No results found.During the year of the author's assignment at the Bhairawa Fishery Development Centre about 1 117 000 fingerlings were produced; this is the highest figure obtained. Unfortunately, the water supply was insufficient; otherwise the production of fish fingerlings would have been higher. With regard to integrated fish culture farming, demonstrations of fish-cum-pig and fish-cum-duck culture were set up at the Government fish farm. The results were good, the fish production ranging from 1 845.56 to 2 443.34 kg/ha/yr. At present farmers show great interest in these activities. Previously, integrated fish farming was not accepted by them due to high capital investment and lack of experience. However, guidance in this respect was given to the farmers during in-service training conducted by the project. After participating in the training courses many have started farming fish integrated with livestock. In Pokhara, the work mainly involved cage fish culture; the number of cage owners increase d from 13 in 1978 to 63 in 1979. The boatbuilding activities have also progressed well. The number of boats built increased from 51 in 1978 to 63 in 1979. Through in-service training, cage owners from various lakes were instructed in cage fish culture, and 16 US volunteers and 61 farmers from the villages around Bhairawa were trained in various aspects of fish culture. -

Also available in:
No results found.FAO assigned a master boatbuilder to a project in Nepal for one year from November 1976 to October 1977 in order to set up and operate a boatbuilding training programme for the three lakes in the Pokhara region with the facilities on Lake Phewa. The purpose was to replace the existing dugout canoes with boats more suitable for fishing. The expert designed and constructed four different types of subsistence boats. A total of 21 boats was build during the expert's stay. Practical training was c arried on from the beginning relying upon people from near the lakes for trainees. Of the boats built by the project six were kept for the Fisheries Project and one was allocated to the Department of Tourism. The remaining boats were sold to the local people. The chief recommendation is that training should continue for people from around the lakes and possibly future recruitment can include trainees from other areas of Nepal. Arrangements should also be made for local people to get low co st loans to finance the purchase of these boats. -

Also available in:
No results found.Duck raising and fish-cum-duck farming are part of the Integrated Fishery and Fish Culture Development Project in Nepal. Improved strains of ducks have been introduced into the country and their production commercially and by the rural population is increasing rapidly, in turn increasing the demand for ducklings from the Government Fisheries Development Centres. Observations were made at the three centres and recommendations were made for improvements to present practices to increase productio n of duck eggs and ducklings. Training in duck husbandry was also given to technicians currently involved in this field. This report contains detailed information, with illustrations, of improved types of duck housing facilities, using mostly local materials, and procedures for selection, care and management of eggs, ducklings and breeding ducks and their distribution. Advantages and comparative costs of different breeds of ducks are analysed and introduction of an additional breed of duck i s suggested. Centralized locations for breeding and distribution of ducklings is recommended and the facilities needed are described. Financial and technical assistance is recommended to encourage the private sector to enter into duckling or meat-duck production on a small commercial scale. Other schemes for commercial duck raising are described and costs are given for buildings, feeding and other requirements. The appendixes list feeding requirements and costs of egg, duckling and meat-duck pro duction, as well as cost of facilities.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
