It can also be read as a text in its own right by government administrators and planners, particularly in developing countries, and by commercial investors in aquaculture. The first part of the document contains a broad introduction to project formulation, describing the integration of aquaculture projects within development plans, the organization and management of project formulation projects, and the stages of the project cycle. It is not only important for projects to be satisfactorily integrated into the economy of the sub-sector, but also that those responsible for project formulation should be aware of the practical problems which may arise in project implementation. Preject formulation and implementation, therefore, are described briefly here as a single entity, consisting of twelve phases, and the more frequently occurring problems encountered in project implementation are described. Illustrations of three actua aquaculture projects are given to show the diversity which may be encountered by planners. The second part of the document is concerned only with the six phases of project formulation, encompassing project identification, preparation, and appraisal. The sequence of activities carried out within each phase are described within 17 steps, each including further activities or tasks. Drawing on the characteristics of these illustrative models particular attention is given to differences of approach between the public and private sectors.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Aquaculture and the Environment Second Edition T. V. R. Pillay The continuing rapid increases in aquaculture production world-wide raise fears of further environmental degradation of the aquatic environment. The second edition of this well-received book brings together and discusses the available information on all major environmental aspects of various aquaculture systems, providing a valuable aid to the preparation of environmental impact assessments of aquaculture projects and showing how potential environmental problems can be reduced or mitigated by sound management. Much new information is presented in this new edition, including details of the impact of genetically modified food products and a new chapter on the sustainability of aquaculture, which covers the definitions of sustainability and responsible aquaculture, environmental, economic, social and ethical aspects of sustainability and the concept of ecotechnology in fish farming. Aquaculture and the Environment, Second Edition is essential reading for all personnel working on fish farms and for those moving into the aquatic farm business. Environmental scientists, ecologists, conservationists, fish and shellfish biologist and all those involved in the preservation of aquatic environments will find much of great use and interest within the covers of this book. Libraries in all universities and research establishments where these subjects are studied and taught should have copies of this excellent and useful book on their shelves. Dr T. V. R. Pillay was formerly Programme Director, Aquaculture Development and Coordination Programme, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
