R E P O R T to the GOVERNMENT OF THAILAND on the DEVELOPMENT OF PROGRAMS OF INLAND FISHERY INVESTIGATION, MANAGEMENT AND TRAINING. Rep. FAO/UNDP(TA), (TA2199).

Overview of inland fisheries

This is an account of the second phase (1964–1965) of a project -which originally started in 1963 - concerned with inland fishery investigations, management and training in Thailand, carried on under the Expanded Program of Technical Assistance (EPTA) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). 

The objectives of the technical assistance program were to assist the Division of Inland Fisheries to develop:

  1. field and laboratory investigations,
  2. fishery management policies and practices, and
  3. training programs for technical personnel.

After assessment of the present policies, management practices, and research activities, the major problems of Thailand's inland fisheries were to be listed and plans drawn up for their solution. Plans were to be developed for:

  1. stream, lake, and swamp surveys,
  2. biological investigations such as life history studies,
  3. fish cultural experiments, and
  4. other types of investigations required to provide an adequate basis for management and development of the inland fisheries.

The FAO expert was to serve in an advisory capacity, and make every effort to see that the work he initiated would be continued after the term of assistance.
