Synopsis (short abstract) The EIFAC Workshop on Recreational Fishery Planning and Management Strategies in Central and Eastern Europe was held in Žilina, Slovakia, from 22–25 August 1995. The Workshop was organized in response to a recommendation of the 18th Session of EIFAC (Rome, 1994) and in preparation for the Symposium on Social, Economic and Management Aspects of Recreational Fisheries to be held in Dublin, Ireland, 11–19 June 1996, in conjunction with the 19th Session of EIFAC. The Workshop concluded that Recre ational Fisheries in Europe were an important factor in the use of inland waters and contributed to domestic fish consumption. There have been considerable changes in the sector through the privatization of the fisheries from the original centrally planned economy. To further promote the interests of the recreational fishery in the sub-region it was recommended: • that a manual of the principles for management of recreational fisheries be prepared by EIFAC. • that data collection systems ar e established and implemented in member countries. • that principles be developed for the economic evaluation of recreational fisheries. • that Fisheries Organizations seek to raise the profile of recreational fisheries with their Member Governments, including the importance of food value.

    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.

    Report of the Ad Hoc EIFAC/EC Working Party on Market Perspectives for European Freshwater Aquaculture, Brussels, Belgium, 14-16 May 2001 2001
    Also available in:
    The ad hoc EIFAC/EC Working Party on Market Perspectives of European Freshwater Aquaculture met to address the current situation of the freshwater aquaculture sector in the EIFAC region with particular focus on problems in marketing. The outcome of the workshop aims to provide key information and strategic advice on how to fulfil the production potential of the sector to (i) policy makers, administrators and legislators; (ii) future investors; (iii) consumers, and, particularly, (iv) producers. Trout and carp (about 94 percent) dominate European aquaculture, whereas there are other promising candidates for culture that have not been profitably exploited. The freshwater aquaculture industry in Europe is product or producer driven along traditional lines and suffers particularly from a lack of vertical integration, linking producers to consumers through the marketing chain. The producers will remain at a disadvantage unless they develop better links through association or cooperation. Wh ile the preparation and implementation of marketing plans is a responsibility of the industry, and must be financed from this source, additional progress and great benefit could be derived from a comprehensive policy framework. Aquaculture as a food producing system in some cases has been perceived as being in conflict with other parts of the eco-system. This can best be addressed by the development and dissemination of codes of good aquaculture practice. While the demand for organically produce d aquaculture products is growing, certification is still largely based on the standards of private certification bodies.
