DocumentOther documentStatistics of the purse seine fleets of France’s overseas territories targeting tropical tunas in the Indian Ocean 2013
Also available in:
No results found.Statistical data for the France’s Overseas Territories (FRAT) purse seine fleet have been collected by the “Institut de Recherche pour le D ?eveloppement” (IRD) since 2001. Purse seiners registered in the harbour of Dzaoudzi, Mayotte, belong to the EU purse seine fleet of the Indian Ocean and data collection and processing are similar to the ones used for the French component of the fleet. Tropical tu purse seiners target yellowfin (Thunnus albacares), skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis), and bigeye t u (Thunnus obe- sus) through two major fishing modes that result in different species and size composition of the catch: fish-aggregating device-associated (FAD) and free-swimming schools (FSC). Here, the acronym ”FAD” encompasses any type of drifting floating object to which tu schools can associate. This definition includes ”tural” objects (e.g. logs, palm branches) and anthropogenic floating objects, such as man- made bamboo rafts equipped with radio-range beacons, satellite transmitters and scanning sors. The fleet activities are described through a suite of fisheries indicators that provide information on fishing capacity and effort, catch, and catch rates for the 3 principal market tropical tus, with a particular focus on the year 2012. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookForests and forestry in the Greater Mekong Subregion to 2020
Subregional report of the second Asia-Pacific forestry sector outlook study
2011Also available in:
No results found.In the 12 years since the first Asia-Pacific Forestry Sector Outlook Study was completed in 1998, the region has experienced tremendous changes in nearly every aspect. These changes have been particularly profound in the forestry sector, where society has dramatically increased its demands and expanded its expectation of forests and forestry. This subregional report for the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) summarizes the key findings and results collated under the second Asia-Pacific Forestry S ector Outlook Study - a comprehensive effort spanning nearly four years and involving all member countries of the Asia-Pacific Forestry Commission. The current report synthesizes observations and findings from five GMS country reports, numerous thematic reports and a wide ranging review of current and past publications in providing analyses of the status and trends of forests and forestry in the GMS. The publication also analyses key factors driving changes in forestry in the region and sets out four scenarios for 2020: Hard times, Slow and steady, Overburn and Living on the edge. The report also outlines priorities and strategies to move the subregion's forestry sector onto a more sustainable footing and to provide continued benefits to future generations. -

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.
