Book (stand-alone)Regional Review on Status and Trends in Aquaculture Development in Latin America and the Caribbean 2015 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Until about 2010, population growth rates in the region exceeded world averages. However, they are now at 1.13% per year in 2010-2015, below world values (1.18%) and expected to continue diminishing to 0.72% by 2030. In the past, Central America has shown the highest population growth rates within this region and the Caribbean the smallest, situations likely to continue until 2030. The LAC Region has also evolved in economic and social terms. Life expectancy in the region is above world averages , is constantly increasing and is comparable to that of more developed regions of the world. LAC countries are classified as ‘developing nations’ except for Haiti, the only LAC country considered among the least developed countries of the world. The LAC region shows many advances in social and economic terms and has ample physical space and good environmental and social conditions to further develop its economy and the production of food. There is, however, a lot of ground to cover to reach more rewarding quality-of- life levels, comparable to those prevailing in North America and in other OECD nations. -
Book (stand-alone)Regional Review on Status and Trends in Aquaculture Development in sub-Saharan Africa 2015 2017
Also available in:
No results found.The present regional review and synthesis for sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) provides an overview of major issues and trends in the aquaculture sector between 2004 and 2014 with emphasis on outstanding issues over the last five years. The regional review reflects development in 41countries in SSA for which production was reported to FAO in 2014. The production volume and value data have been derived from the latest FAO global aquaculture dataset 1950-2014 (FishStat). Over 40 SSA countries have adopted national environmental framework laws and national aquaculture legislation overviews (NALOs) illustrate that some countries have incorporated specific regulations to promote environmental management of aquaculture. Regulations on the use of alien species, monitoring of aquaculture activities, improvement in the implementation of environmental impact assessment (EIA), the prevention and mitigation of escapes and aquaculture zoning as a well as the application of ecosystem approach to aquaculture (EAA) deserve more attention in region. There is a need for research and technology development, in particular the development of high quality, cost effective aquafeeds designed specifically for species and life stages being grown, profitability or viability of different aquaculture production systems and subsequent development of business plans, and value-chain improvement, marketing and research to inform policy. -
Book (stand-alone)Regional review on status and trends in aquaculture development in North America 2015 2017
Also available in:
No results found.The review summarizes status and trends of aquaculture development in North America for the period 2010-2015 and concentrates on activities in Canada and the United States of America. Relevant aspects of the social and economic background of each country are followed by a description of current and evolving aquaculture practices (species, methods, amounts and values) and the needs of the industry in terms of resources, services and technologies. Impacts of aquacultural practices on the environme nt are discussed, followed by a consideration of the industry’s response to market demands and opportunities and its contribution to social and economic development at the regional, national and international levels. External pressures on the sector, including climate change and economic events are described, along with associated changes in governance. The review concludes with an analysis of North American aquaculture’s contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the FAO Strategic Ob jectives, and the FAO Blue Growth Initiative. Throughout the review, outstanding issues and success stories are identified and a “way forward” suggested for each main topic.
