Book (series)Evaluation reportFinal evaluation of “Conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, forests, soil and water to achieve Good Living/Sumac Kawsay in the Napo Province (FSP)”
Project code: GCP/ECU/082/GFF GEF ID: 4774
2020Also available in:
The project Conservation and sustainable use of natural resources as a mean to achieve Sumac Kawsay (Good Living) in the province of Napo, co-executed by FAO, the Ministry of Environment of Ecuador and the Decentralized Autonomous Government of Napo, aimed at promoting the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, reversing land degradation and deforestation and contextually increasing and improving the supply of goods and services from agriculture, livestock, and forestry. The project has contributed significantly to these objectives, achieving: i) adequate support for different productive and conservation activities; ii) an initial impact on the conservation of forests and soils and on the restoration of various areas of the natural ecosystem in Napo and; iii) generated a net benefit, whether economic or social, for several hundred families. The final evaluation recommends a brief extension so that the project can implement measures for the sustainability of its results and develop a capitalization strategy of lessons learned and communication. -

Book (series)Technical studyPacific oyster farming
A practical manual
2024Also available in:
No results found.The purpose of this manual is to give the reader a foundation of practical knowledge regarding all aspects of Pacific oyster cultivation. It is targeted at new entrants to the market wishing to establish a farm, and existing operators who wish to develop their farms and explore new cultivation techniques. The methodologies described can be applied both to low-tech, low budget, small-scale farming operations and to high-tech, big budget, industrial-scale aquaculture production enterprises. This guide focuses on the functional expertise and technical equipment required to construct and manage an operational farm in the diverse environmental and physical locations in which they can be situated, from the initial stages of finding and selecting a suitable site, to the conclusion of the first production cycle and harvesting the crop. The manual contains a brief introduction which describes the relevance of the species with regards to global aquaculture production figures and how it can form an important part of future food production strategies. Chapter 2 describes the anatomy and biology of Crassostrea gigas and gives an indication as to the environmental conditions in which the species thrives as well as the pathologies and predators that can result in poor health leading to potential mortalities. Chapter 3 deals with all aspects of undertaking a survey of potential oyster farming sites and what data should be collected and examined to assess a site’s suitability, but also which areas are best suited to different cultivation techniques. After this, Chapter 4 introduces the main farming techniques that will be described in detail in the following chapters, which includes off-bottom cultivation, on-bottom cultivation, and suspended cultivation, and gives details of some of the most common cultivation equipment necessary to undertake these operations. The techniques and strategies necessary to procure seed oysters and how to develop them through the nursery stage are also introduced. This includes the basic principles of upwelling, which then leads into Chapter 5, which provides a detailed description of how to build and operate one particular example of a Floating Upwelling System (Flupsy) which is suitable for use in remote but sheltered conditions. Chapters 6, 7 and 8 constitute the main body of the manual and provide an in-depth look into the three major cultivation techniques that this guide concentrates on: “Farming with trestles and bags in the intertidal zone”, “On-bottom cultivation in the intertidal or subtidal zone” and “Offshore longline cultivation”.
