Provided fisheries services to CIDA’s
Bangladesh program as member of 4-
person project monitoring mission which
reviewed the progress of the second
phase of the Northeast Development
Project (NERP), an integrated water
management project.
Evaluated the feasibility, operation and
potential of the Kashimpur vertical-slot
type fispass and emphasized the
importance of a coordinated monitoring
program with women involvement and
how to improve the sampling facilities.
Also, highlighted the adverse effects of
dredging on the aquatic environment,
stressed the need for proper water
sampling that should include biological,
physiochemical parameters, data
collection on fishing efforts and fish
catch and stressed the importance of
exploring the possibility of practicing fish
culture as an integrated activity by
involving women and the youth. Had
been very instrumental in solving
management problems.

Headed a 4-men Evaluation Mission
Team for the UNDP/FAO/Belgium Survival
Fund: Rural Fish Farming Project ($ 2
million) with women-in-development in
Western Kenya on Lake Victoria at
Kissumu.
Undertaken intensive field visits and
appraisal of technical and administrative
reports. Technically and economically
evaluated integrated fish farming with
enhancement of women. Examined in
details the management and operation
systems, training of extension services
personnel and fish farmers, construction
and rehabilitation of fingerling production
centers, efficiency of pond construction
and hatchery systems, production costs,
and credit scheme and imp rest
account. As the project suffered delays
in key personnel, the Implementing
Agency could not operate without
further donor’s assistance and the
integrated fish farming component in
Kakamega proved successful in
improving the living conditions of rural
farmers, the team recommended the
extension of the project for a third phase.

with respect to its commercial
implementation in Saudi Arabia,
Mannheim, Germany, and
recommended its adoption provided
the details of the production plan was
provided by the expert of Metz
Company.

Evaluated a large-scale, commercial
(400 t/y) mariculture project of seabass,
D. Labrax, in Jorf, Sidi Maklouf
Commission, Southern Tunisia.
Reviewed the project documents and
examined the technical and
administrative activities of the project.
The project indicated successful
development of broodstocks, sound
techniques for induced breeding and
thorough manipulation of photoperiod
and temperature, hatching and rearing
techniques, 1st fattening stage in
concrete tanks and 2nd fattening stage
in floating cages, and proper harvesting
and chilling procedures of seabass
before export to European markets in 10
kg containers. Based on these findings,
advised the Arab Fisheries Company
(AFC), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to invest in
this successful mariculture commercial
project.
