Synopsis (short abstract) The FAO/TCF workshop, held in Mongolia from 7 - 13 October 2015, was attended by government officials and representatives of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, universities, the Eg River Hydropower Project Unit, the private sector and the Taimen Conservation Fund. Classroom sessions provided a broad overview of the background and theoretical aspects of the isotope analysis. Practical field work pertained to identifying and characterizing relevant sampling sites, sampling of fish and extracting a nd preserving of hard structures. Also water samples were taken. State-of-the-art knowledge concerning the isotope analysis in fish hard parts was presented to raise awareness of the benefits of this technique for the characterization of fish migration and feeding behaviour, and to stimulate informed discussions about fish migrations, fish protection, aquatic habitat and living aquatic resources management, and related issues in view of an improved integrated basin management. Local aquatic envi ronmental issues, potential human-induced threats to the aquatic environment, and especially actual and potential impacts on fish and fisheries in the Eg/Selenge catchment, were scrutinised. Potential approaches based on science were discussed. There was agreement that further aquatic environmental studies would be beneficial to better understand river-related processes and potential implications of planned measures in the Eg/Selenge basin.

    Tropical animal feeding - A manual for research workers 1995
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The aim of this manual, a rewritten and greatly extended version of the 1986 edition, is to provide practical guidance to researchers committed to promoting the better use of tropical feed resources in sustainable livestock systems. The emphasis is on appropriate technologies for small farmers in developing countries. The first part deals with the principles of non-ruminant and ruminant nutrition, the identification of feed resources and their utilization. Various practices are described f or improving the use of natural renewable resources. Essential methods that should assist the research worker in conducting useful and cost-effective research are given in detail, for design and analysis of experiments, biological and chemical analysis, animal feeding trials, on-farm research, guidelines for the evaluation of feed resources and presentation of research results. A full list of references is provided.

    Manual of Fisheries Science Part 2 - Methods of Resource Investigation and their Application 1974
    Also available in:
    This document was produced in a provisional version solely for use as background documentation at the FAO/DANIDA Training Centre in the Methodology of Fisheries Science held in Frederikshavn, Denmark from 28 August to 22 September 1972. On the basis of the experience gained in using it as training material it has been revised and edited with a view to circulating it for comment by international workers in this field. This revised version will be used at the second FAO/ DANIDA Training Centre in the Methodology of Fisheries Science (Biology) to be held in Kelibia, Tunisia, from 29 July to 23 August 1974. Comments and criticisms are welcomed and should be addressed to the Aquatic Resources Survey and Evaluation Service, Fishery Resources and Environment Division, FAO, Rome.

    The Regional Workshop convened by M S Swaminathan Research Foundation in collaboration with the Bay of Bengal Programme of FAO (BOBP) is designed to address these issues and to develop an action plan for saving the remaining coral reefs in the SAARC region. Since its establishment in 1989, M S S R F has given priority attention to the conservation and sustainable use of Coastal Mangrove ecosystems. In many areas, Mangroves, sea grass meadows and coral reefs constitute an integrated ecosystem. Th e Gulf of Mannar Biosphere Reserve represents one such integrated ecosystem. Currently, a detailed action plan is being prepared with assistance from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) for preserving for posterity the biological wealth of the Gulf of Mannar region.
