No results found.This document brings together the 28 papers presented at the Expert Consultation on Inlnad Fishery Enhancements, held in Dhaka, Bangladesh from 7 to 11 April 1997. The Expert Consultation was jointly organized by FAO and the Department for Intenational Development of teh United Kingdom and was hosted by the government of Bangladesh. The major objective of the Expert Consultation was to promote better understanding of how various factors fit together for successful implementation of inland fisher ies enhancement programmes. Accordingly, the papers span a broad range of topics - technical, socio-economic, cultural and administrative. Techniques, geographic constraints, problems of information gathering and monitoring, and genetics are addressed. Because of its relative importance as a an enhancement technique, stocking received much attention; areas discussed include strategies, modelling and prediction of results, health management and fitness of stocked fish as well as stocking experien ces by type ot water body. Cage culture - its importnace, promotion through extension and limitations - is also considered. Other papers cover social and economic benefits and their distribution, institutions and self-and participatory management. Country reviews dealing very broadly with enhancement are also included. This FAO Fisheries Technical Paper is a companion to teh Report of the Expert Consultation on Inland Fishery Enhancements, FAO Fisheries Report No. 559, which deals with the admin istratve aspects of the meeting and sets out its conclusions and recommendations. -

The Symposium on Water for Sustainable Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture was held in Praia do Carvoeiro, Portugal, from 23-26 June 1998, in concomitance with the Twentieth Session of the European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission (EIFAC). Sixty eight participants from 23 countries attended the symposium; 27 papers and 6 posters were presented. The Symposium concluded that those in charge of fisheries and aquaculture development should seek collaboration with other agencies and sectors of socie ty in order to improve coordination of water resource management and to ensure that the needs of inland fisheries and aquaculture are adequately represented in management plans. An urgent requirement would be an economic and social evaluation of inland fisheries, aquaculture production, fishing communities, fish populations and aquatic environments in general. -
Book (series)The inland fisheries of the Russian Federation: their current status for food provision and employment 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Russian Federation is the largest country in the world occupying one-third of Eurasia and it has enormous water resources. Fish from inland waters has always been a central part of the Russian diet and a major contributor to national food security. Inland fisheries are highly diversified and provide employment to 40 500 fishers in industrial fisheries. In addition an estimated 2.4 million amateur and recreational fishers and around 150 000 Indigenous Peoples fish for subsistence and small-scale trade. Historic production figures surpassed 500 000 tonnes of fish from Russian inland fisheries, but have declined over the last 40 years, and current official catches are around 270 000 tonnes. However, unrecorded catches by recreational/amateur fishers add up to an estimated 100 000 tonnes annually, and subsistence catches by Indigenous Peoples probably add another 67 000 tonnes; and finally, illegal catches may add another 50 000 tonnes, suggesting that total landings are not far from what was caught in the past. The Russian Federation has invested significant resources and efforts into developing and managing inland fisheries and aquaculture. The review presents the current management structure and summarizes the comprehensive legislation governing inland fisheries, including the agreements with neighbouring countries sharing some of the major waterbodies or rivers.
