Recommendation for improvement
  • Regional offices under MARD and MONRE in association with the Research Institute for Aquaculture No 2 should increase the public reporting of key aquaculture performance indicators and evidence of farm areas. This could be achieved in part by launching the national fisheries database as advocated by MARD regulations and allowing public access to it.
