No results found.The Eighth Session of the Central Asian and Caucasus Regional Fisheries and Aquaculture Commission (CACFish) was held in Baku, Azerbaijan from 19 to 20 December 2023. The Session was attended by four Member States: Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Türkiye. Seven non-CACFish Member States were invited to attend and were present, namely: Georgia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, the Russian Federation, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. Two agencies of the United Nations were also present: the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The Commission was briefed on the main decisions and recommendations of the respective FAO Regional Conferences, Committees and regional fisheries bodies. The Session witnessed interactive discussions about how the Commission could establish operational collaborations with the private sector and associations of fishers and fish farmers. There was a suggestion that the Commission strengthen its operational capacity through activities to be funded through external budgetary resources. The Commission echoed the need to increase the number of CACFish Members, and invited the participating non-CACFish Member States that were present at the Session to consider formally joining the Commission. The Commission reviewed the key outcomes and main recommendations of the Sixth Meeting of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The Commission agreed on its workplan for the 2023–2025 intersessional period. Восьмая сессия Региональной комиссии по рыбному хозяйству и аквакультуре в Центральной Азии и на Кавказе (CACFish) прошла в Баку, Азербайджан, с 19 по 20 декабря 2023 года. В сессии приняли участие представители четырёх стран-членов Комиссии: Азербайджана, Кыргызстана, Таджикистана и Турции. К участию в мероприятии были также приглашены (и принимали участие) представители семи следующих стран, не являющихся членами CACFish: Грузии, Казахстана, Монголии, Российской Федерации, Туркменистана, Украины и Узбекистана. Присутствовали также сотрудники двух агентств Организации Объединённых наций: Программа развития ООН (ПРООН) и Всемирная организация здравоохранения (ВОЗ). Комиссия была проинформирована об основных решениях и рекомендациях соответствующих региональных конференций, комитетов и региональных органов по рыбному хозяйству ФАО. Во время сессии прошли интерактивные обсуждения, предметом которых стали вопросы налаживания оперативного взаимодействия Комиссии с частным сектором и ассоциациями рыбаков и рыбоводов. Было предложено, чтобы Комиссия укрепляла свой оперативный потенциал посредством деятельности, которая будет осуществляться за счёт внешних бюджетных ресурсов. Комиссия подтвердила необходимость увеличения числа членов CACFish и предложила участвовавшим в сессии странам, не являющимся членами Комиссии, рассмотреть возможность официального присоединения к Комиссии. Комиссия рассмотрела ключевые результаты и основные рекомендации шестого заседания Технического консультативного комитета (ТКК).

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookClimate change impacts on twenty major crop pests in Central Asia, the Caucasus and Southeastern Europe 2021This research report for a regional study on the impacts of climate change on the spread of pests contributes to FAO’s normative work, as a milestone for 2020–2021 under the Regular Programme. The year 2020 was designated by the United Nations as the as the International Year of Plant Health (IYPH), with the aim of reducing crop loss from pests, which is estimated at 40 percent. In the current report, agricultural pests as any organism harmful to plants, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, nematodes, insects, etc are defined by the authors. We include those that cause direct damage as well as disease-causing organisms. Climate change is projected to worsen crop losses by another 10–25 percent, which in some regions would emanate from associated pests. Central Asia, the Caucasus and Southeastern Europe are under the research area.

Fully illustrated dichotomous keys to all taxa are provided. Species are treated in detail, with accounts including the scientific name, FAO common name in English (where available), other useful characters, size, a distribution map, and one or more illustrations. To facilitate even further the identification of the taxa, captions and arrows are added to help users quickly locate their key morphological features. The guide is intended for both specialists, and nonspecialists who have a working knowledge of ichthyology. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAquatic biodiversity in Rice-Based Ecosystems
Studies and reports from Indonesia, Lao PDR and the Philippines
2014Also available in:
No results found.This report contains the assessments of availability and use of aquatic organisms in rice ecosystems conducted in late 2013 in four sites in Indonesia (three in West Java and one in Bali), three sites in Xieng Khouang Province in Lao People’s Democratic Republic and four sites in three provinces on Luzon Island in the Philippines. A standard methodology was applied in conducting the assessments. The documentation was made of the animal and plant organisms found in the study sites and being colle cted by the people, the methods and tools to capture or gather them, and their uses as food, medicine and for other purposes. Local people have generally acknowledged a general decline in the abundance and diversity of the species. Factors included the intensification of rice cultivation accompanied by the use of chemical inputs, increasing exploitation driven by population increase and in some cases a high market demand for some species, and destructive fishing. Recommendations range from expan ding the study period to observe biodiversity changes during other seasons of the year, locally tailored management measures using the study sites as pilot areas, national policy that protect the ricefield ecosystem biodiversity and enhance their flow of services, extending the assessment to the value chain of the species which have an increasing market demand, to institutional arrangements and collaboration between national, regional and international agencies and organizations. Awareness raisi ng of the value of the products and services of ricefield ecosystems and capacity building for communities and government agencies for management of the ecosystem were strongly recommended. This was taken one step further in Lao PDR where a small pilot project was undertaken with the Department of Livestock and Fisheries, to develop improved methodologies for integrating work on the valuation of aquatic resources into local policy development processes. This included the development of local cap acity and demonstrated that a facilitated process of collaboration between local communities and local government agricultural extension officers, can successfully influence local policy and establish institutional mechanisms to sustain this work at both local and national levels. -
