Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the EIFAC ad hoc Working Party on Handling of Fishes in Fisheries and Aquaculture. Utrecht, The Netherlands, 24-26 March 2004 (Published only online) 2008
Also available in:
No results found.This document presents the results of the EIFAC Ad Hoc Working Party on Handling of Fishes in Fisheries and Aquaculture, including the report of its workshop held from 24 to 26 March 2004 in Utrecht, Netherlands. The welfare of fishes has become a subject of attention in recent years. Concerns have been raised about the potential for infringed fish welfare in fisheries, aquaculture and fisheries research. The Ad Hoc Working Party agreed that handling of fishes must be carried out in a responsible way. Fishes show reactions to injurious stimuli. These stimuli result in physiological stress responses. Depending on the duration and intensity of the exposure to the stressor, the stress response varies from acute to chronic. Handling causing injuries and damage to the fishes should be avoided in fisheries, aquaculture and fisheries research. To ensure the welfare of fish in commercial fisheries, recreational fisheries and aquaculture, sufficient legislation and regulat ion is necessary. All EIFAC member countries discussed in this report have legislation and regulations concerning animal welfare. However, some of the legislation and regulations do not provide specific attention to fish welfare. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPicturing progress – Four betters in focus 2025This commemorative volume marks the 80th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), tracing its journey from a founding conviction – that hunger is not inevitable – to today’s global mission of transforming agrifood systems. Through a rich collection of photographs and narratives, the book illustrates how FAO works alongside farmers, fishers, scientists, governments, Indigenous Peoples, youth and civil society to advance sustainable solutions that nourish both people and planet.Organized around FAO’s vision of the four betters – better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life – the book highlights concrete progress: from regenerative farming and climate-smart livestock, to school feeding programmes, land restoration and inclusive digital innovation. It reflects on both the challenges and the opportunities facing agrifood systems, including climate volatility, conflict and inequality, while showing how collaboration, knowledge and innovation create pathways for resilience and hope.Arriving at a moment of reflection and renewal, this volume is both tribute and testimony: to the millions of people whose daily efforts sustain our world, and to FAO’s enduring commitment to building sustainable, inclusive and equitable agrifood systems that leave no one behind.
