Book (series)Review of fisheries and aquaculture development potentials in Armenia. 2011
Also available in:
No results found.The present document is an update and presentation of the natural, economic and social resources for sustainable development and management of the fishery and aquaculture sector in Armenia. It aims to call attention to, and provide evidence of, the fact that fisheries and aquaculture have substantial development potentials in Armenia. The country is rich in inland water resources, but the potentials of the fishery and aquaculture sector are far from being exploited. Better utilization of water resources could be achieved through improved coordination and administration, including the implementation of rules and regulations of inland fisheries together with the enlargement of national and international markets. The review recommends better fisheries utilization of natural and artificial water bodies, as well as suggesting coordinated joint action of government authorities and fish producers, regarding the certification of fish and fishery products to European Union m arkets. The most obvious entry points for the development of inland fisheries and aquaculture are: planned fisheries management of natural waters, better utilization of underground water resources, improved governmental support through improved administration and more intensive backing of the fisheries and aquaculture sector. The review also presents a wide range of available data and information in order to facilitate the identification and utilization of further areas of fisheries and aquaculture development in the country. For this reason, detailed lists of actual and potential natural and social resources are presented and discussed, together with important determining factors of sector administration, management and business performance. -
Book (series)Report of the Regional Technical Workshop on Sustainable Marine Cage Aquaculture Development. Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, 25–26 January 2009 2009

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. -

No results found.This is a weighty report of formidable bulk and understandably so. Rarely has a Workshop in Bangladesh or anywhere else been so comprehensive in mandate or assembled such an array of fisheries expertise. Why was the workshop held? Quite simply, to give effect to Bangladesh's vision of fisheries development and management, set forth in its Perspective Development Plan for 1995-2010. That plan seeks to increase production of fish, manage and conserve fisheries resources for present and futur e generations, encourage private enterprise, increase overall economic growth, and generate employment and incomes, particularly for the rural poor and unemployed youth. These are comprehensive goals, and call for clear guidelines and strategies to address the problems and concerns of fisheries. The National Workshop on Fisheries Resources Development and Management, in Bangladesh, held 29 October-1 November, 1995, in Dhaka, sought to evolve such guidelines and strategies. The Worksh op's recommendations are wide-ranging. They relate to the management of inland fisheries, brackishwater and marine fisheries resources; the management needs of freshwater, marine and brackishwater aquaculture; integrated management of land and water; financing of all these sectors; the legal framework for fishing community development and management; the marketing of fish and fish products. In sum, the Workshop (sponsored jointly by the FAO through BOBP, and the ODA) left nothing uncovered or untouched. The report of this Workshop should therefore be a valuable document - for research and reference, and for the needs of everyone who is concerned with fisheries development and management in Bangladesh.
