REPORTS ON FISHERIES
This document is Report No. TA 2575 in the series of FAO reports produced under the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Since 1 January 1966, reports produced under the former Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance (EPTA) have appeared in the UNDP(TA) series. The numbering of reports in the UNDP(TA) series is unbroken and follows consecutively the numbering of the former EPTA series.
Since 1 January 1962, those reports which concern FAO technical assistance in fisheries have been numbered consecutively in a subseries within the general series.
The present report is the one-hundred-and-fifty-sixth report in the fishery subseries: FAO Fish.UNDP(TA)Rep., FRi/UNDP(TA) 156.

2. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
ABSTRACTThis report summarizes the technical assistance on fish culture by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) for 1967, which was a continuation of similar assistance by the Organization started in 1959. The main objective of the project was to advise and assist the Government of Uganda in increasing and improving the production of cultivable food fish. To accomplish this, experiments on feeding, fish-pond fertilization and fish hybridization were conducted. Biological studies of economic species and economic appraisal of fish-pond operations were also carried out. Recommendations are made on the type of supplementary feed to use and on the programme of future fish culture in the country. |
