Synopsis (short abstract) Giant red shrimp (Aristaeomorpha foliacea) and blue and red shrimp (Aristeus antennatus) are two of the most valuable fishery resources in the Mediterranean and comprise most of the landed value from deep-water capture fisheries in the central Mediterranean. To support the sustainability of these fisheries, the GFCM adopted three multiannual management plans in 2022 for giant red shrimp and blue and red shrimp. This publication aims to inform the development of effective long-term adaptive management measures within these existing management plans by presenting the results of a collaborative effort to compile comprehensive data, information and research concerning the biology, ecology and fishery of these species in the central-eastern Mediterranean. The analyses and data contained within this study highlight the significant progress that has been made towards improving the understanding of giant red shrimp and blue and red shrimp, while emphasizing the additional work needed to address gaps in order to strengthen the management of deep-water red shrimp fisheries.

The report on the appraisal of the Lampung Giant Fresh Water Shrimp Project is undertaken on the basis of Contract No. DP/INS/72/064-2/FI with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. Its aim is the assessment of the various implications of the Lampung Giant Fresh Water Shrimp Project. The project under study has a dual objective since its aim is not only the technical development of Giant Fresh Water Shrimp Culture but its feasibility within the framework of the pres ent transmigration program. The study is thus directed to explore the requirements and possibilities of Giant Fresh Water Shrimp Culture as a non-paddy-field alternative engagement for transmigrants. Within such a framework, the appraisal is thus directed not only at the technical and financial aspects of the project but more importantly the design of the organization to accommodate and the specification of marketing efforts to sustain the undertaking. The presents study reflects the coopera tive effort between the Directorate General of Fisheries and the Management Institute of the Faculty of Economics, University of Indonesia, both in data gathering as well as analysis.
