William  Leschen    recently  visited   southern Malawi   for the   Scottish Govt funded  3 year SHASP project - which is developing   small  scale pond hapa  based   tilapia   fingerling producers  within a 100km  radius of Blantyre. The project    works with 5  carefully selected  entrepreneurial individuals   each year  (15 in total)   towards  making them into financially  viable  fingerling  producers  - producing  quality Tilapia  rendali and  Oreochromis  shiranus  fingerlings  in ponds, hapas and  concrete hatchery tanks  - Further details of the project can be found  on the regularly  updated  Aquaculture Enterprise  / SHASP  Facebook site
