Synopsis (short abstract) En esta sección del kit de recursos, hemos puesto a disposición diferentes fuentes de información que podrán proveer asistencia en el desarrollo y fortalecimiento de la infraestructura de la gestión de productos químicos al interior de un país, así como también en la evaluación de los productos químicos. No se trata de una amplia compilación, sino de un panorama general de la información disponible. Ésta continuará ampliándose a medida que se gane experiencia en la implementación del Conve nio y a medida que se identifiquen nuevos documentos o fuentes de información. La audiencia principal para este material son las Autoridades Nacionales Designadas (AND) y las autoridades gubernamentales implicadas en la gestión de productos químicos. Esta información podrá ser de utilidad a las autoridades no-gubernamentales y otras partes implicadas en el desarrollo, producción, transporte, uso, importación o exportación de productos químicos.

    Technical study
    Impacts of climate change on fisheries and aquaculture
    Synthesis of current knowledge, adaptation and mitigation options
    2018
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement recognizes the need for effective and progressive responses to the urgent threat of climate change, through mitigation and adaptation measures, while taking into account the particular vulnerabilities of food production systems. The inclusion of adaptation measures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector is currently hampered by a widespread lack of targeted analyses of the sector’s vulnerabilities to climate change and associated risks, as well as the opportunities and responses available. This report provides the most up-to-date information on the disaggregated impacts of climate change for marine and inland fisheries, and aquaculture, in the context of poverty alleviation and the differential dependency of countries on fish and fishery resources. The work is based on model projections, data analyses, as well as national, regional and basin-scale expert assessments. The results indicate that climate change will lead to significant changes in the availability and trade of fish products, with potentially important geopolitical and economic consequences, especially for those countries most dependent on the sector.

    This is a worldwide guide for the identification of marine mammals and those cetaceans, seals, and sirenians also found in freshwater. The 119 species include a variety of taxa: baleen whales, toothed whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals, sea lions, sirenians, marine otters, and the polar bear. There is an introduction with notes on marine mammal distribution in regard to oceanography and marine mammal identification, a glossary of technical terms, illustrated keys to species, illustrated family k eys for skulls, species sheets, and a table of species by major marine fishing areas. Every species sheet includes scientific and official FAO names, diagnostic features, notes on similar species, size, distribution, biology, habitat, behaviour, exploitation, and IUCN (World Conservation Union, formerly International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) status. The work is fully indexed and includes a list of references and sources for funkier reading.
