A National Rice–Fish Farming Systems Symposium was held in China at the Freshwater Fisheries Research Centre of the Chinese Academy of Fisheries Sciences in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, 4–8 October 1988. The symposium was cosponsored by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) and the Chinese Academy of Fisheries Sciences (CAFS). Funding was supplied by IDRC through its project Farming Systems (China) (3-P-87-0237).

Researchers from the major rice-producing areas of China presented papers at this interdisciplinary symposium. The proceedings of this symposium were originally published in Chinese by the Agriculture Publishing House (Beijing). To share this valuable information with researchers and development workers outside China, the proceedings were translated into English. The initial translation was done either by the researchers themselves or by translators with the Agricultural Publishing House. Initial English editing was carried out by Regina Morales, Manila, Philippines. Final technical editing and preparation of the camera-ready copy was undertaken by Michael Graham, MG Science Editing, Writing, and Publishing, Kemptville, Ontario, Canada. In some cases, two or more papers have been combined to remove redundancy.
