South China Sea fisheries development and coordinating programme. Report of assistance on selection of site, design, construction and management of the Ban Merbok, Kedah, Malaysia brackishwater aquaculture demonstration project, Malaysia
A consultancy was implemented to initiate the brackishwater aquaculture demonstration pilot project at Ban Merbok, Kedah state in Malaysia. The work consisted in selecting site, preparing the design and construction procedure, and setting guidelines for the future operation of the project. There was a question whether to establish the pilot family size small-holder pond demonstration inside or outside a man-made bund in the area. The technical and socio-economic considerations were appraised i n each case and it was determined by the Government Task Force that demonstration outside the bund was more advantageous. The Task Force functioned with the technical advice of this consultancy. To ensure the continuing supply of stocking material for penaeid shrimp and finfish, complementary project consisting of the establishment of a hatchery was also looked into. Prospective sites were surveyed and preliminary selection of the most suitable area was determined. Preliminary guidelines for t he construction and operation of the hatchery were also laid down.
