Book (stand-alone)BulletinReport of the Regional Workshop on Approaches to Reducing Shrimp Trawl Bycatch in the Western Indian Ocean. Mombasa, Kenya, 13-15 April 2003 2004
Also available in:
No results found.The wokshop was jointly organized by the FAO Fishery Industries Division, the Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI) in Mombasa (Kenya) and the Oceanographic Research Institute in Durban (South Africa), and was hosted by KMFRI. Twenty-nine participants from five countries (Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Nigeria and South Africa) attended the workshop. The participants represented national fisheries administrations, non-governmental organizations and scientific institutions. During the workshop, participants discussed existing bycatch policy and legislations, the state of bycatch knowledge and impacts of bycatch, as well as methods for reducing bycatch or improving bycatch utilization in their respective countries. The participants recommended the use of bycatch reduction devices (BRDs) in the region, to harmonize the data collection among the countries and the improved utilization of bycatch. -
ProjectProgramme / project reportTrials Of Two-Boat Bottom Trawling In Bangladesh - BOBP/WP/13 1982
Also available in:
No results found.This document describes the rationale, mechanics and findings of experiments with two-boat bottom trawis in Bangladesh. The experiments were carried out between October 1980 and March 1981 near Chittagong in cooperation with the Swedish Free Mission and the Kalidaha Fishing Project of CAR ITAS. The trials yielded the conclusion that while trawling with two-boat high-opening trawis for the capture of demersal and semi-pelagic resources is technically feasible, its commercial viability is sti ll to be ascertained. It is recommended that the trials should be continued during next winter over a wider geographical area. The Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock, Bangladesh, participated in the two-boat trawl project as a cooperating agency. The two-boat bottom trawl experiments are an activity of the Programme for the Development of Small-Scale Fisheries in the Bay of Bengal, referred to in brief as the Bay of Bengal Programme. This is a regional FAO programme that seeks to develop and demonstrate appropriate technologies and methodologies in many areas of small-scale fisheries-such as craft, gear, fishing methods and utilisation and coastal aquaculture. The programme’s goals are to improve the conditions of small-scale fisherfolk and the supply of fish from the small-scale sector in five countries that border the Bay of Bengal — Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. -

Book (series)Technical studyDiagnosis of aquaculture employment governance in selected African countries 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Many countries are promoting aquaculture as one of the prime drivers of the rural economy and the employment of women and youth. However, the industry is criticized for inadequately representing the needs of workers. Most African countries have shown a willingness to advance industry goals through domestic programme planning and facilitating foreign direct investment.However, there is a need for coherent strategies for employment governance. Hence, immediate change is required to modify the governance of aquaculture employment to foster industrial transformation.The objective of this research is to enhance understanding of the governance of aquaculture employment in ten African countries (Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Uganda and Zambia) and to determine their level of compliance with existing employment legislation in those countries. The ultimate goal is to learn from both positive and negative lessons and propose possible corrective measures for substandard practices in order to improve the public perception of aquaculture.The study seeks to evaluate existing employment governance in the aquaculture industry and to use the acquired knowledge to inform policymakers and industry leaders on the status of governance in employment. -

Book (series)Technical reportRegional review on status and trends in aquaculture development in sub-Saharan Africa – 2020 2022
Also available in:
No results found.This review provides an overview of the status, trends, challenges and projections for aquaculture in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and evaluates the major trends during previous five years. While the sector still faces various internal and external challenges, the inherent natural potential of the region and rapidly increasing demand for fish has resulted in increased prioritization of aquaculture in almost all SSA countries and the African Union and subsidiary bodies have given special attention to the sector development. In order to realize its full potential, the SSA region needs to address a combination of overarching factors limiting aquaculture development so far, such as ineffective development approaches, weak governance frameworks, underdeveloped value chains and low availability as well as the high cost of key production inputs. Strengthened value chains for tilapia and catfish, promotion of new species, improved biosecurity, continued development of certification and associated harmonized best practices, improved information systems and innovations to address climate-change related impacts are some of the matters to be addressed. Financial institutions and private sector (national and international) have equally started investing, even though in the global picture such interventions may seem negligible, which makes the continent to call for more and higher levels technical and financial assistance from international partners. Upscale the status of production and productivity via healthy investments would help the sector to generate a variety of benefits including food security, livelihoods, employment, domestic and intra-regional markets, foreign currency income and other socio-economic benefits.
