DocumentSurvey of resources in the Indian Ocean and Indonesian area 1971
Also available in:
No results found.The resources of the tropical ocean derive from a number of separate ecosystems; for the present purpose there are five: the upwelling areas, offshore oceanic areas, coral seas, mangrove swamps, and coastal areas outside upwelling regions; Studies of the oceanic system lead to the conclusion that stocks of the four most valued tunas (yellowfin, bigeye, albacore, and southern bluefin) are fully exploited; other tunas and tuna-like fishes perhaps can be exploited: Spanish mackerel and especially s kipjack, whose estimated production is 100.000 tons; Coral seas are difficult to exploit, but production is likely to be high; there may be tertiary resources of Sardinella or mackerels over the whole coral area; Mangrove swamps are extensive, and their high productivity could be exploited with a variety of fish, shellfish, and crustacean cultures; the swamps need to be investigated for present resources; Upwelling areas and the associated offshore divergences are the most productive; the most p romising area for development is that off Northern Somalia and Southern Arabia, followed by the Malabar Coast and the Indonesian area. A fisheries survey should be mounted to catalogue resources of the three promising areas; surveys of pelagic resources with echo-sounders and purse-seines should be initiated all over the region but particularly in the upwelling areas. -

Book (stand-alone)FAO yearbook. Fishery statistics: Aquaculture production, 1999 / FAO annuaire. Statistiques des pêches: Production de l'aquaculture 1999 / FAO anuario. Estadisticas de pesca: Producción de acuicultura 1999 2001
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO "Yearbook of fishery statistics: Aquaculture production" is a compilation of statistics on world production of fish, crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic animals and plants produced from all culture practices. The data were formerly published yearly in FAO Fishery Circular No. 815 (and subsequent revisions up to No. 11). The statistics, in quantity and value, are presented by country or territory, species, culture environment, and year, and for various aggregations. In order to provid e complete coverage of aquaculture production statistics throughout the world, where officially reported national statistics are lacking or are considered unreliable FAO makes estimates based on the best information available.
