ProjectEnhancing Biosecurity Governance to Support Sustainable Aquaculture Production in Egypt - TCP/EGY/3705 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Aquaculture, or the farming of fish, crustaceans and molluscs is one of the fastest expanding food sectors Despite this, the sector faces biosecurity issues posed by the spread of exotic, endemic or emerging diseases, and aggravated by significant commercial exchanges of animal products, a lack of pathogen knowledge and effective aquatic animal health management, and rapid ecosystem changes If not addressed properly, these challenges will have a severe impact on yields, as well as on earnings and investment in the sector Every three to five years, a transboundary aquatic animal disease ( emerges and quickly spreads, resulting in considerable production losses However, detecting and identifying an outbreak often takes time, delaying the implementation of monitoring systems and interventions. -
ProjectSupport the Formulation of Sustainable Aquaculture Strategy in Jordan - TCP/JOR/3807 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The project is set against the backdrop of Jordan's heavy reliance on imported fish, which accounts for 98 percent of the national supply, leading to a low per capita fish consumption of 4.09 kilograms per year, far below the global average. The limited marine fishing industry in Jordan, coupled with the growing demand for fish driven by population growth, underscores the need to develop the aquaculture sector as a sustainable alternative. Still, the sector faces significant challenges, including inadequate policies, limited technical expertise, and competition from imported fish feed. In response, the project aims to support the Jordanian government in establishing sustainable aquaculture practices to increase local fish production, contribute to food security, and create economic opportunities in rural areas. The project’s objective is to assist the Jordanian government in creating sustainable aquaculture development tools to enhance fish productivity in rural communities and the private sector. This includes developing well-managed technical practices, strengthening technical capabilities, and introducing innovative aquaculture techniques such as biologically secure fish farms and solar-powered systems. The project also seeks to promote seabass farming, a species that can be cultivated in both fresh and saltwater, and that has a high market demand in Jordan. -
ProjectEnhancing Aquaculture Development and Aquaculture and Fisheries Post-Harvest Value Chains in Central Asia - GCP/SEC/013/TUR 2024
Also available in:
No results found.In Central Asia, the aquaculture and fisheries sectors remain largely underdeveloped. Despite recent increases in production over the past ten years, their contribution to national economies remains limited. However, these sectors tend to feature small-scale enterprises and traditional fishing communities, and therefore make significant contributions to livelihoods, rural poverty alleviation and food security. In recent years fish consumption in the region has been slowly increasing, a trend that has been attributed to enhanced aquaculture production, which, while increasing the availability of fish products has also lowered prices. Governments across the region are recognizing the potential for the aquaculture sector to support economic growth, improve livelihoods and food security, and as a result, they are starting to prioritize sector development. Despite the potential for aquaculture development across the region, the current growth of the sector in many countries remains limited. In view of this, the project was implemented as a regional programme to support aquaculture development and aquaculture and fisheries post-harvest value chains in seven countries (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Türkiye, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan).
