Abstract: This manual is the second version of the guidelines for best management practices that were developed in 2013 through the Improving Employment and Income through Development of Egypt’s Aquaculture Sector (IEIDEAS) project, funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. The first draft of this manual was developed after a field survey of existing fish farming practices and a 2-day workshop held at WorldFish Egypt with local experts. Through the CGIAR Research Program on Fish Agri-Food Systems (FISH), WorldFish organized a global workshop for developing a standard version of the guidelines for better management practices (BMPs). BMPs refer to a set of standardized management guidelines that are developed based on existing practices and associated risks, as determined in consultation with farming practitioners and relevant industry stakeholders. Where appropriate, new innovations are also routinely incorporated into BMPs to facilitate continuous improvement in farming practices.
