INTRODUCTION
A VISIT WAS MADE to Poland in April 1977 to survey the current status of commercial
fish farming and research programs related to fish culture in that country.
Purpose of the survey was to evaluate prospects for increasing yield of fish
through more intensive feeding of protein and energy rich feeds.ihe trip was
arranged by the U. S. Feed Grains Council, the Agricultural Office of the
U. S. Embassy in Poland, and the Institute of Zootechnics in Krakow, Poland.
Information for the survey was provided by the three supporting agencies
mentioned above, by the Polish Academy of Sciences, and by other government
and private concerns. Trips were made to several government experimental stations,
research laboratories, and commercial rish farms. The itinerary for the visit
is presented in Appendix I.
Fisheries scientists from the Institute of Zootechnics cooperated in designing
a research project to be conducted at the fisheries research station at Zator,
The project, which concerns various supplemental feeding practices to increase
yield of carp in ponos, is explained in Appendix 2. This report presents data
from the survey on the status of food fish culture in Poland, emphasizing
the present state of the art, the environmental ana physical resources, and
the potential for increasing yield and production of fish in the country.
