Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFAO Major Fishing Areas for Statistical Purposes (with insets) 2015
Also available in:
No results found.FAO Major Fishing Areas for Statistical Purposes are arbitrary areas, the boundaries of which were determined in consultation with international fishery agencies on various considerations, including (i) the boundary of natural regions and the natural divisions of oceans and seas; (ii) the boundaries of adjacent statistical fisheries bodies already established in inter-governmental conventions and treaties; (iii) existing national practices; (iv) national boundaries; (v) the longitude and latitud e grid system; (vi) the distribution of the aquatic fauna; and (vii) the distribution of the resources and the environmental conditions within an area. The rationale of the FAO Major Fishing Areas has been that the areas should, as far as possible, coincide with the areas of competence of other fishery commissions when existing. This system facilitates comparison of data, and improves the possibilities of cooperation in statistical matters in general. A version of the FAO Major F ishing Areas for Statistical Purposes poster with the insets of areas 27 and 37 is available at http://www.fao.org/3/a-i4763e.pdf.

Book (stand-alone)YearbookFAO yearbook. Fishery statistics: Capture production, 1999 / FAO annuaire. Statistiques de peches: Captures, 1999 / FAO anuario. Estadisticas de pesca: Capturas, 1999 2001
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO yearbook of fishery statistics – Captures production is a compilation of statistics on nominal catches of fish, crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic animals, residues and plants. Beginning with Volume 82, the normal catch statistics include only the production from capture fisheries with the exclusion of aquaculture production. Former volumes of the yearbook contain, catches and aquaculture statistics combined. The statistics are presented by country or territory, species, major fishi ng areas and year, and for various aggregations. In order to provide complete coverage of catch statistics through the world, where officially reported national statistics are lacking or are considered unreliable FAO makes estimates based on the best information available. -
Book (series)Technical studyFAO Species identification sheets for fishery purposes. Eastern Indian ocean: fishing area 57 and Western Central Pacific: fishing area 71 1974
Also available in:
No results found.The present series of FAO Species Identification Sheets for Fishery Purposes (4 volumes, bony fishes only), covers the immensely larger and faunistically richer Eastern Indian Ocean and Western Central Pacific, reaching southward to southern Australia (Fishing Areas 57 and 71). Included is the Indo-Australian archipelago, a region with the richest marine fauna of any part of the world. This publication is the result of a fruitful cooperation between individual scientists, scientific institutions , projects operating in the area, regional fishery bodies, DANIDA and the Government of Thailand. Such collaboration is essential to the continued usefulness of the Sheets, their testing in the field and their subsequent revision.

Book (stand-alone)Corporate general interestUltra-processed foods, diet quality and human health 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The significance of industrial processing for the nature of food and the state of human health - and in particular the techniques and ingredients developed by modern food science and technology - is generally underestimated. This is evident in both national and international policies and strategies designed to improve populations' nutrition and health. Until recently it has also been neglected in epidemiological and experimental studies concerning diet, nutrition and health. This report seeks to assess the impact of ultra-processed food on diet quality and health, based on NOVA, a food classification system developed by researchers at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. -
ArticleJournal articleNurturing Soil Life through Agroforestry – The Roles of Trees in the Ecological Intensification of Agriculture 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Soil resources constitute the very foundation of agriculture, so sustainable agriculture is inherently dependent on soil health. Soil health reflects the capacity of soil to respond beneficially to agricultural management, maintaining both agricultural production and the provision of varying ecosystem services, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity conservation in the long term. Soil health depends on the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of the soil that are required for plant growth and development. Ecological intensification differs from current strategies for agricultural intensification by embracing agroecological transitions to more sustainable agriculture and food systems. This chapter discusses the pivotal role that trees play in building and maintaining the soil health and functional resilience that are required for the ecological intensification of agriculture. It summarizes the current knowledge about functions and impacts of trees on soil health, and highlights the tree/soil biodiversity interactions that drive these functions.
