Europe and the Caucasus are rich in lakes and rivers, which have provided food, income, and recreational and leisure opportunities for centuries, including a long history of European fish farming.

Starting today, a five-day FAO workshop will present the current state of pond aquaculture in Western Europe and contribute to its development in Central-Eastern Europe and the Caucasus through knowledge transfer.

Jointly organized by the University of South Bohemia in ?eské Bud?jovice and FAO, and funded by the Czech Republic,the regional workshop is a good example of triangular cooperation.

The training aims to raise awareness of modern technologies and scientific techniques for breeding and rearing of freshwater fish. Participants from Eastern Europe, West Balkans, and the Caucasus will learn about the latest farming methods and technologies used in pond aquaculture, as well as share policy-related experiences and good practices in conservation of genetic aquatic resources.
