Aceh Aquaculture Rehabilitation Project – Extension and Dissemination Strategy Mike Rimmer ACIAR Project FIS/2006/002
Outline • Identify information gaps • Project structure • Component 1 – Reconstruction • Component 2 – Capacity-building • Extension and training activities • Extension model for AARP
Information gaps – reconstruction • Soils • Impacts of acid-sulphate soils • Low pH, shrimps stressed disease • Sandy soils • Bank slumping, collapse • Pond layout • Poor design, lack of canals • Difficult to maintain biosecurity • Will be difficult to intensify production
Information gaps (cont’d) • Aquatic Animal Health • Lack of knowledge • Lack of disease testing facilities • Shrimp viral diseases • Lack of appropriate information • Best Management Practices (BMPs)
Aceh Aquaculture Rehabilitation Project • Recognises role of RBADC as major brackishwater aquaculture facility for Sumatra • Technical transfer • Disease testing • Seed production • Other GOI agencies and NGOs depend on RBADC for technical advice and assistance • Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan provides extension service to farmers
Component 1 – Reconstruction • Laboratories • Improved facilities, e.g. for RT-PCR • Best laboratory practices • Seed production facilities • Improved biosecurity • Incorporate BMPs for hatcheries • Field work • Mobile laboratory for soil and water quality testing, disease diagnosis
Component 2 - Capacity building • Aquatic animal health • Soil and water testing • Pond management • Production technology (hatchery) • Dissemination and extension
Training • RBADC staff • Soils analysis • Pond management, BMPs • Disease diagnosis, RT-PCR, histopathology • Extension methodologies • Hatchery production technology
Training (cont’d) • Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan • Soils analysis • Pond management, BMPs • Disease sampling • Extension methodologies
Training (cont’d) • NGOs, BRR, other agencies • Soils analysis • Pond design and layout • Pond management, BMPs
Information requirements • Need consistent message • Harmonise BMPs • Meeting in Bangkok in December • NACA • ACIAR • Directorate General of Aquaculture (Indonesia) • MPEDA India • Vietnam
Information dissemination • Need effective dissemination strategies • Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan • NGOs • Demonstration sites • Farmer groups (BMPTs, UPPs) • Need appropriate mechanisms • VCD in Acehnese
