Book (stand-alone)Utilization of Small Water Bodies for Aquaculture and Fisheries. Aquaculture for Local Community Development Programme: Southern African Development Community. Project findings and recommendations 1999
Also available in:
No results found.In rural areas of Africa, animal protein is often in short supply and therefore lacking in the diet. Fish is a high-protein and highly appreciated food item, but fresh fish is frequently difficult to obtain. The importance of fish and other aquatic products is widely recognized, and development programmes have devoted much effort to stimulating increased production of these products. Many of these efforts have targeted aquaculture, including culture-based fisheries, as a means of increasing fish availability. -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Biotechnology in forest tree improvement with special reference to developing countries 1994
Also available in:
This document reports on the present state and future potential of biotechnologies in forest tree breeding, with special reference to their application in developing countries. It concludes that new technologies offer possibilities that will greatly facilitate the work of the tree breeder in the future, but stresses that potential gains can only be realized if the technologies are based on thorough biological, genetic and silvicultural knowledge of concerned species and applied within existing, sound tree-improvement programmes. -
DocumentEconomic planning for fishery development 1971

No results found.This report emphasizes the wide range of levels of development among the low income countries of the Indian Ocean. In Indonesia and East Africa, the absence of national markets, internal transport, communications, and financial institutions are barriers to the development of modern fisheries as well as to economic development in general. Here the prospects of success in marine fisheries are mainly limited to a modest upgrading of the small-scale coastal fisheries and to "enclaves" of export-orie nted enterprise, largely under foreign management. Countries which have national markets and relatively adequate infrastructure development, have a wider range of options in the fisheries. These countries e.g., India, Pakistan, and Thailand, can seriously consider establishment of modern coastal and offshore fisheries for domestic and overseas markets on the basis of their own leadership. Their chief handicaps, apart from lack of capital, are in business management, quality control, repair and m aintenance services, and international marketing. It is recommended that international assistance programmes give special attention to these latter issues. In both cases, the lowest costs of production and the greatest return to all productive inputs in fisheries may generally be achieved by combining the local advantages and labour supplies of' the countries of the region with techniques and capital and, in many cases, management and markets from the high-income countries. Serious problems rema in in the organization and execution of joint ventures. Investment criteria are recommended both for commercial ventures and international assistance. Attention is given to the dangers of over-investment in specific fisheries.
