Book (series)Better Management Practices for Carp Culture in Central and Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia 2011
Also available in:
This technical paper aims to provide basic technical guidance for better management practices (BMPs) for small carp culture in Eastern European, Caucasus and Central Asian region. It is one of the primary documentation outputs of the “Central Asia Regional Programme for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development (GCP/RER/031/TUR - FISHDEV), a joint regional programme being implemented under the FAO-Turkey Partnership Programme (FTPP). These BMPs, prepared by the selected aquaculture experts and consu ltants from China, FAO Headquarters, Hungary, India, Thailand and Turkey, are expected to be practically useful for regional fisheries and aquaculture research institutions, regional organizations including Central Asian and Caucasus Regional Fisheries and Aquaculture Commission as well as for people involved in aquaculture, particularly owners of carp hatcheries and farms, and employees of these establishments. -
Book (series)World aquaculture 2010 2011
Also available in:
Global production of fish from aquaculture has grown substantially in the past decade, reaching 52.5 million tonnes in 2008, compared with 32.4 million tonnes in 2000. Aquaculture continues to be the fastest-growing animal food producing sector and currently accounts for nearly half (45.6 percent) of the world’s food fish consumption, compared with 33.8 percent in 2000. The Asia–Pacific region continues to dominate the aquaculture sector, accounting for 89.1 percent of global productio n, with China alone contributing 62.3 percent of global production. Moreover, of the 15 leading aquacultureproducing countries, 11 are in the Asia–Pacific region. A few countries dominate the production of some major species, such as carps by China; shrimps and prawns by China, India, Indonesia, Thailand and Viet Nam; and salmon by Chile and Norway. In terms of farming systems, extensive, intensive and semi-intensive systems are practised in all regions. In the Asia–Pacific region, d espite major technical developments in the aquaculture sector, small-scale commercial producers continue to remain the backbone of the sector, contributing the bulk of aquaculture production. In the past decade, a number of developments have contributed to the significant growth of the global aquaculture sector, namely: formulation and implementation of policies, strategies, plans and legislation; dissemination and use of applied research; and emergence of new domestic and internatio nal markets. Achieving the global aquaculture sector’s long-term goal of economic, social and environmental sustainability depends primarily on continued commitments by governments to provide and support a good governance framework for the sector. It is encouraging that the experience of the past decade indicates that many governments remain committed to good governance. As the sector further expands, intensifies and diversifies, it should recognize the relevant environmental and socia l concerns and make conscious efforts to address them in a transparent manner, backed with scientific evidence. This document provides an overview of global aquaculture status and development trends as a synthesis of such status and trends in six regions of the world: Asia–Pacific, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, Near East and North Africa, North America and Sub-Saharan Africa. -

It was co-organized with a national-level project, namely Support to Fishery and Aquaculture Management in the Kyrgyz Republic (GCP/KYR/003/FIN), f inanced by the Government of Finland. The workshop was hosted by the Aegean Exporters’ Associations and was attended by 20 experts from five countries (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic [Kyrgyzstan], Tajikistan and Turkey), representing the fishers and fish farmers associations, fisheries authorities and some research institutes of these countries, as well as international experts and resource persons from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The objective s of the workshop were fourfold: (1) to understand the concepts, principles and processes of establishment and enhancement of associations and forming umbrella organizations (i.e. unions, federations); (2) to identify the gaps, capacity needs and opportunities for improvement or establishment and development of fishers organizations (FOs); (3) to share lessons learned, experiences and good practices from other countries; and (4) to prepare action plans on the promotion and strengthening of FOs i n the participating countries. This report is the record of the workshop proceedings, which includes summaries of the country presentations, case studies and outputs of working groups presented at the workshop. The report was prepared jointly by the FAO Subregional Office for Central Asia (FAOSEC), in close collaboration with the Fishing Operations and Technology Service (FIRO), FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department, Rome, Italy.
