No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)Health management in Asian aquaculture.
Proceedings of the Regional Expert Consultation on Aquaculture Health Management in Asia and the Pacific Serdang, Malaysia, 22–24 May 1995

No results found.In 1994, world aquaculture production reached 25.5 million mt, valued at US$ 39.83 billion. Asia contributed 89.9% of this total, and has since continued to dominate global production. The drive to produce more fish and shellfish to meet the growing demand has lead many aquaculturists in Asia to intensify their operations. In many instances, the complex balance between the fish/shellfish and the environment is not well understood, the organism under culture subsequently becoming stressed and pro ne to infections. As we have already witnessed, disease has been and will continue to be a major constraint to the development of the aquaculture industry. Considering the FAO's priority on developing sustainable aquaculture, the large Asian contribution to global aquaculture production and the seemingly high losses of revenue due to diseases and health-related problems, FAO, in consultation with the Network of Aquaculture Centres in the Asia-Pacific (NACA), the Aquatic Animal Health Research In stitute (AAHRI), the South East Asian Fisheries Development Centre (SEAFDEC) and the Universiti Pertanian Malaysia (UPM), and in collaboration with the Fish Health Section of the Asian Fisheries Society (FHS/AFS), organized a Regional Expert Consultation on Aquaculture Health Management in Asia and the Pacific, which was held at the Universiti Pertanian Malaysia in Serdang, Malaysia in May 1995. This document comprises the technical papers presented at the Consultation, and is a supplement to th e report of the consultation, FAO Fisheries Report No. 529 (FAO, Rome, 1995. 24 p.)

Book (stand-alone)FAO yearbook. Fishery statistics: Aquaculture production, 1998 / FAO annuaire. Statistiques des pêches: Production de l'aquaculture, 1998 / FAO anuario. Estadísticas de pesca: Producción de acuicultura, 1998 2000

No results found.The FAO Yearbook of Fishery Statistics: Aquaculture production is a compilation of statistics on world production of fish, crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic animals and plants produced from all culture practices. The data were formerly published yearly in FAO Fishery, Circular No. 815 (and subsequent revisions up to no. 11). The statistics, in quantity and value, are presented by country or territory, species, culture environment, and year, and for various aggregations. In order to provide complete coverage of aquaculture production statistics throughout the world, where officially reported national statistics are lacking or are considered unreliable, FAO makes estimates based on the best information available.
