ProjectReview Of Experiences With And Present Knowledge About Fish Aggregating Devices - BOBP/WP/23 1983
Also available in:
No results found.A review of experiences worldwide and of present knowledge about fish aggregating devices (FADs) was carried out by the BOBP during 1981. Nearly 150 institutions and experts were requested to contribute. This paper draws on these replies as also on other published material. The paper describes a spectrum of FADs ranging from very simple and cheap traditional applications for nearshore waters to modern, highly sophisticated and expensive products for off-shore aggregation of tunas and tuna-l ike fishes. Some of the experimental designs described here are worth considering for indicative fishing trials. The preparation of this paper is an activity of the Bay of Bengal Programme for Small-Scale Fisheries Development, referred to in brief as BOBP. The BOBP is funded by the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and executed by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations. Countries bordering the Ba y of Bengal are members of the Programme. Its main aims are to develop, demonstrate and promote methodologies to improve the conditions of smallscale fisherfolk and to assess and monitor fishery resources. -
ProjectExperiences with Fish Aggregating Devices in Sri Lanka - BOBP/WP/54 1987
Also available in:
No results found.This paper discusses the experiences of the small-scale fisheries project of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP) with fish aggregating devices (FADs) in Sri Lanka from 1982 to 1986. A pilot activity was initiated in 1982-83 to design, construct, deploy and monitor a few FADs in order to test their feasibility in Sri Lanka’s small-scale fishery. It was implemented in cooperation with the National Aquatic Resources Agency (NARA) of the Government of Sri Lanka. A BOBP consultant, Mr. Charles Pet ers, worked on the project for six months during this period. The results and analysis for 1982-83 are based on interim reports prepared by Mr. Charles Peters, Mr. S.L. Suraweera (NARA Scientific Officer) and Mr. D.T Mendis (NARA Research Assistant). From 1983 end, the project was supervised by the author with assistance from Mr. S.S.C. Pieris, NARA Research Assistant. Technical advice was provided by Mr. G. Pajot, BOBP Senior Fishing Technologist. The BOBP’s small-scale fisheries project be gan in 1979. It is funded by the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA) and executed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It covers five countries bordering the Bay of Bengal — Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. It is a multidisciplinary project, active in fishing craft, fishing gear, coastal aquaculture, extension, information and development support. The project’s main goals are to develop, demonstrate and promote appropriate techn ologies and methodologies to improve the conditions of small-scale fisherfolk in BOBP’s member countries.
