Book (series)Technical reportSummary Report of the Second FAO Expert Consultation on Interactions of Pacific Tuna Fisheries, Shimizu, Japan, 23-31 January 1995. 1995

No results found.This publication presents the Summary Report of the Second FAO Expert Consultation of Interactions of Pacific Tuna Fisheries held in Shimizu, Japan from 23-31 January 1995. The objectives of the Consultation were to: review and integrate the outcome of the studies on tuna fisheries interactions, summarize the extent of tuna fisheries interactions and unresolved research problems and formulate guidelines for research on tuna fisheries interactions. These objectives concentrated on b iological aspects of skipjack and yellowfin tuna in the Pacific and are addressed in the Summary Report. The Consultation concluded that concerns about interactions among Pacific tuna fisheries are likely to increase as fisheries further develop in the future. The number of quantified interactions has increased, but it is still small due to difficulties associated with evaluating such interactions. The understanding of fisheries interactions has been also significantly enhanced. Tu na fisheries interactions vary in significance, depending on the biological characteristics of the species involved, the sizes of fish caught, the local and stockwide rates of exploitation, and the distances among fisheries. Based on these relationships, general qualitative guidelines on the likely extent of interactions are presented. Only specifically-designed studies may adequately quantify interactions among tuna fisheries. Comprehensive research guidelines are offered for such s tudies. Well-designed tagging experiments studies may provide the most reliable information about interactions. Guidelines for the collection of data, biological and ecosystem research, modelling, and alternative methodologies for studying tuna fisheries interactions are also included. Interactions may be reduced by decreasing the intensity of fishing, and by increasing the distances among fisheries. -
Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Expert Consultation on Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fish Trade. Silver Spring, United States of America, 22-26 January 2007 2007The tenth Session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries Sub-Committee on Fish Trade (COFI:FT), which met from 30 May to 2 June 2006, recommended that a Technical Consultation be organized to review the draft Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fish Trade taking into account all relevant aspects of international trade in fish products. COFI:FT noted that the guidelines should further reflect the current environment of international trade in fish products and the dynamic nature of trade, requiring an approach which is forward looking and pro-active. Sustainability of fisheries, illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing (IUU), and post-harvest practices were also important factors to be considered. The purpose of this Expert Consultation was to revise these guidelines taking into account the comments made by COFI:FT. The Expert Consultation agreed that the guidelines should provide practical advice to members on all matters relevant to sustainable fisheries and responsible trade in fish an d fish products. It was also recommended that relevant articles in the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries should be revisited to reflect developments in the regulatory framework governing trade in fish and fish products that occurred since the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries was enacted.

BookletTechnical briefThe Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems
Overview
2025Young people stand at the heart of a rapidly changing world. They have the vision, energy and entrepreneurial spirit to find new and innovative ways to cultivate, create, package and transport the food we all need. If adequately nourished, educated, equipped with resources and involved in decision-making, young people can drive economic transformation and global prosperity. This brief presents the key messages and findings from the FAO report The Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems – the most comprehensive evidence-based analysis of youth engagement in agrifood systems to date. It highlights both the opportunities available to young people and the structural barriers they face, offering actionable recommendations for policymakers and development actors. The aim is to support more equitable and sustainable agrifood systems, where rural youth are not only beneficiaries but also drivers of change. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal Forest Resources Assessment 2025 2025FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2025, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The results of FRA 2025 are available in several formats, including this report, an interactive story on key findings and an online database at https://fra-data.fao.org.
