    Technical study
    The use of ice on small fishing vessels 2003
    Also available in:
    The use of ice on board smaller fishing vessels is increasing. One reason for this is the decrease in near-shore fish resources that is forcing the fishermen to make longer fishing trips and to conserve the catch on board during the trip. Another reason is the increasing demand for good quality fresh fish and the globalization of the markets for these products with increased quality control. This publication describes the requirements for the use of ice (and chilled seawater) on board fishin g vessels, from small insulated containers in dugout canoes, to refrigerated tanks on bigger vessels. It also gives an overview of the different types of ice plants and the ice produced in them. Chapter 1 describes the physical changes in fish exposed to heat, and how chilling the product delays these processes. Chapter 2 gives an overview of the different types of ice and chilled seawater and how they are produced. Chapter 3 describes the installation requirements for shore-based ic e plants and how the ice is stored and handled. Chapter 4 describes the on-board handling of ice and fish, including the advantages and drawbacks of the different types of ice and chilling systems. Chapters 5 and 6 give a description of the materials used for insulation and the design of insulated containers and fish holds. Finally, in Chapter 7 some calculations are given that can be used to estimate the quantity of ice needed for a fishing trip, and the volume of the fish hold. The publication is aimed both at fishermen who want more information about the different techniques used, and at boat owners and economic agents who want to invest in the use of ice to preserve the catches.

    The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2020
    Sustainability in action
    2020
    Also available in:
    The 2020 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture has a particular focus on sustainability. This reflects a number of specific considerations. First, 2020 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (the Code). Second, several Sustainable Development Goal indicators mature in 2020. Third, FAO hosted the International Symposium on Fisheries Sustainability in late 2019, and fourth, 2020 sees the finalization of specific FAO guidelines on sustainable aquaculture growth, and on social sustainability along value chains. While Part 1 retains the format of previous editions, the structure of the rest of the publication has been revised. Part 2 opens with a special section marking the twenty fifth anniversary of the Code. It also focuses on issues coming to the fore, in particular, those related to Sustainable Development Goal 14 and its indicators for which FAO is the “custodian” agency. In addition, Part 2 covers various aspects of fisheries and aquaculture sustainability. The topics discussed range widely, from data and information systems to ocean pollution, product legality, user rights and climate change adaptation. Part 3 now forms the final part of the publication, covering projections and emerging issues such as new technologies and aquaculture biosecurity. It concludes by outlining steps towards a new vision for capture fisheries. The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience – policymakers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed everyone interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector.
