Abstract
DR. C. F. HICKLING1 recently gave a survey of fish farming in the Middle and Far East. He mentioned that the best results were obtained in Africa with species of Tilapia (Percomorphi, Cichlidæ). The study of fish-farming problems being one of the principal objects of the Fisheries Research Station at Elisabethville (Belgian Congo), it may be of interest to describe some of our observations and results.
