Book (series)Review of the state of world fishery resources. Part 1. The marine resources. 1992
Also available in:
No results found.This paper updates the regular reviews of the state of the world's marine fish stocks, based mainly on statistics through 1990. The introduction refers to the limits of world fish production, documents and draws attention to the implications of the high level of exploitation of the more valuable marine resource, and notes for each FAO statistical area, the major changes and trends that have occurred in specific resources. Special sections address the environmental issues in marine fisheries,and provides a perspective on the fishery assessment strategies in current use in support of fisheries management in each region. Tables are provided for each statisticl area, showing recent langings for the major resources, and best guesses as to the current state of exploitation of the major marine resources. -
Book (series)Review of the state of world fishery resources: inland fisheries 1999
Also available in:
No results found.The purpose of this review is to present a broad view of the state of inland capture fisheries. The review is organised in three main parts. The first part is an overview of inland capture. Overall, the trend is for an annual average increase in inland capture of about 138 000 t. The nominal inland capture amounted to about 7.7 million t in 1997. Actual inland capture is considerably greater than the amounts reported to FAO. The factor is at least two overall, but may be as high as thr ee in some instances. There is an urgent need for better data on inland fisheries that can be interpreted in both economic and ecological terms. Although the cost of improving inland fishery data collection may be high, failure to fully account for inland capture also is costly in terms of lessened, or lost, opportunities to increase food security and other economic and social benefits from inland fishery resources. The second part deals with trends in capture organised by continenta l regions, sub-regions and countries for the period 1984 to 1997. Asia produces a disproportionately large share of the global inland capture in relation to its continental land area and the water surface available there. The 14-year trends are for increases in inland capture in Asia, Africa and Latin America and for decreases in the Former USSR Region, North America and Europe while Oceania is stable. The third part sets out major issues, of which the environment is the salient conc ern, and future directions of inland fisheries, mainly towards increased uses of enhancements to increase outputs. Enhancements are characterised on a global basis according to type, species and geographical distribution. Rehabilitation and mitigation of inland systems are highlighted as is the importance of recreational inland fisheries. -
Book (series)Review of the state of world fishery resources: inland fisheries 2003
Also available in:
No results found.The objective of this review is to present a broad view of the state of inland capture fisheries as of 2001. Status and trends, are reported along with coverage of selected sections on the impacts of dams on fisheries, fisheries in rice-based ecosystems, database on African water resources, indices of human development and environmental sustainability, and new approaches to improving inland fishery information.
