Synopsis (short abstract) This publication presents papers and discussions of the First FAO Expert Consultation on Interactions of Pacific Tuna Fisheries held in Noumea, New Caledonia from 3 to 11 December 1991. The objectives of the Consultation included: the identification and documentation of concern related to interactions among fisheries directed at tuna and tuna-like species in the Pacific, the classification of these interactions, the review of information on them and methods for their study, and the formu lation of recommendations for future research. Volume 1 contains: the Summary Report of the Consultation, a review paper on methods for studying interactions in tuna fisheries,thirteen papers presenting new methods and case studies on such interactions, and seven reviews on fisheries interactions related to individual stocks of Pacific tuna and tuna-like species. Volume 2 includes: eleven review papers on the biology, population dynamics and fisheries associated with the stocks o f Pacific tuna, which are supplemented by four additional papers on specific fisheries. The information contained herein demonstrates the potential for interactions occurring between and among the fisheries directed at tunas and tuna-like species. Empirical evidence for such interactions, however, has been available for only few fisheries, and these interactions have been quantified for even fewer fisheries. It is unclear whether interactions are insignificant among fisheries directed at t una and tuna-like species or whether scientists are unable to detect these interactions possibly due to various changes to fisheries and resources, resulting in a too-variable background which conceals the effects of interactions.

    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.

    Interactive mechanisms for small-scale fisheries management: Report of the regional consultation 2002
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This document is a report of the proceedings and compilation of the papers presented at the regional consultation on interactive mechanisms for small-scale fisheries management, which was held in Bangkok, Thailand in November 2001. The meeting identifies constraints and responsibilities in decentralized small-scale fisheries management and offers practical solutions to the social, economic, environmental and legal constraints to local fisheries management. The fisheries sector has grown dramatic ally in Asia over the past three decades and the region is now a main supplier to the global fish market. However, the impressive growth has been accompanied by serious challenges in the form of over-exploitation of coastal resources. Country papers included in the publication examine national experiences in small-scale fisheries management in Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. Separate papers provide regional perspectives on the issue while ex perience papers report on the working of small-scale fisheries management projects in the region.
