Research is reported on floating net cage hatchery, nursery and growout systems for common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) and hybrid red tilapia (HRT)(Oreochromis sp.) conducted from 1986 to 1989 in the Saguling Reservoir, West Java, Indonesia, in nine subject areas, comprising 13 experiments of 93 individual cage units. Based upon the field work from 1986 to 1989 a historical perspective on the changing aquaculture production network for common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in the Bandung-Bogor area of West Java, Indonesia is presented. Increasing market demands for freshwater fish in the province, and the advent of economically-viable running water systems and reservoir cage culture to meet the increased demand for fish have concomitantly increased demands for seed fish (fry and fingerlings). Large expansion in rice-fish culture as the central fish nursery system, and in the number and semi-intensification of traditional methods for pond hatcheries and nurseries are the keys to the future development of aquaculture in West Java.
