESENTATION

The 13th training session organised by MEDRAP (GCP/REM/049/ITA) in collaboration with I.N.I.P (Istituto Nacional des Investigacoa das Pescas) on the theme “Nutrition in Marine Aquaculture” took place in LISBOA, Portugal, from the 20 to 30 October 1986 (See Annex I).

This seminary took place at I.N.I.P, who furnished all the material (reunion, room, projector, etc…) along with all the help necessary for the success of the session.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE SESSION

a) The participants (See Annex II)

This session regrouped 17 participants from member countries of MEDRAP.

All the participants have worked in the aquaculture sector for many years, either at government level in private enterprises.

b) The lecturers(See Annex III)

Fourteen lecturers took part at the session and the following points were taken up:

-   Theoretical aspects of fish and shrimp feeding,

-   Nutritional requirement of fish and shrimp reared in the Mediterranean,

-   Feeding strategies,

-   Use of raw-materials and by-products in aquaculture,

-   Food manufacture,

-   Practical experiments in feeding,

c) Development of the lectures

Each lecturer had two hours at disposal (including translation) to present his subject and answer any immediate questions.

At the end of each afternoon, a round table regrouped both participants and lecturers, which allowed more than simple question-answers, but the confrontation of experiments in the different Mediterranean countries.
