By Nadia Chagnaud and Tim Pickering   A four-day field trip to Vanua Levu was made in February to meet with freshwater prawn and tilapia farmers and other stakeholders interesting in developing freshwater aquaculture.   Tavanesa Vakalevu (Fisheries Division, Labasa, Fiji) and Nadia Chagnaud (Aquaculture Section SPC, Noumea) met with farmers and ex-farmers around Savusavu, Cakaudrove Province in southern Vanua Levu. This fieldwork provided an opportunity to test an evaluation version of a personal digital assistant (PDA) with GPS functionalities. This tool runs a version of Microsoft Office and has ArcPAD installed (Arc PAD is a geographic information system package dedicated to PDAs). |
