Institutional Strengthening in the Fisheries Sector, Bangladesh

No results found.01. The purpose of this study is to bring together in summary form all the pertinent information relating to the fisheries sector of Bangladesh to examine its potentials for and constraints to further development. The present and future potential contribution of the fisheries sector to fish supplies are analysed with a view to determine how such potentials can be economically tapped to benefit the people. 02. Having examined the resource base as well as recognising the urgent need and demand f or fish, constraints to expanded fish production are then critically evaluated. After detailed examination of the development potentials and opportunities, especially in terms of feasibility, a plan and programme of actions and strategy is outlined for government consideration. 03. In sum, this study presents the analysis of the potentials and opportunities for greater fish production in the country's waters, especially inland waters. Growth in capture fish production in Bangladesh has been lo w, even insignificant to keep pace with demand and need for fish. In fact, inland capture fisheries which historically had been supplying about three-fourth of the country's fish landings has steadily declined at about 2 % each year over the last 5 years. 04. Causes or factors responsible for the slow and/or stagnating growth in the country's fish supply by types of fisheries and waters are reviewed. These constraints to higher fish output are clearly identified and alternative measures are re commended in overcoming them. -
ProjectAquaculture seed and feed production and management in Bangladesh: Status, issues and constraints 2015
Also available in:
No results found.This document presents the findings of an FAO TCPF Project “Identification and understanding of key technical, economic and social constraints to seed and feed production and management in Bangladesh”. The objectives of this project were to investigate the status and constraints of the aquaculture seed and aquafeed subsectors. The project identified the key technical, economic and social constraints hindering the development of the aquaculture seed and feed production and management subsectors i n Bangladesh. They also provided recommendations related to improving the four key areas of seed quality, aquafeed quality, strengthened capacities of farmers to utilize feed efficiently, and increased technical efficiencies of small-scale aquafeed producers. The recommendations of this project should lead to a sustained improvement in technical and economic efficiencies of the main players in aquaculture seed and aquafeed subsectors in Bangladesh and improve their productivity and economic retu rns and assure the sustainable growth of the country’s aquaculture sector. -
Book (series)Aquaculture in desert and arid lands: development constraints and opportunities. FAO Technical Workshop. 6-9 July 2010, Hermosillo, Mexico 2011
Also available in:
No results found.Aquaculture in desert and arid lands has been growing steadily over the last decade thanks to the modern technologies and alternative energy sources that have allowed water in these places of extremes to be exploited more effectively and more efficiently, using it for both crop irrigation and production of fish. This publication presents the evolution of desert and arid lands aquaculture in the past few decades in seven countries and regions (Australia, Egypt, Israel, Mexico, Southern Africa, the United States of America and Central Asia) describing the achievements of a number of farming operations, which demonstrate the significant potential for farming commercial aquatic organisms using geothermal, fresh and brackish waters. The global overview on desert aquaculture development shows, through the use of maps and tables, those countries with vast extensions of arid territories that should be better investigated for potential aquaculture development. Limiting f actors were extensively discussed during the workshop, and several measures were identified and proposed. Desert conditions are characterized by high day temperatures, cold winter nights, high solar radiation, scarce precipitation and very low relative humidity. The experts reached consensus on the definition of aquaculture in the desert and arid lands, which was defined as follows: “Aquaculture activities practised in desert and arid lands characterized by low precipitation (<250 mm/y ear), high solar radiation, high rate of evaporation, using subsurface and surface water”. At the end of the workshop, a series of recommendations were elaborated by the experts to assist FAO Member countries wishing to generate a favourable national environment to promote sustainable aquaculture development. Limited water supply remains the single largest constraint for aquaculture development in arid and semi-arid regions; however, where the resource is available, the development of integrated aqua-agriculture systems may certainly provide economic output opportunities from such resource-limited regions. Such farming systems may also enable the production of highly priced fish, vegetables and fruits all year round.
