ProjectProgramme / project reportSupplement to the Report of a Workshop on the Fishery and Management of Short Mackerel (Rastrelliger spp.) on the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia 2000
Also available in:
No results found.The Workshop on the Fishery and Management of Short mackerel (Rastrelliger spp.) on the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia held in Penang (Malaysia), 4-6 May 1999, had a produced a Workshop Report of the FISHCODE Project (GCP/INT/648/NOR) as Field Report F-4. The present report is a supplement to this report and it contains a compilation of papers presented during the Workshop. The papers include the Status of the Kembong Fishery by Chee Phaik-Ean, Management of the Kembong Fishery by R aja M. Noordin Raja Omar, Socio-economic Aspects of the Kembong Fishery by Kamaruzaman and Lim Chai-Fong and four papers presented by fishermen representatives and fishing boat associations from various states in the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. A paper on the Process of Developing Fishery Management Plan presented by B. Pollock is also included, although the same paper had already been incorporated in the Workshop Report. -

ProjectProgramme / project reportReport of the bio-economic modelling workshop on the small pelagic fisheries of the west coast of peninsular Malaysia
Vistana hotel, Penang, Malaysia. 12-16 February 2001
2001Also available in:
No results found.A bio-economic modelling workshop was organized in order to improve the information base for the preparation of a fisheries management plan of the small pelagic fisheries of the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Plan preparation by the Department of Fisheries is supported by the FAO/Norway FishCode Project (see Field Reports F-13 and F-17). Two different modelling approaches have been applied to these fisheries. The surplus production bioeconomic model of the Gordon-Schaefer type sugg ests that effort at MSY is about 387,000 standard purse seine days producing a MSY of about 109,000 tonnes of small pelagics. At the MSY effort level, however, resource rent is completed dissipated and the fishery incurs an estimated loss of MR 25.6 million. As current effort level (data of 1997) is about 380,000 standardized fishing days, the analysis suggests that fishing effort and capacity are excessive. A resource rent of about MR 77 million might be attainable through the reducti on of fishing effort to 180,000 standardized fishing days, i.e. less than half of the current level. This result should be interpreted as providing an order of magnitude only because of the application of a single species model to an assemblage of small pelagic species. One species group, namely Rastrelliger, contributes 73 percent to the ex-vessel value of these fisheries. This result should also be interpreted cautiously because the shoaling nature of small pelagic species was not expl icitly taken into account in the modelling exercise....

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFood loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste. -
Book (series)GuidelineResponsible fish utilization 1998These guidelines have been produced to support the implementation of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries particularly with regard to the need for responsibility in the post-harvest sector of the fish producing industry. The industry that produces fish for food has three major areas of responsibility: to the consumer of the food to ensure that it is safe to eat, is of expected quality and nutritional value, to the resource to ensure that it is not wasted and to the envir onment to ensure that negative impacts are minimized. In addition the industry has a responsibility to itself to ensure the continued ability of many millions of people throughout the world to earn a gainful living from working within the industry. Article 11.1 of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and other related parts of the Code are concerned particularly with these responsibilities. This publication provides annotation to and guidance on these articles to assist those c harged with implementation of the Code to identify possible courses of action necessary to ensure that the industry is conducted in a sustainable manner.
