The gaps in understanding of, and the constraints limiting, large-scale aquaculture are listed. Future action is recommended with respect to: types and diversity of species to be cultivated, marketing, biotechnology (seed supply, disease control, water quality and concerted effort), siting, feed, manpower, legal and institutional aids (granting of water rights, grants, tax breaks, duty-free imports, etc.), and adequate financing. The last of hard data based on experience suggests that large-scale vertically-integrated aquaculture is a high risk enterprise, and with the high capital investment required, banks and funding institutions are wary of supporting it. Investment in pilot projects is suggested to demonstrate that large-scale aquaculture can be a fully functional and successful business. Construction and operation of such pilot farms is judged to be in the interests of both the public and private sector.","Groton Bioindustries Development Company,Groton, MA","","","","FAO","1976-01-01","","English","Conference","Book","","","Conference: FAO technical conference on aquaculture, Kyoto, Japan, 26 May 1976","","Medium: X; Size: Pages: 17","","CONF-7605192-1","","","https://doi.org/","","2008-02-06","5221142",""
