FOREWORD

The report on the latest meeting of the World Aquaculture Society held in Honolulu, Hawaii in January 1988 was rendered by Dr. Herminio R. Rabanal. Although the report is a very brief summary of the results of that meeting, the attached Appendices A, B and C can serve as very useful recent information in aquaculture. In particular, Appendix C which records the abstracts of contributed papers and posters that are relevant to the Asian region gives valuable information for aquaculture operators and aquaculturists in the region.

We have requested Dr. Rabanal to contribute this as a technical paper to this Project and we are grateful that he has consented to this proposal.
