    This paper presents reports of studies on commercial aquaculture which were commissioned in Côte d'Ivoire, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia in Africa, and Costa Rica and Honduras by the FAO Fishery Development Planning Service. It also includes a summary which discusses the main points of each original report. For commercial aquaculture to develop in the region, major interventions priorities would be required in the area of: (1) Credit: adapted credit lines should be developed for aq uaculture. To achieve this, banks need to be convinced of the profitability of commercial aquaculture; (2) Enabling economic environment: changes in government policies are needed to help develop commercial fish farming, especially through tax incentives, import facilities and better permit handling; (3) Feed supplies: the technology for fish feed production based mainly on local products needs to be codified in practical form to provide for the development of a proper fish feed industry.

    Africa Sustainable Livestock 2050 (ASL2050) is drawing lessons out of the past growth of the livestock sector in Asia to assist countries in the African continent to formulate policies that ensure a sustainable growth of livestock, from an environmental, public health and social perspective. This document is part of a series of six documents within the ASL2050 project comparing livestock sector development in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. These broad overviews sharpen our understanding, highlight contrasts and similarities, test hypotheses, and inform the decision-making process. This paper presents a comparative review of the impact of the livestock sector on public health in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
