An American fishery specialist is here to look into the possibility of producing bull frogs for export to countries where they are an item of food.
The investigations are being carried out by Dr. Wayne Shell , fishery expert attached to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) now in Guyana on a three day visit..
Bull frogs it is understood are not found locally but Dr. Shell who started his probe in Berbice yesterday is interested in the possibility of importing the stock for reproduction in Guyana.
Among the places to be visited by Dr. Shell are the Onverwagt fish research station, the Corentyne, Kamarang and Matthews Ridge, the Lamaha water conservancy, the Canals Polder and Boeraserie conservancy, the lakes in Essequibo and the Tapakuma conservancy.
