It also includes 23 papers presented at the seminar by participants from various countries. A bibliography on Gracilaria, which was prepared in connection with the seminar, is being published separately. The seminar was held to review current status of knowledge on the subject worldwide and to help point future work directions. The seminar and the report on it were jointly sponsored by two projects of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP)-the Small-Scale Fisherfolk Communities Project and the Post-Harvest Fisheries Project. The Small-Scale Fisherfolk Communities Project of the Bay of Bengal Programme began in 1987 for a duration of five years. It is funded by SIDA (Swedish International Development Authority) and DANIDA (Danish International Development Authority). Its main aim is to develop, demons trate and promote technologies and methodologies to improve the conditions of fisherfolk in seven countries bordering the Bay of Bengal-Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives, Sri Lanka and Thailand. The Post-Harvest Fisheries Project is executed and funded by the ODA (Overseas Development Administration of the United Kingdom). -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the Seminar on the Mud Crab Culture and Trade - BOBP/REP/51
Swat Thani, Thailand; November 5-8,1991
1992Also available in:
No results found.The mud crab, Scylla sp.. found throughout the Indo-Pacific region. has become increasingly popular by virtue of its meat quality and large size. While regional trade in the species has been growing. very little attention has been given to the fishery and culture in the Bay of Bengal region. The fishery, culture and trade in Scylla sp. i s small-scale and involves artisanal fisherfolk, thus attracting the interest of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP). As little is known of the state of the fishery, culture and trade. it was felt that a regional seminar might be an appropriate medium for an exchange of information among BOBP’s member countries. A seminar would also provide an opportunity to update knowledge of the industry. Southern Thailand, particularly the province of Surat Thani, has long been a centre for the capture and culture of the mud crab. With the proximity of the provincial brackishwater station and the opportunity to observe the industry first-hand; the town of Surat Thani promised to be an ideal venue for the seminar. And so, BOBP, in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries (DOCF) of the Government of Thailand, convened the seminar from November 5 to 8, 1991 Representatives from all the BOBP member countries, as well as the Philippines, Australia and U.S.A., attended. Aquaculturists, scientists, businessmen, socio-economists, feed manufacturers and development strategists were among the 54 participants. There were five sessions: Biol ogy and natural resources. Seed supply, Culture, Trade and a combined session with focus on Extension, Credit and Economic. During these sessions, 22 papers a nd six backgrounders were presented. To our knowledge, this was the first seminar in the region, and perhaps the world, devoted exclusively to the mud crab.

Book (series)GuidelineResponsible fish utilization 1998These guidelines have been produced to support the implementation of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries particularly with regard to the need for responsibility in the post-harvest sector of the fish producing industry. The industry that produces fish for food has three major areas of responsibility: to the consumer of the food to ensure that it is safe to eat, is of expected quality and nutritional value, to the resource to ensure that it is not wasted and to the envir onment to ensure that negative impacts are minimized. In addition the industry has a responsibility to itself to ensure the continued ability of many millions of people throughout the world to earn a gainful living from working within the industry. Article 11.1 of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and other related parts of the Code are concerned particularly with these responsibilities. This publication provides annotation to and guidance on these articles to assist those c harged with implementation of the Code to identify possible courses of action necessary to ensure that the industry is conducted in a sustainable manner.
