Synopsis (short abstract) Fish marketing advice formed an important part of the activities of a project undertaken by the Government of the Philippines with assistance from the United Nations Special Fund 1 and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The work started under the Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance in 1965/66 and was completed under the Special Fund in 1967–69. A survey of fish marketing and distribution practices in the Philippines was conducted, and recommendations made conce rning wholesale markets, landing facilities, fish auctions, transport and distribution and certain aspects of fish processing. Two harbours, Navotas and Dalahican, were suggested for immediate consideration for the construction of fishing ports. Pending decisions on further fishing harbours, increased use should be made of existing inter-island shipping ports. Wholesale and retail prices of fish at the Navotas market and Manila markets were obtained for an 11 month period in 1968/69, and the d istribution of fish from Navotas to other provinces is reported on. 1 The United Nations Special Fund and the Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance were merged to form the United Nations Development Programme on 1 January 1966. The Food and Agriculture Organization is greatly indebted to the following organization and individuals who assisted in the implementation of the project by providing information, advice and facilities:

    National Workshop on Fisheries Resources Development and Management in Bangladesh - Bay of Bengal Programme 1995

    This is a weighty report of formidable bulk and understandably so. Rarely has a Workshop in Bangladesh or anywhere else been so comprehensive in mandate or assembled such an array of fisheries expertise. Why was the workshop held? Quite simply, to give effect to Bangladesh's vision of fisheries development and management, set forth in its Perspective Development Plan for 1995-2010. That plan seeks to increase production of fish, manage and conserve fisheries resources for present and futur e generations, encourage private enterprise, increase overall economic growth, and generate employment and incomes, particularly for the rural poor and unemployed youth. These are comprehensive goals, and call for clear guidelines and strategies to address the problems and concerns of fisheries. The National Workshop on Fisheries Resources Development and Management, in Bangladesh, held 29 October-1 November, 1995, in Dhaka, sought to evolve such guidelines and strategies. The Worksh op's recommendations are wide-ranging. They relate to the management of inland fisheries, brackishwater and marine fisheries resources; the management needs of freshwater, marine and brackishwater aquaculture; integrated management of land and water; financing of all these sectors; the legal framework for fishing community development and management; the marketing of fish and fish products. In sum, the Workshop (sponsored jointly by the FAO through BOBP, and the ODA) left nothing uncovered or untouched. The report of this Workshop should therefore be a valuable document - for research and reference, and for the needs of everyone who is concerned with fisheries development and management in Bangladesh.
