Book (series)Technical reportReport of the workshop on management advice for reducing the impact of cormorant predation on fish and fisheries
Pula, Croatia, 8 October 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.The European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission (EIFAAC) workshop on management advice for reducing the impact of cormorant predation on fish and fisheries was held in Pula, Croatia, on 8 October 2024. The workshop was attended by 78 participants from 24 countries. The workshop reported on the use of EU Birds Directive Article 9 derogations, regulations and management measures to reduce the impact of cormorants on fish populations, fisheries and aquaculture in the EIFAAC member states, discussed the outcomes of recent EIFAAC surveys, provided a compilation of management advice for reducing the impact of cormorant predation on fish, fisheries and aquaculture, and discussed some potential regional cormorant management measures. The EIFAAC survey findings showed an increase in cormorant conflicts with recreational fishing and conservation interests, and that many different management measures are applied throughout Europe. Seventy percent of the EIFAAC Members consider that a pan-European management plan for cormorants would be beneficial for inland fisheries and aquaculture. The workshop provided valuable contributions to the management planning process, with a focus on research needs and monitoring the impact of regional management measures. Participants discussed their challenges to reduce cormorant predation on aquaculture ponds, how cormorants negatively impact EU Water Framework Directive outcomes, and whether cormorants could be placed on Annex II (huntable species) of the EU Birds Directive.

Book (series)Technical studyPacific oyster farming
A practical manual
2024Also available in:
No results found.The purpose of this manual is to give the reader a foundation of practical knowledge regarding all aspects of Pacific oyster cultivation. It is targeted at new entrants to the market wishing to establish a farm, and existing operators who wish to develop their farms and explore new cultivation techniques. The methodologies described can be applied both to low-tech, low budget, small-scale farming operations and to high-tech, big budget, industrial-scale aquaculture production enterprises. This guide focuses on the functional expertise and technical equipment required to construct and manage an operational farm in the diverse environmental and physical locations in which they can be situated, from the initial stages of finding and selecting a suitable site, to the conclusion of the first production cycle and harvesting the crop. The manual contains a brief introduction which describes the relevance of the species with regards to global aquaculture production figures and how it can form an important part of future food production strategies. Chapter 2 describes the anatomy and biology of Crassostrea gigas and gives an indication as to the environmental conditions in which the species thrives as well as the pathologies and predators that can result in poor health leading to potential mortalities. Chapter 3 deals with all aspects of undertaking a survey of potential oyster farming sites and what data should be collected and examined to assess a site’s suitability, but also which areas are best suited to different cultivation techniques. After this, Chapter 4 introduces the main farming techniques that will be described in detail in the following chapters, which includes off-bottom cultivation, on-bottom cultivation, and suspended cultivation, and gives details of some of the most common cultivation equipment necessary to undertake these operations. The techniques and strategies necessary to procure seed oysters and how to develop them through the nursery stage are also introduced. This includes the basic principles of upwelling, which then leads into Chapter 5, which provides a detailed description of how to build and operate one particular example of a Floating Upwelling System (Flupsy) which is suitable for use in remote but sheltered conditions. Chapters 6, 7 and 8 constitute the main body of the manual and provide an in-depth look into the three major cultivation techniques that this guide concentrates on: “Farming with trestles and bags in the intertidal zone”, “On-bottom cultivation in the intertidal or subtidal zone” and “Offshore longline cultivation”. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFood loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste.
