No results found.At its Sixteenth Session, the Committee for Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture of Africa (CIFAA) suggested that its role and performance as a Regional Fishery Body (RFB) be re-examined. This request stemmed from the increasingly poor attendance at CIFAA meetings to such a point that quorum is sometimes not reached and the performance of the Committee is adversely affected. Accordingly, the Committee created an ad hoc Working Group to make recommendations on the future role of CIFAA and a meeting w as organised on 26-27 March 2012 in Cape Town, South Africa, to discuss its proposals. This meeting concluded that the CIFAA is important to the development of aquaculture and inland fisheries in Member States but that the body needs to be reformed and its institutional set-up and procedures strengthened. The importance of political commitment from Member Governments was stressed. It was requested that the current efforts with regard to the CIFAA reform be raised at forthcoming relevant meetings and that further guidance from the Ministers in charge of fisheries and aquaculture be provided. The meeting was organized and supported financially by the NEPAD-FAO Fish Programme (NFFP). -

No results found.The regional workshop on the “Identification of Deep-sea Cartilaginous fishes of the Southeastern Atlantic Ocean” was held at the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Cape Town, South Africa, from 23 to 26 June 2015. It was attended by 15 participants from a wide range of countries and fields of expertise, including taxonomy and bio-ecology of cartilaginous fishes. The general objective of the workshop was to improve the capabilities of scientists from countries facing the South an d Central Eastern Atlantic Ocean in the identification of a range of deep-sea cartilaginous fish species caught in the region. The participants were introduced to the anatomical features and taxonomy of the orders of deep-sea cartilaginous fishes occurring in the Southeastern Atlantic Ocean, to the use of the taxonomic keys included in the reference text material (e.g. FAO Catalogues and Identification Guide) and to the methodologies of processing and identifying a selection of specimens. Moreov er, a biological data collection protocol was illustrated thus allowing for better reporting of shark specimens.
