The International Development Research Centre is a public corporation created by the
Parliament of Canada in 1970 to suppon research designed to adapt science and
technology to the needs of developing countries. The Centre's activity is concentrated in
fo·e sectors: agriculture, food and nutrition sciences; health sciences, information
sciences; social sciences; and communications. IDRC is financed solely by the Parliament
of Canada; its policies, however, are set by an international Board of Governors. The
Centre's headquaners are in Ottawa, Canada. Regional offices are located in Africa,
Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.

Editor's Preface
In view of the increasing emphasis and intensification of the
age-old, traditional aquacultural practices in most of Asia there
is a growing need for research into aspects of finfish nutrition. A
primary concern in this respect is the need to develop low-cost
feeds using locally and readily available ingredients within the
reach of the rural, small-scale fish farmers. The IDRC has been
directly involved in supporting a number of research projects on
finfish nutrition with this objective.
The First Nutrition Workshop, hosted by the IDRC was held
in September 1983 and basically dealt with some of the
methodological approaches to finfish nutrition and manage
ment. This volume encompasses the proceedings of the Second
Finfish Nutrition Workshop held in June 1986. The workshop
was held in conjunction with the First Asian Fisheries Forum
which brought together nearly 400 fisheries scientists from the
region. It was organized to gather those scientists whose
research interests were on finfish nutrition and to work towards
a consensus on the present status of the art and future strategies
of finfish nutrition for the region.
This set of proceedings, however, does not attempt to deal
with all aspects of on-going finfish nutrition in the region nor a
complete strategy for the region. It will be followed by the
proceedings of the third workshop scheduled for May 1988
which is expected to deal specifically with methodological
strategies relevant to the region. We hope this series of
proceedings would serve as a useful reference of direct
relevance to those engaged in finfish nutrition research in the
region.

Foreword
The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) of
Canada ,has been supporting fisheries research in developing
countries since 1973. A major portion of'this support has been
for aquaculture research. Increasingly, IDRC's funding has
been focused on a series of disciplinary regional networks in
Asia such as disease, breeding, genetics and nutrition. As a part
of their activities, these research networks have organised
regular meetings of the researchers who are encouraged to
exchange information and plan future programmes in a
complementary fashion. This publication is a record of the
second meeting of Asian fish nutritionists which was held
concurrently with the Asian Fisheries Society "Fish Asian
Fisheries Forum" in Manila, May 26-31, 1986. The proceedings
of the first meeting was published in Cho, C.Y., Cowey, C.B.
and Watanabe T., 1985, Finfish Nutrition in Asia: Methodologfral
Approaches to Research and Management, International Develop
ment .Research Centre, 1985.
IDRC is very happy to have collaborated with the nutrition
researchers in this workshop and we would like to extend our
sincere thanks to Dr S. S. De Silva for his work in editing this
· publication.
