n conjunction with 6 CASA, on the afternoon before the meeting began, the CRSP sponsored a stakeholder meeting attended by 13 Honduran fish farmers, extension workers, and educators to identify constraints to aquaculture in Central America. The meeting was facilitated by Carlos Nagel, with support in Tegucigalpa supplied by Suyapa Meyer. CRSP Technical Committee co-Chair Kevin Fitzsimmons offered an introduction to the program, translated into Spanish by Dan Meyer. The constraints analysis was conducted in Spanish. Some of the constraints identified as most important included the following:
• Lack of an integrated plan for aquaculture activity
• Low quality and lack of availability of fish fingerlings
• Lack of information for small farmers
• Lack of training opportunities
• Limited participation of women in fish culture
• Lack of marketing studies

Results from this meeting and others planned in Asia and Africa will be one source of input into a long-term, comprehensive research strategy as the CRSP begins now to develop a framework for a new grant proposal.
