Synopsis (short abstract) The expression Fish Aggregating Device -- FAO -- can be used to describe any method, object or construction used to facilitate the harvesting of the fish by attracting and thus aggregating them. Fishermen in many countries have long been aware of and utilised the fact that old branches, logs, leaves, boats etc. aggregate fish. At present techniques to attract fish - mainly tunes - to rafts are being developed in several areas. The titles listed in this document are either papers received in the course of collecting information on FAO's for a review on the subject or references from secondary sources. An asterisk against an entry indicates its availability in the BOBP Library. Since all titles listed have not been reviewed, it is difficult to assess their relevance, and this list does not claim to be either complete or comprehensive. However, it is hoped that this document will encourage those interested to further and deepen knowledge about FAO's. A list of institutions who have engaged in work on FAO's is also included.

    Marine Small-Scale Fisheries of India: A General Description - BOBP/INF/03 1982
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This document attempts a brief and factual presentation of data and baseline information on the main features of the small-scale marine fisheries of India. It could serve as an introduction to the problems and prospects of this sector leading to deeper studies of particular aspects; as a source of general information about the sector; or, more particularly, as a background document for use in discussions on the planning and programming of development assistance. This is a revised and upda ted edition of a General Description of Small-Scale Fisheries, India, originally prepared in 1976 by the Fisheries Division of the Department of Agriculture, Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, New Delhi, India in consultation with the FAO/UNDP Project for Development of Small-Scale Fisheries in Southwest Asia, RAS/74/031, revised in consultation with the Project by Dr. P. V. Rao, Scientist, Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Cochin in 1976 and published as RAS/74/031 Working Paper No. 2. The present revision was carried out with the assistance of a national consultant, Dr. T. A. Mammen, formerly Joint Commissioner (Fisheries) to the Government of India. The preparation of this document is an activity of the Bay of Bengal Programme for Small-Scale Fisheries Development, GCP/RAS/040/SWE, a regional FAO programme funded by the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA) and executed by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO). Five countrie s are members- Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. The aims of the BOBP are to develop, demonstrate and promote appropriate technologies and methodologies to improve the conditions of small-scale fisherfolk and to increase the supply of fish from the small-scale sector in the member countries.

    Food and Nutrition Status of Small-Scale Fisherfolk in India’s East Coast States - A Desk Review and Resource Investigation – BOBP/INF/09 1986
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This paper is an outcome of a desk review and resource investigation on the nutrition status of fisher-folk in India’s east coast states. It was conducted over a three-month period from February 1985. It documents data from existing surveys and studies, and describes nutrition programmes and institutions in these states. The desk review was sponsored by the Norway-funded project “Nutrition and fisher-folk in the Bay of Bengal region” (GCP/INT/417/NOR), which is being executed in cooperation wi th the smallscale fisheries project of the Bay of Bengal Programme. The nutrition project is in pursuance of the resolution adopted by the 1994 World Fisheries Conference, Rome, to “promote the role of fisheries in alleviating malnutrition”. The project attempts to improve the nutritional status of fisherfolk of the region and thereby play a part in improving their living conditions. The desk review/resource investigation described in this paper is a preparatory activity of the project. It may also help serve as a source of information to planners, researchers and officials concerned with nutrition activities, particularly for fisher-folk. As a follow-up to the desk review/resource investigation, nutrition surveys of fisherfolk have been conducted in Orissa, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Reports of pilot surveys in two fishing villages of each state are under preparation. A workshop to focus attention on the nutrition problems of fisherfolk and to identify specific activities was held in March 1996.

    This document attempts a brief and factual presentation of data and baseline information on the main features of the small-scale marine fisheries of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It could serve as an introduction to the problems and prospects of this sector leading to deeper studies of particular aspects, as a source of general information, or more particularly, as a background document for use in discussions on the planning and programming of development assistance. This is a revised and updated edition of a General Description of Marine Small-Scale Fisheries, Tamil Nadu, originally prepared in 1977 jointly by the Tamil Nadu Directorate of Fisheries and the FAO/UNDP Project for Development of Small-Scale Fisheries in South-West Asia RAS/74/031.

Somasundaram, Fisheries Inspector (Sta tistics) were actively associated with the work. This paper is an activity of the Project for Small-Scale Fisheries Development of the Bay of Bengal Programme. It is executed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA). It covers five countries bordering the Bay of Bengal Region: Bangladesh, India, Malaysia,Thailand and Sri Lanka. Its main aims are to develop, demonstrate and promote appropriate techn ologies and methodologics to improve the conditions of small-scale fisherfolk and the supply of fish from the small-scale sector in the five countries.
