Abstract
Many years of research and experimentation have proven that conventional intensive pond-culture is not yet an economically viable way of increasing fish production in Côte d'Ivoire. In searching for an alternative, it has been found that an obvious solution exists in the 1,000 small dams and reservoirs, which are so far used mainly for livestock watering and irrigation. These could produce, with appropriately selected methods, a valuable crop of table fish. This project will prepare an inventory of small and medium sized water resources in the country; formulate proposals for the proper exploitation of these resources; create a documentation centre on dam reservoirs to be located at the Institut des savanes (IDESSA); and strengthen the efficacy of IDESSA by helping it train required technical and professional personnel.
