Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSmall-scale Oyster Culture on the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia - BOBP/REP/63 1993
Also available in:
No results found.This paper describes small-scale oyster culture trials carried out in the states of Kedah and Perak on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Rafts and longlines were found to be economically viable and the technology was transferred to fishermen. Spat of the slipper oyster, Crassostrea iredalei, were transplanted from the east coast of peninsular Malaysia to the west coast sites. Small-scale depuration units were established at farm sites and a series of market promotions successfully un dertaken. Hatchery seed production and remote setting were done by biologists and staff of the Fisheries Research Institute with assistance from temporarily hired field biologists. Artificial spat production was necessary to supplement short supplies of wild spat. Acknowledgement is due to the Director General of Fisheries, Malaysia, Dato Shahrom bin Haji Abdul Majid, for his kind support and permission to publish this paper. Thanks are also due to the Director of Research, Mr. Ong K ah Sin, for his guidance and encouragement, and to Messrs. Ng Fong Oon and Kamal Zaman for their contributions. The trials were undertaken from 1988 till mid-1993 as a BOBP subproject under the regional project “Small- scale Fisherfolk Communities in the Bay of Bengal” (GCP/RAS/ll8/MUL) funded by DANIDA (Danish International Development Assistance) and SIDA (Swedish International Development Authority). -
Book (series)Technical studyInstallation and operation of a modular bivalve hatchery. (Printed version contains CD-ROM) 2007
Also available in:
No results found.Limiting factors such as minimal capital investment, lack of technical support or expertise and available physical space may put severe restrictions on setting up a hatchery. Not all investors have the means or the will to take the risk to support a large commercial aquaculture operation without substantial proof of its production capacity. For these reasons, the setup of an inexpensive modular hatchery may be a simpler option to the start-up of a large commercial operation, or may be sufficient to the needs of a smaller operation. This manual was written for those interested in establishing a bivalve hatchery, with minimal experience in this activity, limited technical support and restricted access to information. The manual stands as an entity, providing not only the technicalities of setting up and operating a hatchery, but also makes some of the scientific background, deemed useful to the aquaculturist, readily accessible. The manual is divided into chapters for each stage of reari ng: broodstock conditioning, algal culture, hatchery, nursery, growout and economic considerations. The first five chapters include both the physical requirements and culture considerations and procedures for the relevant rearing stage. The final chapter on economic considerations provides an insight into the labour involved for each stage of production, along with a list of equipment and supplies, which may be used as a template for a new installation. -

No results found.Abalone can be considered as one of the gastropods that have a high potential for commercial exploitation in the Asia-Pacific region. They command a high price and are highly relished in a number of Asian countries, particularly in China, Japan, and the Koreas. In these countries, the technology for breeding and culturing abalone are now relatively advanced. However, in the sub-tropical and tropical countries, breeding work is generally confined to laboratory trials, and the little production th at has been reported mostly come from gathering. There are in these countries suitable species that have a good economic potential for commercial breeding and culture. This has been shown in surveys conducted in Thailand and reports of limited production from the Philippines, India, Indonesia and the other tropical countries in the region. Thus, the dissemination of the breeding and culture technology already well developed and routinely practiced in the northern East Asian countries would con tribute to the expansion of the development of abalone culture in the whole region. It is towards this objective that the training course on the breeding and culture of abalone was planned and designed. The course was proposed by the National Coordinators of the UNDP/FAO Regional Seafarming Development and Demonstration Project (RAS/86/024, presently RAS/90/002). It is to be implemented by the Government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) through its Shallow Seafarming Researc h Institute in Kosong, which is a nodal centre of the Seafarming Project and now part of the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia and the Pacific. The Institute is also being strengthened by an UNDP/FAO assistance project. The staff of the Institute wrote this training manual. It was edited and produced by the staff of the Seafarming Project office in Bangkok.

Book (series)Technical studyCultivo de bivalvos en criadero. Un manual práctico 2006Este manual ofrece una síntesis de las metodologías actuales de cultivo intensivo de moluscos bivalvos en criadero, reuniendo tanto las semejanzas como las diferencias de las estrategias empleadas en diferentes zonas climáticas para el cultivo de almejas, ostras y vieiras. El texto también describe todos los aspectos del proceso de cultivo, además de las consideraciones básicas a la hora de elegir un emplazamiento para el criadero y de diseñar unas instalaciones adecuadas. Se ofrece in formación sobre el manejo de larvas en telecaptación, una vez acabada la fase en criadero, así como el manejo de la semilla tanto en los viveros en tierra como en las unidades de producción en el mar. Este documento pretende servir de ayuda tanto a los técnicos que empiezan en este campo como a los empresarios que buscan oportunidades de inversión en el cultivo de bivalvos.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
