Announcement of UNU/ZERI Electronic SeminarTitle: Integrated freshwater Aquaculture Systems Date: 1-17th September 1995 By: Prof. George Chan (Mauritius) Cyberspace: mailto:UNU.CONF-ROOM.JIZO@CAREN.NET Organized by: Mr. Eng-Leong Foo, The United Nations University, Tokyo =================================================================
ABSTRACT
Rapid economic development and urbanization have led to many pollution problems, this is particularly important and of great concern in developing countries. Disposal of organic wastes and inorganic nutrients is particularly problematic when they are discharged into rivers, lakes and coastal waters. Integrated systems has been used traditionally in many countries and especially in China where these systems combine livestock, aquaculture, agriculture and agro-industry to use wastes as resources in a complex food- chains for the production of new products. The discussion will include the implementation of integrated biosystems in other countries.
