Pelagic Fishery Investigation on the South-West Coast, India, IND/75/038
1980Also available in:
No results found.The description of the oceanographic conditions of the shelf waters off the southwest coast of India between Ratnagiri in the north and Tuticorin in the south for the period 1976-78 1s based on observations carried out along oceanographic sections located off Ratnagiri, Karwar, Kasaragod, Cochin, Quilon, Cape Comorin and Tuticorin. In accordance with the objectives of Phase II of the Project, more emphasis was given to improving our knowledge of the behavioural characteristics of the oil sardine and mackerel and also to evolving methodologies for fishery forecasting appropriate to Indian conditions. Hydrography/plankton/fishing surveys were conducted during the southwest monsoon to assess the intensity of upwelling and to establish possible correlations between the behaviour of commercially important pelagic fishes and the variations of environmental factors observed in space and time. Data related to the process of upwelling were collected mainly to evaluate the extent and intensity o f upwelling and also to verify the variations of certain physical parameters noted during the Phase I. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the Fishery Committee for the Eastern Central Atlantic (CECAF) Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagic Fish off Northwest Africa, Casablanca, Morocco, 8–13 July 2019. Rapport de Comité des Pêches pour l'Atlantique Centre-Est (COPACE) Groupe de Travail sur l'évaluation des petits pêlagiques au large de l'Afrique nord-occidentale, Casablanca, Maroc, 8–13 juillet 2019 2020

No results found.A permanent FAO Working Group composed of scientists from the coastal States, and from countries or organizations that play an active role in Northwest African pelagic fisheries, was established in March 2001. The overall objective of the Working Group is to assess the state of the small pelagic resources in Northwest Africa and make recommendations on fisheries management and exploitation options aimed at ensuring optimal and sustainable use of small pelagic fish resources for the benefit of coastal countries. The nineteenth meeting of the FAO Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagic Fish off Northwest Africa was held in Casablanca, Morocco, from 8–13 July 2019. The meeting was organized by FAO in collaboration with the National Institute of Fisheries Research (INRH) of Morocco. Un groupe de travail permanent de la FAO composé de scientifiques des États côtiers et de pays ou d’organisations jouant un rôle actif dans les pêcheries pélagiques d’Afrique du Nord-Ouest a été créé en mars 2001. L’objectif général du groupe de travail est d’évaluer l’état des ressources pélagiques du nord-ouest de l’Afrique et formuler des recommandations sur les options de gestion et d’exploitation de la pêche visant à assurer une utilisation optimale et durable des ressources halieutiques en petits pélagiques au profit des pays côtiers. La dix-neuvième réunion du groupe de travail de la FAO sur l'évaluation des petits poissons pélagiques au large de l'Afrique du Nord-Ouest s'est tenue à Casablanca (Maroc) du 8 au 13 juillet 2019. La réunion a été organisée par la FAO en collaboration avec l'Institut National de Recherche Halieutique (INRH) du Maroc.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
