Synopsis (short abstract) This multivolume field guide covers the species of interest to fisheries of the major marine resource groups exploited in the Western Central Pacific. The area of coverage includes FAO Fishing Area 71 and the southwestern portion of Fishing Area 77 corresponding to the South Pacific Commission mandate area. The marine resource groups included are seaweeds, corals, bivalves, gastropods, cephalopods, stomatopods, shrimps, lobsters, crabs, holothurians, sharks, batoid fishes, chimaeras, b ony fishes, estuarine crocodiles, sea turtles, sea snakes, and marine mammals. The introductory chapter outlines the environmental, ecological, and biogeographical factors influencing the marine biota, and the basic components of the fisheries in the Western Central Pacific. Within the field guide, the sections on the resource groups are arranged phylogenetically according to higher taxonomic levels such as class, order, and family. Each resource group is introduced by general remark s on the group, an illustrated section on technical terms and measurements, and a key or guide to orders or families. Each family generally has an account summarizing family diagnostic characters, biological and fisheries information, notes on similar families occurring in the area, a key to species, a checklist of species, and a short list of relevant literature. Families that are less important to fisheries include an abbreviated family account and no detailed species information. Sp ecies in the important families are treated in detail (arranged alphabetically by genus and species) and include the species name, frequent synonyms and names of similar species, an illustration, FAO common name(s), diagnostic characters, biology and fisheries information, notes on geographical distribution, and a distribution map. For less important species, abbreviated accounts are used. Generally, this includes the species name, FAO common name(s), an illustration, a distribution map, and notes on biology, fisheries, and distribution. Each volume concludes with its own index of scientific and common names.

The Consultation on the Application of Article 9 of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries in the Mediterranean Region was the final activity of a special project (TEMP/RER/908/MUL) requested and financed by the Italian Government. It was held at FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy, from 19 to 23 July 1999. It was attended by delegations from 20 members of GFCM and by observers. The Consultation discussed two working documents presented by the Secretariat. The first was the synthesis of the national reports prepared by the countries, and the second was a proposal for elements to be considered for the preparation of action plans at national and regional levels. Three Working Groups were created to discuss the elements dealing with: dissemination of the Code and improvement of the planning process (Working Group 1), enhancement of harmonization between aquaculture development and environmental conservation (Working Group 2), and use of the Code to upgrade the economic value o f aquaculture and to improve and stabilize trade in aquaculture products in the Mediterranean (Working Group 3). The three Working Group evaluated the document provided by the Secretariat and improved the list of proposed activities. These were also ranked in order of priority at national and regional level and general mechanisms for their implementation were also proposed. The Consultation recommended that the GFCM be the umbrella institution for implementation of the programme of activities id entified by the Working Groups.

The National Workshop on the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and its Practical Application to Coastal Aquaculture Development in Viet Nam took place in Hué from 3 to 4 October 2003. The Workshop aimed to build awareness among national and provincial stakeholders about the need to develop and implement an Aquaculture Code of Conduct for Viet Nam. Coastal aquaculture in Viet Nam, particularly shrimp culture, has developed rapidly in recent years. Although shrimp farming has brought man y benefits to coastal communities, it is associated with high social and environmental risks.
