PREPARATION OF THIS VOLUME

This edition (Volume IV) contains the corrected synopses contributed to the World Scientific Conference on the Biology and Culture of Shrimps and Prawns, held in Mexico City, Mexico, from 12 to 21 June, 1967. The synopses Nos. 1 to 11 were distributed at that time to the participants and authors, while Nos. 12 to 17, although submitted prior to the Conference, were prepared at a later stage.

The first volume contained the Report of the Conference, the second volume the review, regional summary and some experience papers, while the remaining experience papers were included in the third volume.

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. D.I. Williamson and Mr. R.F. Temple assisted in the editing of some of the contributions and Dr. L.B. Holthuis assisted in the nomenolature.

PREPARATION DU PRESENT VOLUME

La présente édition (Volume IV) contient les synopsis corrigées présentées à la Conférence scientifique mondiale sur la biologie et l'élevage des crevettes tenue à Mexico (Mexique) du 12 au 21 juin 1967. Les synopsis numéros l à 11 ont été distribuées à cette époque aux participants et aux auteurs, tandis que les numéros 12 à 17, bien qu'ayant été soumis avant la Conférence, ont été préparés à une date ultérieure.

Le premier volume contient le rapport de la Conférence et le deuxième volume les exposés généraux, le résumé régional et quelques comptes rendus d'expériences; le reste des comptes rendus d'expériences ont été inclus dans le troisième volume.

Les opinions exprimées dans les communications sont celles des auteurs et ne représentent pas nécessairement celles de l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture.

M. D.I. Williamson et M. R.F. Temple ont collaboré à la mise au point rédactionnelle de certaines des communications et M. L.B. Holthuis a prêté son concours pour la nomenclature.

PREPARACION DE ESTE VOLUMEN

Esta edición (Volumen IV) contiene las sinopsis corregidas que se sometieron a la Conferencia Científica Mundial sobre Biología y Cultivo de Camarones y Gambas, celebrada en Ciudad de México, México, del 12 al 21 de junio de 1967. Las sinopsis Núms. 1 a 11 fueron distribuidas en la fecha mencionada entre los participantes y autores, en tanto que las Núms. 12 a 17, aunque presentadas antes de la Conferencia, se preparaban con posterioridad a ésta.

El primer volumen contiene el Informe de la Conferencia, el segundo volumen, los documentos de reseña, resúmenes regionales y documentos de investigación y en el tercer volumen se han incluido los restantes documentos de investigación.

Las opiniones expresadas en los documentos son las de los autores y no reflejan necesariamente las de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación.

El Dr. D.I. Williamson y el Sr. R.F. Temple prestaron su colaboración para la redacción de algunos de los documentos y el Dr. L.B. Holthuis colaboró en la nomenclatura.
