ProjectProgramme / project reportSeaweed ( Gracilaria Edulis) Farming in Vadalai and Chinnapalam, India-BOBP/WP/65 1991
Also available in:
No results found.This paper describes some trials with seaweed (Gracilaria edulis) farming in the open sea. These trials were carried out between 1987 and 1990 in Vedalai and Chinnapalarn, two coastal villages in Ramanathapuram district, Tamil Nadu, India. The purpose of the trials was to discover whether the collectors of wild seaweed in the area could augment their income by cultivating seaweed and, thereby, also possibly preserve their natural resource, which is believed to be diminishing through over-exploit ation. The trials were undertaken by the villagers themselves, with support from the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP) and the Tamil Nadu Department of Fisheries. The seaweed farming project, and this paper which reports on it, have been sponsored by BOBP’s “Small-Scale Fisherfolk Communities in the Bay of Bengal” (GCP/RAS/118/MUL), a project jointly funded by SIDA (Swedish International Development Authority) and DANIDA (Danish International Development Ageniy) and executed by FAO (Food and Ag riculture Organization of the United Nations). Parallel with the culture trials, attempts were made to introduce simple agar processing technology at village level and this is described elsewhere. That work was carried out but the Post-Harvest Fisheries project of BOBP which is funded and executed by the ODA (Overseas Development Administration) of the United Kingdom. The BOBP is a multi-agency regional fisheries programme which covers seven countries around the Bay of Bengal Bangladesh, India , Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives, Sri Lanka and Thailand. The Programme plays a catalytic and consultative role: it develops, demonstrates and promotes new techniques, technologies or ideas to help improve the conditions of small-scale fisherfolk communities in member-countries. -
ProjectProgramme / project reportA Study of The Performance of Selected Small Fishing Craft on the East Coast of India-BOBP/WP/74 1992
Also available in:
No results found.This paper compares the economic performance of the beachianding craft (BLC) and several other motorized and non-motorized small-scale fishing craft in three villages on the east coast of India, viz. Pentakota (Orissa), Tummelapenta (Andhra Pradesh) and Thirumullaivasal (Tamil Nadu). The relationship between the fishing operations of the different craft and various factors affecting BLC operations are also discussed. The study, conducted during 1989 through the beginning of 1990, and this pap er which reports on it, have been sponsored by the Bay of Bengal Programme’s (BOBP) Small-Scale Fisherfolk Communities in the Bay of Bengal (GCP/RAS/1l8/MUL). Assistance in conducting the study and completing this report was received from Theodore Selvaraj, Deputy Director of Fisheries (Marine), Madras (Tamil Nadu), Prabaharadu, Inspector of Fisheries, Thirumullaivasal (Tamil Nadu), Manindra Nath Ghose, Superintendent of Fisheries, Pun (Orissa), C. Ratnama Chary, Manager (Fisheries), Andhra Prad esh State Cooperative Fishermen’s Federation Limited, Kavali (Andhra Pradesh), Y. Balaramiah, Fisheries Development Officer, Andhra Pradesh State Cooperative Fishermen’s Federation Limited, Kavali (Andhra Pradesh), A. Alexander, Community Development Officer, BOBP, Thirumullaivasal, M. Venkateswar Rao, Data Collector, Pentakota, Avula Ramanaiah, Data Collector, Tummelapenta, P.

ProjectProgramme / project reportKattumaram Fisheries and Fisherfolk; A Study in Kothapatnam Pallipalem, Andhra Pradesh, India-BOBP/WP/70 1991
Also available in:
No results found.This working paper describes the attempt made to conduct an integrated study of the biological, economic and sociological aspects of the fisheries and fisherfolk that use one of the most traditional and popular fishing craft of the east coast of India kattumaram. The benefits of the results from such an approach are also presented in this report. The paper discusses the significance of using one or more types of fishing gear with such a traditional craft, correlation between income from fishin g and income from other sources and consequent diversity in income categories, relative performance by other types of craft, interactive fishing problems, exploitation of resources, underutilized resources, motorization of traditional craft, marketing practices and improvements and opportunities for additional/alternative income generation. Periodic exchanges of information between the study-group and fisherfolk, in the course of this study, opened the doors to communication with fisherfolk on i ssues concerning resources and management and culminated in the preparation of a series of extension material in this field. This project was carried out in cooperation with the Department of Fisheries, Andhra Pradesh State, India, and was sponsored by a Bayof Bengal Programme (BOBP) project, ‘Small-Scale Fisherfolk Communities in the Bay of Bengal’ (GCP/RAS/118/MUL). The post-harvest technological investigations were conducted under the direction and supervision of Mr. David Walker, Adviser , ODA. The socio-economic investigations were conducted by Ms. Christina Lundquist, Socio-economist (APO) of the Bay of Bengal Programme. And Messrs P.R. Prathap Kumar and I. Ramaswamy were responsible for painstakingly collecting most of the data included in this report.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPost-harvest management and hygienic seafood processing for small-scale fisheries in Bogale 2025
Also available in:
The Post-harvest management and hygienic seafood processing for small-scale fisheries in Bogale training manual is a comprehensive resource designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of small-scale fisheries (SSF) households in sustainable seafood handling, processing, and management. Tailored to the specific needs of Bogale’s SSF sector, this manual provides practical guidance on reducing post-harvest losses, improving seafood quality, and ensuring food safety while promoting sustainable practices.The guidebook is organized into four modules, each focusing on a critical component of hygienic seafood processing. The first module, post-harvest management for small-scale fisheries, identifies the causes of post-harvest losses and provides strategies to reduce waste and improve supply chain efficiency. The second module, seafood preservation and processing technology, delivers practical guidance on preservation techniques such as chilling, freezing, drying, and fermenting, supported by detailed process flow diagrams and description to ensure product quality and safety. The third module, fundamentals of food safety and preventive measures, emphasizes food safety awareness by outlining the four primary food safety hazards and their preventive measures, equipping participants to ensure safe seafood production and adopt healthier practices. The final module, good hygiene practices (GHP) in seafood processing, underscores the importance of maintaining hygiene standards in compliance with local and international regulations. This enables participants to achieve certifications and expand market access. Through this booklet, SSF households are equipped with the essential skills and knowledge to optimize seafood handling and processing practices, enhance product safety, quality, market access, and foster sustainable livelihoods within the fisheries sector. By integrating these practices, the manual aims to strengthen the resilience of Bogale’s fishing communities while supporting the long-term sustainability of aquatic resources in Ayeyarwaddy Region. -
