Synopsis (short abstract)This paper summarizes the main analytical results of the biennium self-assessment on the implementation of the 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) in aquaculture by FAO Members. The previous assessment was reported to the 9th Session of the COFI Sub-Committee on Aquaculture in 2017. This report includes the assessment of Regional Fishery Bodies and Aquaculture Networks (RFB/ANs) on the compliance with the Code by countries in their area of mandate.
The analysis includes the assessment of the degrees of implementation performance at global and regional levels, extent of usage of FAO assistance by Members, and levels of support of RFB/ANs to countries, by CCRF measures. The implementation performance of groups of main aquaculture producers and low-income food-deficit countries was analysed and is also presented here.
