No results found.The Technical Consultation on the Precautionary Approach to Capture Fisheries (including species introductions), organized at the initiative of the Government of Sweden and in cooperation with FAO, was held from 6 to 13 June 1995, in the Institute of Marine Research (Lysekil, Sweden), under the aegis of the Swedish National Board of Fisheries. The meeting, opened by the Swedish Ministry of Agriculture, Mrs Margareta Winberg, was chaired by Mr Per Wramner, assisted by Messrs Serge Gar cia (FAO, Vice Chairman) and Armin Lindquist and was attended by 34 participants from 15 countries and FAO. The meeting considered seven scientific papers produced in advance of the meeting, by some of the participants, as a basis for the discussions. It produced a set of guidelines for the practical implementation of the precautionary approach to fisheries (published in the FAO Fisheries Technical Papers Series). -

No results found.Man, while he ‘domesticated’ many animals and plants, left the fish out - the carps and the trouts are relatively very recent attempts. The neglect of fish was perhaps mainly owing to man's unfamiliarity with the watery environment; what is under water is not easily seen as well. Man could commune with his terrestrial cohabitants and make them his pets and beasts of burden. He could watch his land live-stock and easily recognize a sick cow or chicken. Even when an attempt is made to learn how th e fish performed he could not comprehend it easily. The air he breathes is so thin, same as that for the cow and the chicken, whereas the water used for breathing by fish is so heavy and contains so little of oxygen, that man could not feel the “pains” of the fish to extract the life giving gas, which looms as it were as the perennial risk of the denizens of water. -

SOUTH PACIFIC AQUACULTURE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

No results found.Tilapia species have been periodically introduced in Fiji since 1949. The main reason for the introduction was to provide animal protein feed to piggeries. In later years, the idea of utilizing Tilapia species for human consumption took root and for the last 10 years Oreochromis niloticus has been the species of choice for aquaculture purposes. Since 1983 fish ponds were constructed in the interior areas of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu for the purpose of providing supplemental animal protein to the protein-deficient inland rural communities. Uncontrolled introduction, accidental or intentional release of Tilapia species in rivers and streams, has led to genetic contamination through free cross-breeding of wild dwelling populations during flooding with the broodstock kept in the hatchery for breeding purposes. Probably due to genetic contamination, the performance of the broodstock deteriorated resulting in poor quality fry. Hatchery-reared fry, once stocked for grow-out in village pond s, reproduced early and the growth rate was low. Appropriate feed composition and preparation represent a constraint for improving yields. In addition, feed components are irregularly available and their cost high due to competition with other animal husbandry practices. Additional constraints to fish farming development are identified in the lack of trained manpower, land tenure and financing initial costs in the country.
