Book (stand-alone)Assessing water availability and economic, social and nutritional contributions from inland capture fisheries and aquaculture 2016
Also available in:
No results found.This study provides an initial indicator-based framework for understanding the economic, social and nutritional contributions of inland capture fisheries and aquaculture and their links to available water resources. Fourteen indicators covering environmental, economic, social and nutritional dimensions of inland fisheries and aquaculture are identified and tested in eighteen African and Asian countries with significant inland fish production. Complexities in defining and estimating the indicator s are discussed, and initial results based on currently available data are presented to identify gaps and future steps to improve knowledge. The study discusses the potential use of these indicators as a baseline for national sectoral planning and management as a means to inform intersectoral water management and, in the face of climate change and changing water availability, as inputs into modelling the potential economic, social and nutritional losses and opportunities to society stemming thro ugh impacts in the inland fisheries sector. -
Book (series)EIFAC - Report of the Symposium on Interactions between Social, Economic and Ecological Objectives of Inland Commercial and Recreational Fisheries and Aquaculture. Antalya, Turkey, 21–24 May 2008.
held in connection with the European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission
2008Also available in:
No results found.The Symposium on Interactions between Social, Economic and Ecological Objectives of Inland Commercial and Recreational Fisheries and Aquaculture, was organized in conjunction with the twenty-fifth session of the European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission (EIFAC) in Antalya, Turkey, from 21 to 24 May 2008. The symposium was attended by 255 participants from 26 countries. The symposium programme comprised 57 oral presentations and 24 posters. The symposium made considerable progress t owards understanding the interactions between ecological/environmental and socio-economic/governance objectives for fisheries and aquaculture. There was a broad recognition that inland fisheries and aquaculture need to shift from a sectoral view where they are treated in isolation to an integrated, multidisciplinary systems view. The symposium provided a number of clear and comprehensive conclusions and recommendations to the twenty-fifth session of EIFAC for follow-up by the appropria te responsible bodies. -
Book (series)A review of governance and tenure in inland capture fisheries and aquaculture systems of India 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Being able to access fish and other aquatic resources in inland waters for nutrition and food security is essential for rural populations in many developing countries and inland fisheries contribute significantly to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security, and the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication, are tools allowing governments to strengthen governance and develop policies that secure equitable distribution of benefits and empower stakeholders. This document examines the tenure systems, rights and governance issues in the vast, diverse and complex inland fisheries of India. The objective is to highlight how inland fisheries have been changing and the associated challenges for governance and tenure. The legal and policy contexts, within which fishing in rivers, wetlands and estuaries takes place, are described as well as the diversity of fishing activities and practices in the different environments found in India, which include inland capture fisheries, culture-based fisheries and freshwater aquaculture systems. Multiple drivers of change that affect inland fisheries are discussed from within the fisheries sector and from wider social, economic and environmental contexts. The ways in which formal and informal institutional arrangements and customary access regimes interact with each other are highlighted. The potential outcomes of institutional change and emerging policies for ecological sustainability, economic equity and social justice are discussed, with a focus on capture fisheries within India’s inland fisheries.
