Book (series)Enabling grey literature discovery to benefit aquatic science, fisheries and aquaculture – 25 September 2019, Terengganu, Malaysia 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Grey literature, which includes policy reports, technical guidelines and dissertations and theses, is produced by many actors within aquatic sciences, fisheries and aquaculture. Many hours of research go into producing these documents, often with the purpose of solving particular environmental, species or socio-economic problems. Whilst the nature of the problem tackled by much grey literature is focused on a specific problem in a specific area, its lessons can often be applied to similar problems or environments around the world. What prevents this taking place is that grey literature can be hard to access – due to the way it is produced and stored, grey literature can often be stored offline, or on institutional websites where it is difficult to access using internet search engines or databases. -
ProjectSelected abstracts of basic references and current literature in fisheries economics. 1989
Also available in:
No results found.The IFIP project started in January 1989 with the main objective of promoting a more effective and rational exploitation of the fisheries resources of major water bodies of Eastern, Central and Southern Africa. The project is executed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for a duration of four years. There are eleven countries and three Intergovernmental organizations participating in the project: Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Zaire, Zimbabwe, The Communaute'Economique des Pays des Grands Lacs (CEPGL), The Preferential Trade Area for Eastern and Southern African States (PTA) and the Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC). The immediate objectives of the project are: (i) to strengthen regional collaboration for the rational development and management. of inland fisheries, particularly with respect to shared water bodies; (ii) to provide advisory services and assist Governments in sectoral and project. planning; (iii) to strengthen technical capabilities through training; and (iv) to establish a regional information base. The abstracts contained in the present document are intended to be o- use to fishery researchers and administrators who wish to keep abreast of basic references and current literature that have been published over the last five years on the subject of fisherie_s economics. Emphasis was put on relatively theoretical documents and relevant case studies. The document was prepared by Mr. C.E. Bean under a special service agreement with the IFIP project and further expanded by project staff, Mr. Bean is currently with the Department of Resource Economics at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, Rhode Island, USA. -
Book (series)Valuation of marine and estuarine coastal ecosystem services in the Canary Current large marine ecosystem region / Évaluation des services écosystémiques marins côtiers et estuariens dans la région du grand écosystème marin du courant des Canaries 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Ecosystem valuation is a process that assigns a monetary value to the benefits that are provided by an ecosystem and its ecosystem services. This study carries out the economic valuation of marine and estuarine coastal ecosystem services in the Canary Current Marine Ecosystem (CCLME). The CCLME stretches along the coast of Western Africa, from Morocco to Guinea, and is characterized by high biological productivity due to the upwelling of deep, cold oceanic waters along this coast. This also supports a high abundance of fish resources (both pelagic and demersal) and overall high biodiversity. This study reviews and assesses ecosystem services provided by the marine areas, coastal mangroves and seagrass meadows. These coastal areas not only provide habitats for some commercial fish species, but also feeding grounds, nurseries, or refuges. Therefore, mangroves and seagrasses can play an important role in maintaining fish stocks. L’évaluation des écosystèmes est un processus qui attribue une valeur monétaire aux avantages offerts par un écosystème et ses services écosystémiques. Cette étude cherche à réaliser une évaluation économique des services des écosystèmes côtiers marins et estuariens dans l’écosystème marin du courant des Canaries (CCLME). Le CCLME s’étend le long des côtes de l’Afrique de l’Ouest, du Maroc à la Guinée, et se caractérise par une productivité biologique élevée due à la remontée d’eaux océaniques froides et profondes (upwelling) le long de cette côte. Cela favorise également une grande abondance de ressources halieutiques (pélagiques et démersales) et une biodiversité globale élevée. Cette étude examine et évalue les services écosystémiques fournis par les zones marines, les mangroves côtières et les herbiers marins. Ces zones côtières fournissent non seulement des habitats pour certaines espèces de poissons commerciales, mais constituent également des aires d’alimentation, de nourriceries ou des refuges. Par conséquent, les mangroves et les herbiers marins peuvent jouer un rôle important dans le maintien des stocks de poissons.
