Synopsis (short abstract) The report outlines the objectives of the new Master Plan for fisheries and the objectives of the mission. It then assesses the past and present supply and demand for fisheries and aquaculture research in Mauritius, and structures the relationship between supply and demand for the main research activities. A SWOT analysis is used to identify particular areas for interventions and a series of short and longer term recommendations are provided, presented in a format which allows for follow up acti ons in the future. Requirement for an Inter Ministerial Committee: Results from the interview process and the questionnaires highlighted a lack of communication at inter-ministerial level, and the need for well structured inter-ministerial committees, where research roles, responsibilities and activities are discussed.

    Small-scale fisheries and fisheries related activities make an important contribution to the nutrition, food security and sustainable livelihoods of people in many countries, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. In the Mekong Delta region alone, more than 15 million people are estimated to depend on fisheries activities on a daily basis, either for income, employment or food supply. The majority of these people live in rural (often remote) areas, with poor standards of living, and are unable t o influence their operating constraints. Small-scale fisheries have tended to receive little attention from policy-makers despite their significant contribution to food security. Systematic research support to improve understanding of their functioning, governance, and human and resource benefits has been lacking. This publication identifies some of the major issues affecting small-scale fisheries and provides a research agenda for addressing them. Consideration is also given to the means by whi ch the gap between research and action can be bridged.

    Revitalizing the Aquaculture and Fisheries Sectors in Kyrgyzstan - GCP/KYR/012/FIN 2021

    Internal renewable water resources are abundant in Kyrgyzstan, making it an ideal country for aquaculture and fisheries. Indeed, between 1980 and 1990, the sectors were productive and profitable, peaking at a production level of 2 200 tonnes . After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, support for fisheries and aquaculture in Kyrgyzstan declined for various political, institutional, economic, technical and social reasons, which led to a drastic decrease in fish production. Just 200 tonnes of fish were produced in the country’s fisheries in 2009. This project was formulated with the ultimate goal of revitalizing the aquaculture and fisheries sectors in Kyrgyzstan through the development of aquaculture cooperatives and the provision of technical and material support to emergent fish farmers.
