Recordings/report of the Workshop on Scaling up National Shrimp BMP Programmes

Better management practices have proved to be a highly effective tool for the Indian shrimp farming industry. Work to extend adoption of the practices is ongoing and in this view a national workshop was held at the Central Institute of Brackishwater Aquaculture, 16-18 May, Chennai, India.

The workshop discussed scaling up strategies to extend the concept to new areas and to involve more farmers and identify lessons learned that can be applied elsewhere.

Audio recordings of the technical presentations made at the workshop are available for download/streaming, along with the workshop report.
