MeetingMeeting documentThe bycatch records of sharks, marine turtles and marine mammals by the Malaysian tuna longliners and the Malaysian coastal fisheries 2013
Also available in:
No results found.From 2005 to 2010 total sharks caught by Malaysian tu longliners targeting tropical tu was from 10 – 134 tons. It made up between 06-1.2% of the total catches of the tu vessels. The catch rates of sharks by these vessels greatly vary at the range of 30 – 600 kg/vessel. From 2012 to June 2013, Malaysian flag vessels shifted their target species to albacore tu. However, the sharks catch data only available from Jaury – March 2012 as the rest of the period, the sharks caught by the longline were re leased immediately into the sea. The highest catch rate of sharks was recorded in January 2012 at 600 kg/vessel. No information on catch of turtle or marine mammal were recorded by the Malaysia tu longliners. In the coastal waters, shark catch contributed only 0.2% of total annual landing and 80% were from trawlers with the major catch from over 30 nm from the shore. There are about 56 species of sharks that inhibit in Malaysian waters. The widely distributed sharks in the Malaysian waters inclu de spot-tail shark (Carcharhinus sorrah), blackspot shark (Carcharhinus sealei), Milk shark (Rhizoprionodon acutus), Scalloped hammered shark (Sphry lewini) and Sicklefin weasel shark (Hemigaleus mirostoma). Most of the catch were from trawl nets. For the conservation and manegement measures for both sharks and marine turtles species in the EEZ, Malaysia have developed the Natiol Action Plans for shark (2006) and marine turle (2005). -

BookletCorporate general interestConservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture
Safeguarding our food security
2023Also available in:
No results found.The booklet describes the importance of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) to address food insecurity, biodiversity loss, climate change adaptation, and poverty alleviation. It explains why PGRFA matter to food security and how the conservation and sustainable use of PGRFA are addressed in the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, including what guidance the International Treaty offers in its Articles 5 and 6 regarding measures and activities to be undertaken to support the conservation and sustainable use of PGRFA. The booklet also describes the four types of challenges and bottlenecks to the conservation and sustainable use of PGRFA, including legal, policy and institutional challenges; technical and scientific issues; seed distribution and marketing of landraces and farmers’ crop varieties; and resource constraints. Finally, the booklet suggests how to improve current practices to safeguard our food security, with an emphasis on the responsibility of governments and institutions; the importance of public awareness, education and engagement; the role of science, research and innovation; and the need for resources. The booklet is designed to enhance understanding and awareness of the importance of PGRFA and increase the visibility of the International Treaty on PGRFA among the various stakeholders who work in crop conservation and use in their daily activities, such as agricultural researchers, gene bank personnel, breeders and farmers as well as other interested parties, including academia, the media and the general public. -
Book (series)Technical report用于推荐食品和饲料中最大残留限量的农药残留数据提交和评估手册
JMPR - 手册 - 第三版
2018为帮助FAO农药残留评估专家统一评估程序，FAO于1997年出版了<<用于推荐食品和饲料中最大残留限量的农药残留数据提交和评估手册>>第一版。该<<手册》的第一次修订版在2002年出版，增加了1997-2009年间农药残留专家联席会议(JMPR)报告的附加内容。其后，经FAO和WHO的管理，JMPR的科学评估程序不断发展完善。本<<手册>>整合了用于评估最大残留限量（ MRLs ）、规范残留试验中值（ STMR ）和饮食上农药残留风险的所有相关信息和原则。随着残留数据评估不断发展和经验的累积，目前的<<手册>>将不断地加以修订和更新。本<<手册>>同时致力于加强与食品法典农药残留委员会 (CCPR)， 法典成员国以及CCPR其他参与方的交流，并对JMPR-FAO专家组应用的程序进行阐释。 -
BookletTechnical studyExploring the application of Artificial Intelligence for triggering drought anticipatory action: A Timor-Leste case study
Technical Working paper
2024Also available in:
No results found.This research describes the process of developing an agricultural drought-triggering methodology for anticipatory action (AA) within the context of Timor-Leste, an Indo-Pacific nation grappling with limited observation data. Drought is a severe and recurring natural hazard in Timor-Leste, significantly impacting livelihoods and exacerbating food insecurity due to the compounding effects of the climate crisis. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the methodology’s development, highlighting the collaborative establishment of an AA protocol with the government and the humanitarian community, spearheaded by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the Government of Timor-Leste. Overall, this study aims to facilitate a transition towards a preemptive approach for disaster risk management and highlight the advances of the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) moving forward.
