It also includes training approaches and tips and provides examples of work that results from putting the training into praxis. Secondly, for motivated and commited field workers, the manual could provide a self-instruction aid which helps them to think through and put various approaches into practise. The approach is aimed at addressi ng the needs of the whole fishing community either directly through action or indirectly through facilitating action by other agencies and workers. -

ProjectManual / guideA Manual for Operating a Small-scale Recirculation Fresh water Prawn Hatchery - BOBP/MAG/13 1993
Also available in:
No results found.in Potiya, near Chittagong, Bangladesh, is written for those interested is establishing a small-scale inland freshwater prawn hatchery using the clear water method. It is assumed that the reader has some basic knowledge of aquatic biology, but is not necessarily a degree holder in the subject. The method described is based on the use of brine obtained from salt pans. The brine is diluted with well or surface water to make up the rearing water. Such technology is widely used in commercial hatcher ies in Thailand. As rifle is not always available, a simple biofilter, for recirculation of the water, is incorporated in the tank design. The biofilter greatly reduces, or eliminates, the need for water changes during the rearing cycle. The hatchery system described consists of larvae rearing tanks, mixing and brine storage tanks, Artemia incubators and supporting mechanical equipment. Recirculation systems are becoming increasingly popular and have now been shown to give consistent product ion of quality post-larvae. All the necessary details for setting up such a simple system are included in this manual, which is also profusely illustrated to make what is described in the text clearer.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
