I have just posted a news in the ANAF web site. Unfortunately due to budget constraints in FAO I was only able to add the French and Arabic translations of the abstract of each paper. I do not know in the future, but according to the interest for this publication we can find some funds for translation, maybe from NEPAD or SIDA project.  All the best, Valerio  Cher Will, Merci pour votre action rapide. Je viens de posté un nouvelles dans le site Web de l'ANAF. Malheureusement, en raison de contraintes budgétaires de la FAO, je n'ai pu ajouter les traductions en français et en arabe le résumé de chaque document. Je ne sais pas à l'avenir, mais en fonction de l'intérêt pour cette publication, nous pouvons trouver des fonds pour la traduction, peut-être du NEPAD ou l'ASDI projet.

Underground water certainly represents an opportunity for poor farming communities living in arid and isolated areas. Applying water-saving strategies, including use of run-off water and integration of aquaculture with agriculture practices, has demonstrated the good performances of fish/vegetable co-culture systems even in very arid and remote areas.   We would certainly appreciate if you could bring this publication to the attention of all interested and relevant people and offices you may be in contact with.  Hard copies are available on demand.  Kindest regards,  Valerio Crespi and Alessandro Lovatelli    Crespi, V.; Lovatelli, A.Aquaculture in desert and arid lands: Developments and constraints FAO Technical Workshop. 6-9 July 2010, Hermosillo, Mexico. Proceedings No. 20 Rome, FAO. 2011. 202 pp.  ABSTRACT - Aquaculture in desert and arid lands has been growing steadily over the last decade thanks to the modern technologies and alternative energy sources that have allowed water in these places of extremes to be exploited more effectively and more efficiently, using it for both crop irrigation and production of fish.This publication presents the evolution of desert and arid land aquaculture in the past few decades in seven countries and regions (Australia, Egypt, Israel, Mexico, Southern Africa, the United States of America, and Central Asia) describing the achievements of a number of farming operations, which demonstrate the significant potential for farming commercial aquatic organisms using geothermal, fresh and brackish waters. The global overview on desert aquaculture development shows, through the use of maps and tables, those countries with vast extensions of arid territories that should be better investigated for potential aquaculture development.Limiting factors were extensively discussed during the workshop, and several measures were identified and proposed. Desert conditions are characterized by high day temperatures, cold winter nights, solar radiation, scarce precipitation and very low relative humidity. The experts reached consensus on the definition of aquaculture in the desert and arid lands, which was defined as follows: “Aquaculture activities practised in desert and arid lands characterized by low precipitation (< 250 mm/year), high solar radiation, high rate of evaporation, using subsurface and surface water”.At the end of the workshop, a series of recommendations were elaborated by the experts to assist FAO Member countries wishing to generate a favourable national environment to promote sustainable aquaculture development. Limited water supply remains the single largest constraint for aquaculture development in arid and semi-arid regions; however, where the resource is available, the development of integrated aqua-agriculture systems may certainly provide economic output opportunities from such resource-limited regions. Such farming systems may also enable the production of highly priced fish, vegetables and fruits all year round.      The publication can be found at the following addresses: Online PDF file:                http://www.fao.org/docrep/015/ba0114e/ba0114e.pdfOnline PDF zipped file:    http://www.fao.org/docrep/015/ba0114e/ba0114e.zip      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Valerio CRESPI Aquaculture Officer (Information)Aquaculture Service of the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department V.le delle Terme di Caracalla, 00153 Rome-Italy.
