No results found.The need for developing suitable feeds based on locally available inexpensive ingredients has been widely recognized. Since lack of trained personnel is the main constraint in the development of fish feed technology in developing countries, the FAO/UNDP Aquaculture Development and Coordination Programme (ADCP) organized a special training course in fish feed technology at the College of Fisheries, University of Washington, Seattle, with a view to forming a small corps of fish feed specialists wh o could then be the focal points for future feed development programmes in their respective countries. The first report of the training course was presented in the report ADCP /REP/79/8. This present volume represents the edited texts of lectures presented by different specialists. Some additional material has been included for more complete coverage of the subject. Together, these texts may be considered to constitute a manual on fish feed technology, even though they were not prepared for that purpose. Twenty-six papers are included, under the general headings: (1) Digestion, physiology and anatomy; (2) nutritional bioenergetics; (3) nutritional biochemistry; (4) feedstuffs; (5) feed formulation; (6) feed manufacturing technology; (7) practical diets; and (8) quality control. Appendices include conversion tables, electrical data, and details on pelletability of selective feedstuffs, pellet die specifications, and equipment requirements for an 8 ton an hour feed mill. -

No results found.The Ad Hoc Meeting on Management of Deepwater Fisheries Resources of the Southern Indian Ocean, organized and hosted by the Government of Namibia with the technical cooperation of FAO was held in Swakopmund, Namibia, from 30 May to 1 June 2001. The meeting reviewed the status of information available relating to these fisheries and the events in their recent development. The perspectives that were discussed tried to include those of governments whose vessels were fishing on the high seas in the study area and those of the industry with commercial operations in the area. A major concern of those present was how to move to a responsible form of management in the absence of treaty system, though it was unanimously agreed that preparations for future technical meetings able to undertake stock assessments should begin immediately. A major focus of the meeting was how data could be made available given the informal status of discussions. General agreement was reached that government fisheri es scientits who had access to this data would bring such information to future stock assessment workshops on the basis that circulation of the information would not go beyond the meeting venue and that no permanent records of the data would be made available to other participants. Discussion covered various other relevant topics, including movement towards a standard of data collection and involvement of other international agencies in activities in the area, e.g. that of the Global Environment al Facility. -
Book (series)Report of the Second Ad Hoc Meeting on Management of Deepwater Fisheries Resources of the Southern Indian Ocean. Fremantle, Western Australia, 20-22 May 2002 2002

No results found.The Second Ad Hoc Meeting on Management of Deepwater Fisheries Resources of the Southern Indian Ocean, was organized and hosted by Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry - Australia (AFFA) with the technical cooperation of FAO. It was held in Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia, from 20 to 24 May 2002. The Meeting reviewed the status of information available relating to these fisheries and the events in their recent development. The meeting noted the importance of securing the operatio ns data from companies, particularly those that no longer wished to operate in the study area. It was observed that the level of fishing effort in the study area was declining as catch rates fell. Attempts to collate catch data were inhibited by the small number of vessels that had been operating in the study area so that issues of national confidentiality requirements became a constraint. The meeting reviewed various models to relate resource abundance to seabed features and concerns w ere noted about the cost of management in the regions where sustainable yields from the various stocks would be notably low. Progress was achieved in establishing statistical reporting areas, which were based on bathymetric features though in reviewing the appropriateness of management areas it was recognized that much of the information needed to determine such areas does not exist. The meeting noted that there is no active fisheries management in the study area and in discussions regardi ng the management of other deepwater fisheries their rapid depletion and commercial extirpation raised concerns for the study area. It was agreed that there is an urgent need to introduce effective management measures to prevent deepwater demersal fisheries in the Southern Indian Ocean suffering the same fate.
