No results found.In rural areas of Africa, animal protein is often in short supply and therefore lacking in the diet. Fish is a high-protein and highly appreciated food item, but fresh fish is frequently difficult to obtain. The importance of fish and other aquatic products is widely recognized, and development programmes have devoted much effort to stimulating increased production of these products. Many of these efforts have targeted aquaculture, including culture-based fisheries, as a means of increasing fish availability. -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Biotechnology in forest tree improvement with special reference to developing countries 1994
Also available in:
This document reports on the present state and future potential of biotechnologies in forest tree breeding, with special reference to their application in developing countries. It concludes that new technologies offer possibilities that will greatly facilitate the work of the tree breeder in the future, but stresses that potential gains can only be realized if the technologies are based on thorough biological, genetic and silvicultural knowledge of concerned species and applied within existing, sound tree-improvement programmes. -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)Aquaculture Economics in Developing Countries: Regional Assessments and an Annotated Bibliography 1997
Also available in:
No results found.As aquaculture expands in importance globally, there is an increasing need for corresponding economic information, to aid managers, policy-makers and planners. This document seeks to provide a review of the current state of this aquaculture economics information and research base in developing countries, based on a comprehensive compilation of available literature on the subject. A broad integrated view is adopted, encompassing micro- and macro-economics, market analysis, socio-economics and env ironmental economics, the relationship with non-aquaculture economic activities (household economics), as well as relevant socio-cultural considerations. The circular contains two principal components. First, there is a set of regional assessments (Africa and the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific) reviewing the economics of aquaculture activity, the state of the art in aquaculture economics research, and research priorities for the future, on a region-by-region b asis. Second, a set of annotated bibliographies is provided, one for each of the three regions, together with a bibliography of general references. In total, 1 154 references are included: 77 General; 223 for Africa and the Middle East; 133 for Latin America and the Caribbean; and 721 for Asia and the Pacific. Each bibliography documents available literature on the economics of aquaculture systems, emphasizing the most recent literature but also including older literature as relevant to the curr ent state of aquaculture. All bibliographies are indexed according to country, aquatic species, production environment, production system and eight economic subject areas.
