MeetingMeeting documentSize distribution and sex ratio of scalloped hammerhead sharks(Sphyrna lewini) in Indian Ocean at southern part of Java and Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia 2013
Also available in:
No results found.Hammerhead shark is one of the most common shark species in the tropics. The sharks were caught by longline and drift gill nets either bycatch or target catch. Research on the length frequency and sex ratio of scalloped hammerhead shark (Sphyr lewini) was conducted at two shark landing sites in the southern of Java in 2010, mely Oceanic Fishing Port of Cilacap and Fish Landing Site Tanjung Luar, East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. Data were collected from the surveyed areas including the length of frequency and the sex composition. The research objective was to obtain data and information for magement and conservation of scalloped hammerhead sharks. The results showed that the size distribution of scalloped hammerhead sharks females and males were between 51 cm to 300 cm TL and 127 cm to 244 cm TL, respectively. Sex ratio of male and female were unequal, where female caught more frequent than male. The catch during the study was domited by the immature fishes. This condition remind that s harks resources should be maged wisely for their sustaibility.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookScientific review of the impact of climate change on plant pests
A global challenge to prevent and mitigate plant-pest risks in agriculture, forestry and ecosystems
2021Climate change represents an unprecedented challenge to the world’s biosphere and to the global community. It also represents a unique challenge for plant health. Human activities and increased market globalization, coupled with rising temperatures, has led to a situation that is favourable to pest movement and establishment. This scientific review assesses the potential effects of climate change on plant pests and consequently on plant health. The evidence assessed strongly indicates that climate change has already expanded some pests’ host range and geographical distribution, and may further increase the risk of pest introduction to new areas. This calls for international cooperation and development of harmonized plant protection strategies to help countries successfully adapt their pest risk management measures to climate change. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
