PREPARATION OF THIS VOLUME

This is the second volume of the Proceedings of the FAO World Symposium on Warm-water Pond Fish Culture and contains the regional and country reports contributed. Those experience papers which are essentially country reports are also included in this volume.

The first volume (see inside back cover) contained the report of the Symposium and the subsequent volumes will contain the review, experience and working papers.

The views expressed in the contributions are those of the authors and not necessarily of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

Dr. (Mrs.) Rosemary McConnell and Dr. Homer Swingle assisted in the editing of some of the contributions.

PREPARATION DE CE VOLUME

Ce volume est le second des compte-rendus du Symposium mondial de la FAO sur la pisciculture en étang à température élevée. Il contient les rapports régionaux et nationaux qui ont été présentés. Les compte-rendus d'expérience qui sont principalement des rapports nationaux sont également inclus dans ce volume.

Le premier volume (voir l'intérieur de la couverture) contenait le rapport du Symposium et les autres volumes renfermeront les revues, les documents sur l'expérience acquise et les documents de travail.

Les opinions exprimées dans les documents sont celles des auteurs et pas nécessairement celles de l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'Alimentation et l'Agriculture.

Madame Rosemary McConnell (Dr.) et Dr. Homer Swingle ont aidé à préparer plusieurs documents pour la publication.
