Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideIdentification guide to the mesopelagic fishes of the central and south east Atlantic Ocean 2020
Also available in:
No results found.This identification guide includes 552 species of mesopelagic fishes (i.e. those fishes residing primarily between 200-1000 m depth during daytime) that are known to occur in the central and south east Atlantic Ocean. Fully illustrated dichotomous keys to all taxa are provided. Species are treated in detail, with accounts including the scientific name, FAO common name in English (where available), other useful characters, size, a distribution map, and one or more illustrations. To facilitate even further the identification of the taxa, captions and arrows are added to help users quickly locate their key morphological features. The guide is intended for both specialists, and nonspecialists who have a working knowledge of ichthyology. -
Book (series)Technical bookEuropean eel in the Mediterranean Sea
Outcomes of the GFCM research programme
2023Also available in:
No results found.European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is a temperate, catadromous species with a wide distribution range that includes coastal, transitional and inland waters of Europe and the wider Mediterranean region. The unique and still not fully understood life cycle of this migratory species is assumed to begin with spawning in the Sargasso Sea in the North Atlantic, after which oceanic larvae (leptocephali) are transported by currents across the Atlantic Ocean to the coasts of the species’ distribution range, where they metamorphose into glass eels that recruit to continental waters. Here, they live and grow until sexual maturity, which triggers their return to the Sargasso Sea. European eel stocks have been affected by numerous natural or human induced pressures including fishing and habitat-related impacts. In recent decades, this species has undergone a dramatic decline in abundance throughout its distribution range due to these causes. This publication compiles and presents the results of the analyses carried out under the umbrella of the GFCM Research programme on European eel, which was conducted from 2020 to 2022 as a concerted action joining the forces of ongoing work by research institutes, universities, and the relevant administrations of nine partner countries (Algeria, Albania, Egypt, France, Greece, Italy, Spain, Tunisia and Türkiye). The overall objective of the work carried out under the research programme was to provide the scientific basis for advice on management measures towards the recovery of the European eel population, using the evidence collected as a foundation for action tailored to the Mediterranean Sea. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileRinderpest and its eradication 2022
Also available in:
No results found.This book tells the story of rinderpest and its eradication. The focus is on the international coordination that came together after the Second World War in the confident belief that, with vaccines available, the eradication of rinderpest was a practical possibility. In both Africa and South Asia, beginning in the 1960s, there was an initial dramatic success through the coordinated vaccination of cattle across the continents. Unfortunately, follow-up measures could not prevent the return of epidemic rinderpest, albeit to a lesser extent. Chastened by failure, the international community refocused with renewed energy to achieve eradication. The vaccination programmes broadened to reflect a multidisciplinary approach to disease eradication. FAO and the OIE, together with international aid agencies, coordinated policy with the nation states and guided implementation of the era¬dication programmes until success was achieved.
