Book (series)Report of the Regional Scoping Workshop on the Use of Irrigation Systems for Fish Production in Central Asia. Tashkent, Uzbekistan, 17–20 July 2007. 2008
Also available in:
The Regional Scoping Workshop on the Use of Irrigation Systems for Fish Production in Central Asia (Tashkent, Uzbekistan, 1720 July 2007) was organized by the Scientific Information Center of the Interstate Coordination Water Commission (SICICWC), in close collaboration with FAO and with assistance from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Turkey (MARA). The Workshop was held in the context of a decreasing inland capture fisheries and aquaculture production in all of the Central Asia n countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan), after independence from the former Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics in the early 1990s. Millions of rural households in the Central Asian region are dependent to some extent on inland water resources for their livelihoods; inland capture fisheries and aquaculture are potentially important sources of food, income and employment for many of them. The Workshop aimed to build awareness among policy-makers, admin istrators and representatives of the irrigation and fishery sectors on the need to share information and increase collaboration and review the current status of inland capture fisheries in irrigation systems at the national level in the five Central Asian countries. It also aimed to analyse recent achievements, constraints and opportunities for future increase in inland capture and aquaculture production in irrigation systems in each of the countries. The Workshop was attended by stakeholders fr om each of the five Central Asian countries. The Workshop participants produced a number of conclusions and practical recommendations in support of inland capture fisheries and aquaculture rehabilitation and development in irrigation systems in Central Asia. -

Book (series)Inland fisheries livelihoods in Central Asia: policy interventions and opportunities. 2009
Also available in:
No results found.Inland fisheries livelihoods in Central Asia have been highly affected by the deterioration in the economic environment after the collapse of the former Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics in 1991. This publication, which is based on a study conducted in 2008 under a partnership between Portsmouth University, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), discusses current policies and potential livelihood -enhancing policy interventions. Examples are given of livelihood or coping strategies that have evolved for those people who currently derive an income from the sector. Three distinct groupings are highlighted in the examples presented in this paper. They include the “community” fishers of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Kazakh fisher brigades based on the North Aral Sea and the pond culturalists of the Republic of Tajikistan. A concluding section identifies the pre-requisites for more effec tive livelihood-supporting policy interventions within the fisheries sphere across the Central Asian republics.
