    To initiate the preparatory phase of a UNEP/GEF/FAO project aimed at reducing the impact of tropical shrimp trawling fisheries on living marine resources through the adoption of environmentally friendly techniques and practices a Workshop was organized by FAO at their Headquarters in Rome from 17 to 19 March 1999. This report summarizes the outcome of this Workshop which was attended by FAO staff and 12 National Coordinators. The National Coordinators from 12 counties: Bahrain, Bangladesh, Camer oon, Columbia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Indonesia, Nigeria, the Philippines, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, had been appointed by their respective governments. The workshop reviewed the situation with regard to problems associated with shrimp exploitation as well as the multi-sectoral structure in place for consultation on such issues in each country. It was generally agreed that the present exploitation pattern for shrimp in most countries is non-sustainable, mainly because of capture of ju venile fish and overfishing. A priority issue, however, to be addressed and hopefully solved by such a project, is to reduce capture of juveniles of commercially important food fishes. It was recognized that any introduction of new environmentally friendly techniques and practices depends to a large extent on the acceptance by the fishing industry of any such devices, technologies or regulations. The participation of affected stakeholders should therefore be given priority in all the phases of p roject implementation. The workshop agreed on follow-up activities, which included preparation of detailed reports about the shrimp fisheries in each country, and venues for four regional workshops to be arranged in December 1999/January 2000.

    A Study of the Options for Utilization of Bycatch and Discards from marine capture Fisheries 1997

    Fish are discarded for various reasons at sea, representing a waste of fishery resources and potential food. Although the exact quantities wasted might be disputed, the amount of fish wasted through discarding is large. One of the options that is apparent for overcoming the problems of discards in fisheries is that more of the fish should be used for human consumption, assuming that it is consistent with responsible fisheries management practices. This would not only overcome the apparent was te of resources but would also add more valuable fish protein to the food balance of many people. This paper brings together information, on the species and where possible the quantities of fish that are presently discarded. Information on attempts and trends that have been and are being made to make use of these potential discards are used to illustrate the successes and failures which might help to guide further efforts in fuller utilisation of the fish resources. It is apparent that more s ystematic information is required regarding the quantity and composition of discards in many fisheries. It also seems from past experience that successful use of bycatch is usually market lead and that efforts should continue to assist in identifying suitable marketing and product development opportunities where appropriate.The FAO Fisheries Circular is a vehicle for the distribution of short or ephemeral notes, lists, etc., including provisional versions of documents to be issued later in othe r series.
