Network of universities on the culture of native finfish species
Funding for this research was provided by the
Pond Dynamics/Aquaculture Collaborative Research Support
Program (PD/A CRSP)
The PD/A CRSP is funded in part by United States Agency for International
Development (USAID) Grant No. LAG-G-00-96-90015-00 and by participating institutions.
• CRSP supported research on native species in several HCs• native fresh water fish little studied & mostly threatened
•habitat destruction•pollution•over fishing (dynamite and poisons)
• many universities working in aquaculture and conservation• widespread interest in forming a network• regional interest in biodiversity and conservation (IRBIO)•Looking for alternatives to aquaculture production based in native species
Background
Network of universities on the culture of native finfish species
Objectives• Research
• Exchange of experiences, students and experts
• Diffusion of information
• Interdisciplinary pool of experts
• Networking for funding opportunities

Network of universities on the culture of native finfish species
Special session on the state of nativefresh water fish in Meso-America
Tenth Meeting of the MesoamericanBiology and Conservation Society
Antigua, Guatemala30 October 2006
Suggested research topics and other activities
• Identification of the status of the population with commercial interest (fisheries and aquaculture)
• Research on reproduction, restocking and management of populations
• Definition of criteria for restocking rivers and lakes• Identify genetic implications of restocking• Effect of exotic species over native populations• Regulations for fisheries in countries shared water • Impacts of human population over bodies of water and their eco-
systems.• Bank for germplasm for fish • Access to information on publications, collections, libraries on fresh
water species• Mapping of fresh water bodies and species • Restoration of habitats: plants and animals
Actions to follow
• Strength and increase the number of member of the network
• Write proposals for funding of activities (meetings, research, actions)
