Abstract
The Ciskei Fish Framing Project originated in a series of research studies conducted by the Zoology Department of Fort Hare University, starting in 1970. In 1977 and 1978, interest in freshwater fish production led to approaches from Fort Hare and the JLB Smith Institute for Ichthyology to the Department of Agriculture in Ciskei, aimed at stimulating fish production from Ciskei's water resources. Following requests from the Ciskei Department of Agriculture for the submission of a project proposal on an aquaculture industry for Ciskei, it was decided to place the project under the aegis of the recently established Agricultural and Rural Development Research Institute at Fort Hare.
