Book (series)Technical studyAquaculture en cage – Études régionales et aperçu mondial. 2009Ce document comprend neuf études sur l’aquaculture en cage dont un aperçu mondial, une étude de pays pour la Chine, et sept études régionales concernant l’Asie (à l’exclusion de la Chine), l’Europe septentrionale, la Méditerranée, l’Afrique sub-saharienne, l’Amérique latine et les Caraïbes, l’Amérique du Nord et l’Océanie. Toutes ces études ont été présentées lors de la Session spéciale de la FAO sur l’aquaculture en cage: Études régionales et aperçu mondial à la Société des pêches asiat iques- Deuxième symposium international sur l'aquaculture en cage en Asie (CAA2), qui a eu lieu à Hangzhou en Chine, du 3 au 8 juillet 2006. Chaque étude fournit, par région géographique, des renseignements sur l’histoire et sur l’origine de l’aquaculture en cage; offre des renseignements détaillés sur la situation actuelle; souligne les questions et les défis régionaux majeurs; et met l’accent sur les questions spécifiques d’ordre technique, environnemental, socio-économique ainsi q ue celles relatives à la commercialisation auxquelles l’aquaculture en cage fait face et/ou qu’elle doit affronter à l’avenir. L’étude reconnaît l’importance considérable que revêt l’aquaculture en cage aujourd’hui et le rôle clé qu’il sera amené à jouer dans la croissance future du secteur aquacole. L’aperçu mondial examine les données disponibles relatives à l’aquaculture en cage qui ont été reçues par la FAO et provenant des pays membres; résume les renseignements sur les espèces cu ltivées, les systèmes de culture et les milieux de culture; et explore la marche à suivre pour l’aquaculture en cage, qui offre des perspectives particulièrement prometteuses pour l’intégration multitrophique des systèmes aquacoles côtiers actuels, ainsi que pour l’expansion et pour une plus grande intensification sur davantage de sites en mer ouverte.

Book (series)Technical reportWorld aquaculture 2015: a brief overview 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Global aquaculture production in 2015 has been recorded as 106 million tonnes, with an estimated value of US$163 billion. The production comprised of farmed aquatic animals, aquatic plants and non-food products (pearls and shells). The average annual percentage growth rate of world aquatic animal production slowed down to 6.4 percent in the period 2001–2015. However, African aquaculture recorded 10.4 percent during the same period, albeit from a comparatively low baseline. By production volume, aquatic animals have been dominated by finfish farming (63–68 percent in the last two decades). Aquatic plants contributed 27.7 percent to the global aquaculture production in 2015. Fish produced by this rapidly growing sector are high-protein, containing essential micronutrients sometimes essential fatty acids, which cannot easily be substituted by other food commodities. The 76.6 million tonnes of aquatic animals produced in 2015 contributed 45 percent to the total global aquatic animal produc tion and little over 53 percent to the total global fish consumption in the same year. Per capita food fish consumption is estimated as 20.3 kg in 2015, compared to 19.7 kg in 2013. An estimated 18.7 million people were employed in global aquaculture in 2015. -
Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Regional Technical Workshop on Sustainable Marine Cage Aquaculture Development. Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, 25–26 January 2009 2009
Also available in:
No results found.The Regional Commission for Fisheries (RECOFI) Regional Technical Workshop on Sustainable Marine Cage Aquaculture Development, held from 25 to 26 January 2009 in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, was organized in view of the growing importance and interest of this aquaculture sub-sector across the region. The workshop focus was on environmental impact assessment and monitoring, and aquaculture licensing for marine aquaculture cage systems and aimed at identifying constraints and shortcomings that requi red to be dealt with to support the development of the cage industry and facilitate investments from the private sector. The document contains a set of suggestions and recommendations with regards to technical and policy requirements needed to support the growth of the aquaculture sector as a whole and more specifically cage fish farming. The report also contains three review documents on marine cage aquaculture in the region, regulation of Norwegian net-cage fish farming, and a review on cage a quaculture licensing procedures prepared as background discussion papers for the workshop. With specific regard to environmental impact assessment (EIA) the discussions held at the workshop clearly indicate that there is a need for the region and individual Commission members to develop an ad hoc EIA format based on the conditions of the local marine environment. A proposed cage aquaculture licence procedure was discussed and proposed at the workshop based on the format developed and adopted by the Sultanate of Oman. -

Book (series)Technical studyBy-products of tuna processing 2013
Also available in:
No results found.The global catch of the principal tuna market species (albacore, bigeye, bluefin (three species), skipjack and yellowfin) in 2010 was 4.3 million tonnes and they contributed to about 8 percent of global fish exports. Tuna is mainly marketed in fresh, chilled, frozen or canned form. However, the tuna loin and canning industry generates a considerable amount of by-products and the practice of utilization of these by-products varies in different geographical regions. In this publication, there are case studies of utilization from Asia, Europe and Latin America. Thailand is one of the largest producers of canned tuna and the by-products are mainly utilized as tuna meal, tuna oil and tuna soluble concentrate. In the Philippines, most of the canning industry by-products are converted to tuna meal, but black meat is also canned and exported to neighboring countries. Edible tuna by-products from the fresh/chilled tuna sector, like heads and fins, are used for making soup locally and visceral o rgans are utilized to make a local delicacy or for fish sauce production. Scrape meat and trimmings are also used for human consumption. In Spain and Ecuador, by-products go to the fish and oil industry and the increasing demand for these commodities, due to the growth of the aquaculture industry, drives the fishmeal and fish oil industry. However, since these are used mainly as animal feeds, they indirectly contribute to food production. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPackaging in fresh produce supply chains in Southeast Asia 2011
Also available in:
No results found.Packaging is very often critical to the success or failure of horticultural supply chains. Improved packaging can greatly contribute to improving efficiency in supply chain management and can increase returns for producers and retailers while delivering top quality fresh produce to consumers. Bulk packaging of fresh produce in Southeast Asian countries ranges from traditional bamboo baskets and wooden crates to plastic crates and corrugated fibreboard boxes used for export. This publication docu ments the results of surveys commissioned by FAO in three countries – the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam – to provide comprehensive, up-to-date reviews on fresh produce packaging in the region’s supply chains. Information presented in the publication is based on field surveys, interviews with supply chain stakeholders and experts, and references from available sources. The information and recommendations provided in this publication are intended to stimulate action on measures to sustainabl y reduce losses and enhance marketability across fresh produce chains in the region through improved packaging practices. -

Also available in:
No results found.The study was undertaken to serve as a basis for the international congress Save Food!, taking place from 16 to 17 May 2011, at the international packaging industry fair Interpack2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Save Food! has been co organized by Interpack2011 and FAO, aiming to raise awareness on global food losses and waste. In addition, Save Food! brings to the attention of the international packaging industry the constraints faced by the small- and medium-scale food processing industries in dev eloping countries to obtain access to adequate packaging materials which are economically feasible.
