Book (stand-alone)Technical reportFishing capacity management and illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing in Asia 2007
Also available in:
No results found.The history of exploitation of wild fish stocks in Asia has been one of sequential overexploitation, open access fisheries and low profitability. Despite this history, there has been a growing recognition in recent years of the need to manage fish stocks for long-term sustainability. Some progress has been reported in attempting to assess fishing capacity in major fisheries and the number of specific capacity reduction programmes undertaken in the region has increased. However, the effectivenes s of these initiatives on a regional scale is not yet apparent since fishing capacity in both industrial scale and small-scale fisheries has continued to rise in the region and is now, on average, 12.5 percent above 2002 levels. At the same time, production has decreased. Many countries lack policy and operational tools for fisheries management. Methods for measuring fishing capacity, such as vessel licensing systems or census data, and catch and effort data systems, are often poorly develope d. Moreover, monitoring, control and surveillance capabilities are generally inadequate. Based on responses to questionnaires sent to 15 countries in the region as well as previously available information, this regional synthesis provides useful background material for identifying the major issues related to management of fishing capacity and illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing at both national and regional levels. -
Book (series)Technical reportReport of the FAO Regional Workshop on the Elaboration of National Plans of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing – Southeast Asia Subregion. Penang, Malaysia, 10–14 October 2004 2005

No results found.This document contains the report of, and some of the papers presented at, the FAO Regional Workshop on the Elaboration of National Plans of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing – Southeast Asia Subregion which was held at Penang, Malaysia, from 10 to 14 October 2004. The purpose of the Workshop was to assist countries in Southeast Asia, People's Republic of China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, to develop capacity so that they would b e better placed to elaborate National Plans of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (NPOAs–IUU). The Workshop addressed the 2001 International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA–IUU) in detail and the Technical Guidelines that have been developed to support the implementation of the IPOA–IUU; concepts of planning and the elaboration of action plans; a case study for the development of a NP OA–IUU; decision-making about IUU fishing and skills enhancement through the identification of key issues relating to NPOAs–IUU, the primary vehicle by which the IPOA–IUU will be implemented by countries. Working groups were formed to encourage maximum participation in the Workshop. A review of the major IUU fishing problems in the region and their possible solutions were discussed. -
Book (series)Technical reportInternational action and responses by regional fishery bodies or arrangements to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing 2004
Also available in:
No results found.The International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA-IUU) requires that FAO should further investigate the issue of IUU fishing. This Circular provides a global perspective on initiatives at the international level and by regional fishery bodies or arrangements (RFBs) to combat IUU fishing. This Circular reviews and comparatively analyses responses and action taken by RFBs to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing. It is based on r esponses by RFBs to a questionnaire, and identifies progress in the implementation of the IPOA-IUU. It also analyses common trends and challenges for RFBs in combating IUU fishing, noting common actions and approaches to solutions, as well as any relevant impact on IUU fishing. ...more.

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAppropriate food packaging solutions for developing countries 2014The study was undertaken to serve as a basis for the international congress Save Food!, taking place from 16 to 17 May 2011, at the international packaging industry fair Interpack2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Save Food! has been co organized by Interpack2011 and FAO, aiming to raise awareness on global food losses and waste. In addition, Save Food! brings to the attention of the international packaging industry the constraints faced by the small- and medium-scale food processing industries in dev eloping countries to obtain access to adequate packaging materials which are economically feasible. This revised edition, dated 2014, contains a new section on investment opportunities in developing countries (paragraph 3.7).

Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the Symposium on Impacts on Fishing on the Environment - ICES-FAO Working Group on Fishing Technology and Fish Behaviour. Bangkok, Thailand 6-10 May 2013 2015
Also available in:
No results found.This document contains the report of the Symposium on Impacts of Fishing on the Environment arranged by the ICES-FAO Working Group on Fishing Technology and Fish Behaviour (WGFTFB) held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 6 to 10 May 2013. The Symposium was attended by more than 130 fisheries experts from 25 countries, and it provided an opportunity for fishing technologists and others from ICES member countries to exchange knowledge and ideas with contemporaries from around the world, especially Asia. T he symposium comprised three one-day sessions: (i) low-impact and fuel-efficient fishing gear (LIFE); (ii) use of artificial light as a stimulus on fish behaviour in fish capture (LIGHT); and (iii) selectivity of trawls in multispecies/crustacean fisheries (SHRIMP). This report summarizes the presentations of the Symposium and concludes the main discussions. This report also summarizes presentations from the open session of the annual WGFTFB meeting.
