Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideGuide for improved monitoring of anchored fish aggregating device catches and improved assessment of anchored fish aggregating device impacts on stocks in the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC) region 2025
Also available in:
No results found.This guide is mainly aimed at national/local fishery authorities and researchers involved in developing and implementing fishery data collection systems. It first describes recent efforts in improving fishery data collection systems involving aFADs in the WECAFC region, with focus on the Eastern Caribbean. It then builds on such efforts to propose a way forward that hinges on the potentially transformative power of information and communications technology (ICT) tools to address past and current data deficiencies. It is expected that the full uptake and implementation of many of the monitoring and data collection recommendations provided here will be incremental and will require a phased-in approach for adoption. -

Book (stand-alone)Corporate general interestUltra-processed foods, diet quality and human health 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The significance of industrial processing for the nature of food and the state of human health - and in particular the techniques and ingredients developed by modern food science and technology - is generally underestimated. This is evident in both national and international policies and strategies designed to improve populations' nutrition and health. Until recently it has also been neglected in epidemiological and experimental studies concerning diet, nutrition and health. This report seeks to assess the impact of ultra-processed food on diet quality and health, based on NOVA, a food classification system developed by researchers at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. -
