Book (series)Technical studyCase studies on the effects of transferable fishing rights on fleet capacity and concentration of quota ownership 2001
Also available in:
No results found.This report describes how the introduction of transferable fishing (effort) or fish (catch) quotas has affected the capacity of the fleet prosecuting the target fishery for which the harvesting rights apply. It consists of 16 national, or national fishery, studies, describes how the introduction of transferable fishing (effort) or fish (catch) quotas has affected the capacity of the fleet prosecuting the target fishery for which the harvesting rights apply. The case studies include two fro m the European Union (the U.K. and the Netherlands) and for Iceland. Two studies are presented for fisheries along the eastern seaboard of the United States Seven accounts are included from Australia, two of which describe fisheries managed by the Commonwealth Government through the Australian Offshore Constitutional Settlement (the Northern Prawn Fishery and the fishery for southern bluefin tuna). The other five accounts of Australian experiences describe the (unique?) Pilbara Trap Fishery in the northern region of Western Australia, Western Australia’s rock lobster fishery and the fishery for the same species and that for abalone and pilchards in South Australia. In Tasmania an account is given for the rock lobster fishery while for New South Wales, a description is given for another invertebrate fishery, that for abalone. An omnibus account is given for the situation in New Zealand. In the Western Pacific, accounts are given for the Pacific Halibut and Sablefish fisheries in Ala ska, the marine trawl fisheries of British Columbia and Chile's Patagonian toothfish fishery. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyIncidence and impacts of escaped farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in nature 2008
Also available in:
No results found.This report was commissioned by the Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue. The Salmon Dialogue is a multi-stakeholder, multi-national group which was initiated by the World Wildlife Fund in 2004. Participants include salmon producers and other members of the market chain, NGOs, researchers, retailers, and government officials from major salmon producing and consuming countries. The goal of the Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue is to develop and implement verifiable environmental and social performan ce levels that measurably reduce or eliminate key impacts of salmon farming and are acceptable to stakeholders. The group will also recommend standards that achieve these performance levels while permitting the salmon farming industry to remain economically viable. The Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue focuses their research and standard development on seven key areas of impact of salmon production including: social; feed; disease/parasites; escapes; chemical inputs; benthic impacts and si ting; and, nutrient loading and carrying capacity. Funding for this report and other Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue supported work is provided by the members of the Dialogue’s steering committee and their donors. The steering committee is composed of representatives from the Coastal Alliance for Aquaculture Reform, Fundación Terram, Marine Harvest, the Pew Environment Group, the Norwegian Seafood Federation, Skretting, SalmonChile, Salmon of the Americas, and the World Wildlife Fund.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2022
Towards Blue Transformation
2022The 2022 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture coincides with the launch of the Decade of Action to deliver the Global Goals, the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. It presents how these and other equally important United Nations events, such as the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA 2022), are being integrated and supported through Blue Transformation, a priority area of FAO’s new Strategic Framework 2022–2031 designed to accelerate achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in food and agriculture. The concept of Blue Transformation emerged from the Thirty-fourth Session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries in February 2021, and in particular the Declaration for Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture, which was negotiated and endorsed by all FAO Members. The Declaration calls for support for “an evolving and positive vision for fisheries and aquaculture in the twenty first century, where the sector is fully recognized for its contribution to fighting poverty, hunger and malnutrition.” In this context, Part 1 of this edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture reviews the world status of fisheries and aquaculture, while Parts 2 and 3 are devoted to Blue Transformation and its pillars on intensifying and expanding aquaculture, improving fisheries management and innovating fisheries and aquaculture value chains. Blue Transformation emphasizes the need for forward-looking and bold actions to be launched or accelerated in coming years to achieve the objectives of the Declaration and in support of the 2030 Agenda. Part 4 covers current and high-impact emerging issues – COVID-19, climate change and gender equality – that require thorough consideration for transformative steps and preparedness to secure sustainable, efficient and equitable fisheries and aquaculture. -
Book (stand-alone)Corporate general interestUltra-processed foods, diet quality and human health 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The significance of industrial processing for the nature of food and the state of human health - and in particular the techniques and ingredients developed by modern food science and technology - is generally underestimated. This is evident in both national and international policies and strategies designed to improve populations' nutrition and health. Until recently it has also been neglected in epidemiological and experimental studies concerning diet, nutrition and health. This report seeks to assess the impact of ultra-processed food on diet quality and health, based on NOVA, a food classification system developed by researchers at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. -
