SARNISSA Case Studies

Do you have a "story" to tell us related to African aquaculture.

If you have one, you can earn 300 euros for publication in the Aquaculture Compendium http://www.cabi.org/compendia/ac/index.asp

We are looking for candidates to write Case studies for SARNISSA.

You can describe/analyze a project in which you are/were engaged in, a topic related to your work in aquaculture, or write a summary in your field of expertise. The case study could also be related to one particular individual, a commercial company, a government extension service, a community aquaculture group, a university research station etc

The case studies are user friendly texts that aim to link theory and practice in aquaculture development and/or research. They consist of 10-15 pages (A4) or 3 to 5 thousand words, and should be balanced, non biased texts which describe successes and failures, involve lesson learning and where possible relate research to end users.

For examples see below:

Case study Example 1 Malawi
Case study Example 2 Tanzania
