Book (series)Regional Review on Status and Trends in Aquaculture in sub-Saharan Africa - 2010 / Revue régionale sur la situation et les tendances dans l’aquaculture en Afrique subsaharienne - 2010. 2011

No results found.FAO regularly conducts global and regional reviews of aquaculture status and trends, most recently during 2008 and 2009. The present regional review and synthesis for sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) provides an overview of major issues and trends in the aquaculture sector over the past few years. The regional review reflects development in 42 of the 55 countries in SSA for which production was reported to FAO in 2008. The production volume and value data have been derived from the latest FAO FISHSTAT Plus database for 2009. Between 1998 and 2008, there has been a five-fold increase in production from 42 587 to 238 877 tonnes. The greatest catalyst for increased production has been the emergence and intensification of private sector-led small- and medium-size enterprises and the expansion of large commercial ventures stimulated in some cases by growing public support and the inflow of foreign capital and expertise. In addition, the implementation of the FAO Special Programm e for Aquaculture Development in Africa (SPADA), as well as the introduction of new production systems, for example cages and tanks previously untried or unproven in SSA, accompanied by the refinement of existing production systems have contributed to this development. The bulk of the production (95 percent) is from fresh-water, predominantly of the indigenous and ubiquitous species of tilapia and the African catfishes. The regional review indicates that there are opportunities for i ntegrating aquaculture with other activities, for enhancing exports of high value species and for strengthening institutional capacity building. There is a need for research, technology development and investment to improve sustainability of existing farming systems. There is significant scope for improved human resources development, for better collaboration among farmers, and between science and practice and for international collaboration, within the region and with institutions and organizations outside the region. The draft version of this Circular was presented at the Global Conference on Aquaculture 2010 at Phuket, Bangkok, and the present document has benefited from inputs from different sources during the Conference. -
