This is the Indonesian translation of a manual that provides practical guidelines for those engaged in the nursery culture of groupers in Indonesia as well as elsewhere in the tropics. The nursery phase is an intermediate step between hatchery production of seed (ACIAR Monographs No. 149 and 149a) and stocking of grow-out farms. It involves growing delicate juvenile fish of 2–3 cm long through to physically robust animals of 5–10 cm long.

This manual provides practical guidelines for those engaged in the nursery culture of groupers in Indonesia as well as elsewhere in the tropics. The nursery phase is an intermediate step between hatchery production of seed (ACIAR Monograph No. 149) and stocking of grow-out farms. It involves growing delicate juvenile fish of 2–3 cm long through to physically robust animals of 5–10 cm long. The manual provides information on husbandry of groupers in the nursery phase, to reduce losses due to disease and cannibalism, and thus to increase the profitability of grouper nursing.

Project summary for project FIS/2002/074: Capacity development to monitor, analyse and report on Indonesian tuna fisheries

Summary for ACIAR Project FIS/2002/077: Improved hatchery and grow-out technology for marine finfish aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific region.

An assessment of the impact of an ACIAR–World Vision extension project training farmers in northern Thailand on fish farming with low-cost feed. The impact was assessed on the basis of the economic returns that accrue to farmers adopting the extension advice.

The tuna fisheries in the western and central Pacific Ocean comprises a variety of fishing activities, the most important of which are the industrial-scale purse seine, longline and pole-and-line fisheries. The analysis reported in this publication focuses on characterising the target and non-target catch of the purse seine fishery in the PNG exclusive economic zone.

This study provided a review of all ACIAR-funded fisheries research in Indonesia and selected two different programs of research for detailed studies – tuna capture fisheries and shrimp aquaculture. The returns attributed to the ACIAR supported component of tuna capture fisheries was assessed to be $168 million, indicating a return on ACIAR and partner-invested funds of a benefit to cost ratio of 179:1. For shrimp aquaculture the net present value of the welfare gains from the impact was found to be $547 million with a benefit to cost ratio of 52:1.

This manual describes a new method for Pacific islanders to catch valuable fish and crustaceans for the aquarium trade. It explains the stages involved in setting up a 'capture and grow-out' operation and will help readers decide if this business is right for them and their community.

This publication provides the reader with a comprehensive account of the history of aquaculture and fish stock enhancement programs in PNG.

Culture based fisheries are an effective way of increasing supplies of fish in rural areas.

ACIAR funded this survey in 1993 and 1994 to gather as much information as possible about the subsistence fishery in Fiji

Aquaculture of freshwater species in the Mekong regions of Cambodia, Vietnam, Lao PDR and Thailand is an important source of protein and income for small-scale land owners

Aquaculture is an important industry in Vietnam but one of the main constraints on increasing production is the lack of cost-effective feeds and feeding strategies

These proceedings examine the issues behind Indonesia's dried fish industry and prospects for improving the quality of dried fish
