Book (series)Review of the state of world aquaculture 2003This document is the second review of the Fisheries Circular 886 – Review of the State of World Aquaculture. Taking into consideration various reviews and analyses of aquaculture production, development and management published by FAO over the past few years, the format of the present revision of the Circular deviates slightly from the previous format. It includes a global review of aquaculture production and production trends, brief regional production profiles based on national aquaculture sta tistics received from FAO member countries up to 2000, an outlook for aquaculture development (major issues, opportunities and challenges), a summary of the FAO inland capture statistics (1970 to 2000) compared with aquaculture production, and a section discussing issues of current importance to global aquaculture development and management.

No results found.This is a weighty report of formidable bulk and understandably so. Rarely has a Workshop in Bangladesh or anywhere else been so comprehensive in mandate or assembled such an array of fisheries expertise. Why was the workshop held? Quite simply, to give effect to Bangladesh's vision of fisheries development and management, set forth in its Perspective Development Plan for 1995-2010. That plan seeks to increase production of fish, manage and conserve fisheries resources for present and futur e generations, encourage private enterprise, increase overall economic growth, and generate employment and incomes, particularly for the rural poor and unemployed youth. These are comprehensive goals, and call for clear guidelines and strategies to address the problems and concerns of fisheries. The National Workshop on Fisheries Resources Development and Management, in Bangladesh, held 29 October-1 November, 1995, in Dhaka, sought to evolve such guidelines and strategies. The Worksh op's recommendations are wide-ranging. They relate to the management of inland fisheries, brackishwater and marine fisheries resources; the management needs of freshwater, marine and brackishwater aquaculture; integrated management of land and water; financing of all these sectors; the legal framework for fishing community development and management; the marketing of fish and fish products. In sum, the Workshop (sponsored jointly by the FAO through BOBP, and the ODA) left nothing uncovered or untouched. The report of this Workshop should therefore be a valuable document - for research and reference, and for the needs of everyone who is concerned with fisheries development and management in Bangladesh. -
Book (stand-alone)Regional Review on Status and Trends in Aquaculture Development in sub-Saharan Africa 2015 2017
Also available in:
No results found.The present regional review and synthesis for sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) provides an overview of major issues and trends in the aquaculture sector between 2004 and 2014 with emphasis on outstanding issues over the last five years. The regional review reflects development in 41countries in SSA for which production was reported to FAO in 2014. The production volume and value data have been derived from the latest FAO global aquaculture dataset 1950-2014 (FishStat). Over 40 SSA countries have adopted national environmental framework laws and national aquaculture legislation overviews (NALOs) illustrate that some countries have incorporated specific regulations to promote environmental management of aquaculture. Regulations on the use of alien species, monitoring of aquaculture activities, improvement in the implementation of environmental impact assessment (EIA), the prevention and mitigation of escapes and aquaculture zoning as a well as the application of ecosystem approach to aquaculture (EAA) deserve more attention in region. There is a need for research and technology development, in particular the development of high quality, cost effective aquafeeds designed specifically for species and life stages being grown, profitability or viability of different aquaculture production systems and subsequent development of business plans, and value-chain improvement, marketing and research to inform policy.
