Aquaculture Extension Manuals

 

These simple, easy-to-follow manuals are intended as extension education materials that can be used by extension agents, aquaculturists, researchers, academicians and students, policy makers, farmers and other interested parties. Since its inception, AQD has published several extension manuals on production of various aquaculture commodities. As other technologies are verified for commercialization, more extension manuals are planned to be published in the near future.
