Book (stand-alone)Capacity development for improving the knowledge base for fisheries management in South East Asia
A regional initiative, implemented locally
2009Also available in:
No results found.Small-scale fisheries are typically considered to be a significant component of the marine capture fisheries sector in Southeast Asia because of their importance in terms of income generation, contribution to food production and to coastal livelihoods. This importance, however, is not well reflected in the decision-making and policy formulation processes affecting the fisheries sector. Fishing operations, particularly in small-scale fisheries, remain largely unregulated and usually the sector as a whole and the role it plays in the livelihoods of coastal dwellers remain poorly understood. The increasing trend in decentralization and the active participation of fishers and other stakeholders in the management of coastal fisheries resources are widely seen as effective ways to address these gaps and thus considered a precondition for effective and successful management of the resources in question. This publication reports on an FAO project supported by SIDA to test and verify new approa ches to fisheries information generation based on stakeholder involvement, dialogue and co-management. It focused on four countries: Cambodia, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Viet Nam. -

No results found.This report summarizes the results of a four-year Government of Malawi/UNDP/FAO project to establish the basis for a management strategy for the chambo (Oreochromis spp.) fisheries in the South-East Arm of Lake Malawi, the upper Shire River and Lake Malombe. Three species were the focus of the study, but because of the complexity of the fisheries and their multispecies character, it was necessary to take account of the other stocks involved. The report lays out, then integrates the findings fr om a broad spectrum of investigations including fishery statistical systems and data, taxonomy, biology and growth of chambo with attention to other important fishes, stock assessment, descriptions of the fisheries, socio-economics and fish marketing. Also included are detailed scenarios and recommendations for the management of the fisheries including social and economic consequences. -
