Book (series)The Dr. Fridtjof Nansen Programme 1975–1993: Investigations of Fishery Resources in Developing Regions
FAO Fisheries Technical Paper 391
1999Also available in:
No results found.This document provides a review of practically all the surveys carried out with the research vessel “Dr. Fridtjof Nansen” from 1975 to the middle of 1993 in the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Complete lists of all surveys carried out by this R/V, and reports produced and of scientific staff participating in the surveys are provided as annexes. Chapter 2 provides an overview of survey methodology and also describes the development in the acoustic equipment used and associated problems. Particular emphasis is placed on the surveys carried out in the Arabian Sea, supplemented by a review of surveys carried out by the sister ship “Rastrelliger” off Southwest India. The results of the first surveys of the “Dr. Fridtjof Nansen” are revised on the basis of the latest knowledge of acoustic equipment and properties and consequently many results of the earlier surveys have been sized down. Other areas covered are: the Bay of Bengal off Bangladesh and Myanmar, sea areas around peni nsular Malaysia and areas off western Thailand and Indonesia; the Southwest Indian Ocean; the Atlantic Ocean off Northwest Africa, Southwest Africa, with special emphasis on surveys off Angola and Namibia and the shelf area between Suriname and Venezuela; shelf areas in the Pacific Ocean between Southern Mexico and Colombia. The R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen has provided some of the best groundtruthing of the rough estimates of the potential resources first published by FAO in 1970. In Chapter 10 t he survey results are compared with those early guesses and estimates based on acoustic and trawl surveys of the productivity per unit area of small pelagic and demersal fish are provided. The results of the surveys have also been used for analyses of demersal fish assemblages, reviewed in the various chapters by area and in Chapter 10 and for the production of a number of FAO Fish Identification Sheets and Field Guides, of which the references are given in Chapter 11. -
Book (series)Recent trends in monitoring, control and surveillance systems for capture fisheries 2003
Also available in:
No results found.The paper has been designed as a handbook for fisheries administrators for use when establishing or enhancing, monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) systems in support of fisheries management initiatives. It updates the 1994 FAO Technical Paper No. 338, An introduction to monitoring, control and surveillance systems for capture fisheries through a review of recent international fisheries agreements and new MCS approaches involving participatory management; preventive and deterrent MCS strat egies; and the importance of safety-at-sea for fishers. The paper is divided into eight chapters to: provide an overview of MCS; review the legal basis for MCS activities; propose design considerations for MCS systems; review organizational considerations for MCS; discuss management measures and consultation and planning issues; review operational procedures and equipment; review patrol, boarding, inspections and prosecution procedures; and address emerging coastal MCS strategies. Annexes p rovide further details of operational issues and options for MCS system design and implementation. -
DocumentFisheries legislation in Sri Lanka 1980
Also available in:
No results found.The Government of Sri Lanka extended its jurisdiction over fisheries to 200 miles in 1977 and requested assistance from the Indian Ocean Programme in revising its fisheries legislation to meet the needs of the new zone. A first report in 1978, “Legal and institutional aspects of fisheries management in Sri Lanka with particular reference to the control of foreign fishing in the EEZ” (Tech. Rep. 22) recommended new draft legislation for the control of foreign fishing operations. The present repor t reviews existing agreements, laws and institutions affecting the management and development of fisheries in Sri Lanka and recommends the adoption of new legislation, including both domestic and foreign fishing operations. Certain principles are recommended for inclusion in the new legislation and suggested drafts of legislation and implementing regulations are appended. Finally the report points out the need for consultation with the fishermen on the new legislation and includes a briefing not e for the carrying out of such consultation. The assistance was financed in part by the Indian Ocean Programme and in part by the FAO/Norway Cooperative Programme.
