The Handbook on small-scale freshwater fish farming provides a wealth of simply presented and illustrated information on freshwater fish farming in ponds, pens and cages, compiled form five booklets published on the subject in FAO’s Better Farming Series between 1979 and 1990. Here is an improved format, particulars of pond, pen and cage location, construction and management are covered in outlines that can be modified to suit local conditions. The handbook is primarily intended to help workers, technicians and teachers present their knowledge of freshwater fish farming to small-scale farmers.
