44 MARCH 2016 • WORLD AQUACULTURE • WWW.WAS.ORG Future research on mobile phone-based technical and informational services for fish farmers will explore implementation of mobile phone-based applications. Studies will identify sustainable organizational models that are affordable to fish farmers, while providing incentives and supporting resources for information service development and maintenance. Additional studies will compare various forms of institutional locations for mobile phonebased aquaculture applications that will ensure timely renewal and expansion of information systems for new species, emerging problems and changing conditions in Uganda.
