Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideGuide de bonnes pratiques d'élevage, de transport, de commercialisation et d'abattage des porcs 2022
Also available in:
No results found.La réduction du déficit en produits alimentaires carnés ne pourrait s’opérer que par la promotion de l’élevage des espèces à cycle de reproduction court comme les ruminants, les volailles, les porcins, les lapins et les produits halieutiques. Parmi ces espèces, le porc qui a une meilleure prolificité avec une adaptation alimentaire plus simple présente de nombreux atouts. Au Togo, l’élevage porcin joue un rôle majeur dans la sécurité alimentaire, nutritionnelle et l’autosuffisance en protéines animales des classes sociales les plus défavorisées et marginalisées. De 1997 à 2009, le Togo a connu des épizooties de Peste Porcine Africaine qui ont dévasté une grande partie du cheptel porcin, augmentant la vulnérabilité socio-économique de nombreux ménages ruraux qui dépendent de l’élevage porcin. Ce guide est proposé pour contribuer à élever le niveau des éleveurs. -

Book (series)Technical studyPacific oyster farming
A practical manual
2024Also available in:
No results found.The purpose of this manual is to give the reader a foundation of practical knowledge regarding all aspects of Pacific oyster cultivation. It is targeted at new entrants to the market wishing to establish a farm, and existing operators who wish to develop their farms and explore new cultivation techniques. The methodologies described can be applied both to low-tech, low budget, small-scale farming operations and to high-tech, big budget, industrial-scale aquaculture production enterprises. This guide focuses on the functional expertise and technical equipment required to construct and manage an operational farm in the diverse environmental and physical locations in which they can be situated, from the initial stages of finding and selecting a suitable site, to the conclusion of the first production cycle and harvesting the crop. The manual contains a brief introduction which describes the relevance of the species with regards to global aquaculture production figures and how it can form an important part of future food production strategies. Chapter 2 describes the anatomy and biology of Crassostrea gigas and gives an indication as to the environmental conditions in which the species thrives as well as the pathologies and predators that can result in poor health leading to potential mortalities. Chapter 3 deals with all aspects of undertaking a survey of potential oyster farming sites and what data should be collected and examined to assess a site’s suitability, but also which areas are best suited to different cultivation techniques. After this, Chapter 4 introduces the main farming techniques that will be described in detail in the following chapters, which includes off-bottom cultivation, on-bottom cultivation, and suspended cultivation, and gives details of some of the most common cultivation equipment necessary to undertake these operations. The techniques and strategies necessary to procure seed oysters and how to develop them through the nursery stage are also introduced. This includes the basic principles of upwelling, which then leads into Chapter 5, which provides a detailed description of how to build and operate one particular example of a Floating Upwelling System (Flupsy) which is suitable for use in remote but sheltered conditions. Chapters 6, 7 and 8 constitute the main body of the manual and provide an in-depth look into the three major cultivation techniques that this guide concentrates on: “Farming with trestles and bags in the intertidal zone”, “On-bottom cultivation in the intertidal or subtidal zone” and “Offshore longline cultivation”.

DocumentOther documentChaîne de valeur du tilapia du Nil en Côte d’Ivoire
Résumé du rapport d’analyse et de mise à niveau - Décembre 2022
2022Also available in:
Ce rapport présente les résultats de l’analyse de la chaîne de valeur du tilapia du Nil en Côte d’Ivoire menée de 2021 à 2022 par le programme FISH4ACP. Ce rapport contient une analyse fonctionnelle de la chaîne de valeur, évalue sa durabilité et sa résilience, élabore une stratégie de mise à niveau et un plan de mise en oeuvre auquel FISH4ACP contribuera. FISH4ACP est une initiative de l’Organisation des États d’Afrique, des Caraïbes et du Pacifique (OACPS) visant à rendre plus durables les chaînes de valeur de la pêche et de l’aquaculture dans douze pays membres de l’OACPS. Il contribue à la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle, à la prospérité économique et à la création d’emplois en assurant la durabilité économique, sociale et environnementale de la pêche et de l’aquaculture en Afrique, dans les Caraïbes et dans le Pacifique. FISH4ACP est mis en oeuvre par l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO), et financé par l’Union européenne (UE) et le ministère fédéral allemand de la coopération économique et du développement (BMZ). -
Book (series)Technical studySea urchin farming in the Mediterranean Sea
The case study of Paracentrotus lividus
2025Also available in:
No results found.The sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus plays a crucial role in shallow marine ecosystems and is an important model organism for scientific research. It is also considered a Mediterranean delicacy, appreciated for the rich flavour and delicate texture of its gonads, commonly referred to as roe. However, due to changing conditions in the species' natural habitat driven by market demand and rapid environmental shifts, Paracentrotus lividus populations in the Mediterranean have been thrown out of balance in recent decades. The General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations recognizes the importance of this species and is prioritizing sustainable aquaculture practices for the management of its populations. This manual outlines echinoculture plant structures, techniques and management practices for the production of Paracentrotus lividus and the restoration of healthy natural stocks. From taxonomy to feeding optimization, it presents a practical tool to embark on sea urchin aquaculture ventures. -
