    Planting of the 2001 paddy season is underway in some of the Northern Hemisphere countries but the bulk of the crop is yet to be planted pending the arrival of Monsoon rains on th e Asian continent. In the Southern Hemisphere and around the equatorial belt, this season’s main paddy crop is nearing completion. Following weak prices in the past two years, some countries are expected to lower rice area and to switch to more remunerative crops. Nonetheless, pending additional information and assuming normal seasonal weather patterns, world paddy production in 2001 is expected to decline only marginally from the previous season.

    In the Southern Hemisphere and around the equatorial belt, harvesting of the 2001 mainpaddy season is about to be completed, while in the Northern Hemisphere, planting of the main crops is underway. The outlook for global paddy production 2001 is somewhat mixed. Self-sufficiency programmes in several countries appear to be assisted by a combination of timely seasonal weather, larger plantings and expected payoffs from investments in crop infrastructure and improved input usage.

    Global paddy production in the 2000 rice season, about to be concluded, is currently estimated at 594 million tonnes, or 17 million tonnes less than the record achieved in 1999. The fall reflects the general weakness of prices, which has encouraged a shift towards other crops, weather-related problems in some areas and changes in China’s cereal policies, which have prompted a cut in plantings.

    This identification guide includes 552 species of mesopelagic fishes (i.e. those fishes residing primarily between 200-1000 m depth during daytime) that are known to occur in the central and south east Atlantic Ocean. Fully illustrated dichotomous keys to all taxa are provided. Species are treated in detail, with accounts including the scientific name, FAO common name in English (where available), other useful characters, size, a distribution map, and one or more illustrations. To facilitate even further the identification of the taxa, captions and arrows are added to help users quickly locate their key morphological features. The guide is intended for both specialists, and nonspecialists who have a working knowledge of ichthyology.
