Book (series)Technical reportDepleted marine resources: an approach to quantification based on the FAO capture database. 2004
Also available in:
No results found.The 2002 United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development called for species whose catches had been drastically depleted to be restored to health within 2015. An approach is proposed here to a preliminary classification, based solely on information included in the FAO capture database. Three criteria were used to filter catch data: the trend in recent years, the long-term trend, and the extent of decline in catches over the long term. These were applied sequentially to the data series for species items by fishing area recorded in the FAO capture database. About ten percent of the species items examined matched the selecting criteria. This is the same proportion of stocks classified as “depleted” by FAO based on assessment data although there are differences in the species identified. Reasons for these discrepancies are discussed. The species groups with the highest percentages of species matching the three criteria were Gadiformes, molluscs (excluding cephalopods) and miscellan eous coastal and demersal fishes. Pelagic fishes (including Clupeoids) and crustaceans showed low percentages of depleted resources. Species considered depleted by this procedure are listed by FAO fishing area. -

Also available in:
No results found.This paper provides a summary of the fisheries situation in the South Pacific. Section A of the paper discusses the role of fisheries in the economy and society of the region, situations and trends within the fisheries sector and the prevailing policy and institutional framework. In Section B important technical and policy issues are addressed, including fish consumption and nutrition, institutional strengthening and capacity building, regional fisheries cooperation and relations with distant-wa ter fishing nations, problems facing fishery management organizations and arrangements, traditional fisheries management practice, development and strengthening of national fishing and processing industries, improved international marketing for fish and fisheries products, fisheries monitoring, control and surveillance, fishing on the high seas, management of excess fishing capacity, discards, applied fisheries research and technology transfer, promotion of sustainable aquaculture, national and regional development assistance for the fisheries sector, rehabilitation of inshore fisheries and environmental concerns. Finally, Section C of the paper provides an outlook for the issues reviewed in the preceding section. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe state of world fisheries and aquaculture - 1994 (SOFIA) 1995This report reviews the state of world fisheries and aquaculture in 1994, with particular attention to developments since 1989. Following consideration of world fish production and growth in demand for fish, marine fisheries production and issues are addressed in detail. Problems of fleet overcapacity and overinvestment in marine capture fisheries, leading to an unsustainable impact on resources, are highlighted. An analysis of inland capture fisheries and aquaculture is presented, noting that aquaculture will be expected to play a greater role in the food security equation in future. Fish utilization and the fish trade are reviewed. The report also provides a regional analysis of supply and demand prospects. It ends with an outlook on the prospects of satisfying global demand for food fish to the year 2010.

Developpement de la Peche du Lac de Kossou, Cote d'Ivoire
1978Also available in:
No results found.Ce rapport présente les résultats obtenus dans le lac de Kossou, côte d'Ivoire, avec quatre formules alimentaires adaptées à l'élevage en cage de T. nilotica. La composition de l'aliment de base est la suivante : Farine de riz : 65 % ; tourteaux d'arachide : 18% remoulage de blé : 12 % ; farine de poissons : 4 % ; et coquillages : 1 % . Le taux de conversion moyen obtenu est de 2,32 kg d' aliment/kg de poissons produits. Celui-ci indique que le T. nilotica économise les besoins en protéine par une haute teneur d'énergie dans l'aliment. L'addition d'un complexe de vitamines à cette dernière formule n'est pas necessaire. Il semble qu'il y a suffisamment de ces éléments nutritifs présents dans l'aliment de base et le milieu de la cage. L' augmentation du pourcentage de farine de poissons à 8 % a légèrement amélioré le taux de conversion (2,19). La subtitution du tourteau d'arachide par le tourteau de coton a beaucoup diminué le prix de l'aliment sans avoir un effet sur l'élevage. Les périodes de circulation totale des eaux du lac ont entrainé une mauvaise influence sur les résultats. La basse teneur en oxygène dissous, l'augmentation du taux de respiration subsequent et le manque de plusieurs jours d'alimentation a diminué le rendement de quelques essais (formule vitaminique). Il est conclu que la teneur en protéine brute devrait être augmentée de 25 à 30 % pour rendre l'élevage plus efficace. Du point de vue économique, cette protéine est de sources végétales (tourt eaux de coton) mais un certain pourcentage doit venir de sources animales (farine de poissons). Le reste de l'aliment peut se composer d'hydrates de carbone comme source d'énergie. Du point de vue économique, les frais de l'alimentation avec les granulés complets revient à environ 100 F CFA/kg de poissons produits, par rapport à un prix de vente actuel de plus de 200 F CFA/kg de tilapia, nous pouvons dire que cette alimentation est rentable. -
BookletTechnical briefThe Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems
Overview
2025Young people stand at the heart of a rapidly changing world. They have the vision, energy and entrepreneurial spirit to find new and innovative ways to cultivate, create, package and transport the food we all need. If adequately nourished, educated, equipped with resources and involved in decision-making, young people can drive economic transformation and global prosperity. This brief presents the key messages and findings from the FAO report The Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems – the most comprehensive evidence-based analysis of youth engagement in agrifood systems to date. It highlights both the opportunities available to young people and the structural barriers they face, offering actionable recommendations for policymakers and development actors. The aim is to support more equitable and sustainable agrifood systems, where rural youth are not only beneficiaries but also drivers of change. -

No results found.The Protocol of 8-9 July 1946 relative to the dissolution of the International Institute of Agriculture, transferred the functions and assets of the said Institute to FAO. Of these assets, the Library is unquestionably the most outstanding and is a lasting record of the Institute's work and its achievement in the field of agriculture. This catalogue will undoubtedly contribute towards a better knowledge of this international Library. This volume in its present form, represents the systematic card-index, by subject of the Brussels Decimal Classification, in French and English, and it's supplemented by the general alphabetical index of authors.
