integrated carp farming in Asian country
389
At
the
global
level,
the
Aquaculture Development and Coordination Pro—
gramme
(ADCP)
of
the
FAO
has
set
up
the
Network
of
Aquaculture Centres in
Africa,
Latin
America
and
Asia.
The
Network
of
Aquaculture Centres in Asia
(NACA)
in
particular has been designated to operate within the framework of
Technical
Cooperation
among
developing countries and is intended to serve
the
Asia—Pacific
region.
The
immediate
objectives are to establish four re—
gional lead centres, which form the initial nucleus of the Asian Aquaculture
Network
for
:
—
conducting interdisciplinary research on selected aquafarming systems for
adaptation
or
improvement of existing technologies and for the develop—
ment of new
technologies ;
—
training of core personnel needed for aquaculture development ;
—
establishing and maintaininga regional information system for the provi—
sion
of
appropriate
data
and
information
for
development planning, re—
search and training.
Research
activities
are
to
be
shared by the four regional lead centres
in
China
(RLCC),
India
(RLCI),
the
Philippines
(RLCP)
and
Thailand
(RLCT),
and
are
to
be
focused
on
filling knowledge gaps of farming systems and on
intensifying or improving the efficiency of the technologies involved. The
Centre
in
the
Philippines
is,
in
addition
to
its
research
and
information
function,
the
headquarters
for
a
one—year
senior
level
multidisciplinary
training
course
hi
aquaculture,
while
the
Centre
in
China
is
to
provide
training at sa senior technicien level in integrated fish farming. This is
the
most
welcome
step of FAR, through which it is expected a rapid transfer
of
technology
of
different
fish
farming systems
including the
integrated
farming in this region.
However,
scientific
research
is
required to know the species of fish
suitable for integrated farming ; species and strain of pigs, ducks, chicken,
cattle
and
their
production/integration efficiencies. Similarly, selection
of crop
for
integration need investigation. Designing of farm for integrated
farming along with utilization of animal and plant wastes, their decomposi—
tion,
pathogenic
organisms
bi
wastes
and
their
transmission
to
fish
and
through fish to human ; plant as well as animal waste treatment, release of
nutrients,
common
diseases and method of treatments all need extensive
and
intensive
research
investigations
to
evolve
suitable
models
for
eff1c1ent
inte8rated farming systems relevant to the region,
