Synopsis (short abstract) Internal renewable water resources are abundant in Kyrgyzstan, making it an ideal country for aquaculture and fisheries. Indeed, between 1980 and 1990, the sectors were productive and profitable, peaking at a production level of 2 200 tonnes . After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, support for fisheries and aquaculture in Kyrgyzstan declined for various political, institutional, economic, technical and social reasons, which led to a drastic decrease in fish production. Just 200 tonnes of fish were produced in the country’s fisheries in 2009. This project was formulated with the ultimate goal of revitalizing the aquaculture and fisheries sectors in Kyrgyzstan through the development of aquaculture cooperatives and the provision of technical and material support to emergent fish farmers.

    Strengthening Regional Fisheries Management and Best-Practice Approaches for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development - GCP/SLC/217/EC 2024

    Fisheries using anchored/moored fish aggregating devices (aFADs) in the Caribbean have grown substantially in the last ten years, increasing catches of pelagic species but also of vulnerable and overexploited stocks of species. This has made it even more necessary to regulate aFADs numbers and density to avoid adverse social and economic consequences. Other concerns in the sustainable management of aFADs include the economic impact of natural occurrences such as strong hurricanes, and the lack of reporting of aFADs numbers, locations, lifespan and replacement. In addition to the above, issues remain related to resource access via aFADs fisheries, property rights claims, and disagreements on the scope of aFADs aggregated resources. This project aimed to support the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC) Secretariat’s coordinating role of connected undertakings on large pelagic fisheries and related species and fisheries, and to strengthen the capacity of the WECAFC Working Group (WG) on the development of sustainable moored fish aggregating device (FAD) fishing.

    National Workshop on Fisheries Resources Development and Management in Bangladesh - Bay of Bengal Programme 1995

    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.

    Review of the Fisheries and Aquaculture Sector: Ethiopia 1995
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This document describes the status of inland capture fisheries and aquaculture sector in Ethiopia as of mid-1993. Current production, from the main lakes, is estimated to be only at about 20% of the potential. The sector appears to be in an evolutive phase following price liberalization and the end of the monopolistic situation the State-owned fish marketing corporation had until recently. Individual fishermen are now allowed to operate outside the framework of cooperatives. Over recent years fi sh demand has grown significantly and is forecasted to be at least the double of present production by the year 2000. However, important efforts are required to upgrade fishing technologies, to improve infrastructure support such as feeder roads and market sheds, and to consolidate the institutional and legal framework for servicing the development of the industry.
