Synopsis (short abstract) The FAO-Norad project "Responsible use of fisheries and aquaculture resources for sustainable development" (2020–2024) aimed goal is to contribute to the sustainable use and conservation of fisheries resources through six distinct thematic components: i) Port State Measures Agreement, ii) climate change adaptation in fisheries, iii) aquatic health and biosecurity, iv) social protection, v) food loss and waste, and vi) other effective area-based conservation measures. The FAO Office of Evaluation, supported by independent consultants, conducted an evaluation of the project (Component 1 was addressed through a separate evaluation). The main purposes of the evaluation are to provide accountability to the donor and project stakeholders, assess the project's achievements, and identify recommendations and lessons learned. The evaluation presented extensive findings, separated by component, and project-wide recommendations. These have been as follows: i) FAO should continue to strategically plan its engagement for similar projects. This includes planning to fund activities with higher chances of scaling-up potential and a good understanding of the funding/economic context for participating countries. ii) It is recommended that FAO continues to contribute its technical assistance to the scaled-up project activities in the future. iii) Consider supporting member states to share outputs and findings from key knowledge products (e.g. publications and case studies still in progress). iv) The project's successes can be replicated in additional countries. In the cases of already participating countries, these can also be extended to other regions.

    The project “Responsible use of fisheries and aquaculture resources for sustainable development”, aimed to promote sustainable fisheries and aquaculture practices globally through six components: i) implementation of international fisheries agreements; ii) climate change adaptation; iii) aquatic biosecurity; iv) social protection; v) food loss and waste reduction; and vi) area-based conservation measures. The project was implemented in: Argentina; Brazil; Colombia; Ethiopia; Grenada; Guinea; Honduras; Indonesia; Lao People’s Democratic Republic; Mozambique; Paraguay; Peru; the Philippines; South Africa; Sri Lanka; United Republic of Tanzania; Thailand; and Tunisia.

    Aquaculture development and coordination programme. Fish feed technology. Lectures presented at the FAO/UNDP Training Course in Fish Feed Technology, Seattle, Washington, 9 October - 15 December 1978 1980

    The need for developing suitable feeds based on locally available inexpensive ingredients has been widely recognized. Since lack of trained personnel is the main constraint in the development of fish feed technology in developing countries, the FAO/UNDP Aquaculture Development and Coordination Programme (ADCP) organized a special training course in fish feed technology at the College of Fisheries, University of Washington, Seattle, with a view to forming a small corps of fish feed specialists wh o could then be the focal points for future feed development programmes in their respective countries. The first report of the training course was presented in the report ADCP /REP/79/8. This present volume represents the edited texts of lectures presented by different specialists. Some additional material has been included for more complete coverage of the subject. Together, these texts may be considered to constitute a manual on fish feed technology, even though they were not prepared for that purpose. Twenty-six papers are included, under the general headings: (1) Digestion, physiology and anatomy; (2) nutritional bioenergetics; (3) nutritional biochemistry; (4) feedstuffs; (5) feed formulation; (6) feed manufacturing technology; (7) practical diets; and (8) quality control. Appendices include conversion tables, electrical data, and details on pelletability of selective feedstuffs, pellet die specifications, and equipment requirements for an 8 ton an hour feed mill.
