Book (stand-alone)Technical bookMarine biodiversity of the Saya de Malha Bank shallows: A photographic catalogue 2024
Also available in:
No results found.This photographic catalogue presents an overview of the flora and fauna observed in the shallow waters (less than 100 m depth) of the Saya de Malha Bank in the Mascarene Plateau. While not a comprehensive representation, as some taxa were excluded due to poor-quality photos that could result in misleading or unreliable depictions, it encompasses a total of 113 taxa identified at the family, genus, or species level. These taxa span key groups, including seaweeds, seagrasses, sponges, corals, echinoderms, crustaceans, molluscs, and fish. The images are snapshots derived from video observations captured during the 2018 R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen ecosystem survey, which aimed to characterize the marine ecosystem and morphology of the Saya de Malha Bank. This area is notable for its rich marine biodiversity, supporting a diverse array of species and habitats that contribute to the overall health of oceanic environments. This catalogue serves as a valuable resource for scientists conducting further explorations in the Mascarene Plateau region, providing a basic tool for taxonomic identification. By raising awareness of the significance of the Saya de Malha Bank, we aim to foster a greater appreciation for its unique marine life and promote the conservation of these critical habitats. -

MeetingMeeting documentBillfish caught in the recreational and sport fishing of south coast of Mozambique: Results of the first census of recreational and sport fishing in 2007 and the sampling program in 2012 2013
Also available in:
No results found.Despite recreatiol fishery in Mozambique has been practiced in different modalities, ranging from shore (without boat) to offshore boat based, it was found billfish only in offshore boat based recreatiol fisheries. These fishes are caught either in recreatiol fishery for leisure or within the fishery competition (sport fishery). In both modalities (offshore recreatiol and sport) the gear used to target billfish is hook and line operated with a fishing rod and manual reel. In these fisheries the billfish represent the trophy and the specimens are usually released alive. The results of the first census of recreatiol fisheries in south cost of Mozambique performed in 2007 revealed that billfish was one of the main target groups in recreatiol fisheries, together with Narrow-barred Spanish mackerel, yellowfin tu and other tropical tus. According with the census the main representative billfish species in south coast was the indo-pacific sailfish, but in the subsequent years the monitoring p rogram revealed that black marlin is equally and even more represented in the catches of sport fisheries. In 2012, it was estimated billfish to represent 12% of the total catch in weight of sport fishery. The species of billfish recorded was black marlin with an estimated number of ten individuals captured. The lengths of the specimens ranged from 280 to 350 cm. There was no catches of billfish recorded in offshore recreatiol fishery for leisure.

Book (series)GuidelineDéveloppement de l’aquaculture. 4. Une approche écosystémique de l’aquaculture. 2011Les dimensions sociales et biophysiques des écosystèmes sont inextricablement liées de telle manière qu’un changement dans une seule dimension est très susceptible de générer un changement dans une autre. Bien que le changement est une conséquence naturelle des interactions complexes, il doit être surveillé et même géré si le taux et la direction du changement risquent de compromettre la résilience du système. “Une approche écosystémique de l’aquaculture (AEA) est une stratégie pou r l’intégration de l’activité dans l’écosystème élargi de telle sorte qu’elle favorise le développement durable, l’équité et la résilience de l’interconnexion des systèmes socio-écologiques.” Etant une stratégie, l’approche écosystémique de l’aquaculture (AEA) n’est pas ce qu’on a fait, mais plutôt comment on l’a fait. La participation des parties intéressées est à la base de la stratégie. L’AEA exige un cadre politique approprié dans lequel la stratégie se développe en plusieurs é tapes: (i) la portée et la définition des limites des écosystèmes et l’identification de la partie intéressée; (ii) l’identification des problèmes principaux; (iii) la hiérarchisation des problèmes; (iv) la définition des objectifs opérationnels; (v) l’élaboration d’un plan de mise en oeuvre; (vi) le processus de mise en oeuvre correspondant qui comprend le renforcement, le suivi et l’évaluation, et (vii) un critique des politiques à long terme. Toutes ces étapes sont informées par les meilleures connaissances disponibles. La mise en oeuvre de l’AEA exigera le renforcement des institutions et des systèmes de gestion associés de sorte qu’une approche intégrée du développement de l’aquaculture peut être mise en oeuvre et compte entièrement des besoins et des impacts d’autres secteurs. La clé sera de développer des institutions capables d’intégration, notamment en fonction des objectifs et des normes convenus. L’adoption généralisée d’une AEA exigera un couplag e plus étroit de la science, la politique et la gestion. Elle exige aussi que les gouvernements incluent l’AEA dans leurs politiques de développement de l’aquaculture, stratégies et plans de développement.

Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Africa Regional Consultative Meeting on Securing sustainable small-scale fisheries: bringing together responsible fisheries and social development, Maputo, Mozambique, 12-14 October 2010. / Rapport de l’atelier consultatif régional africain sur les pêches artisanales pour une pêche artisanale durable: associer la pêche responsable au développement social, Maputo, Mozambique, 12-14 octobre 2010. 2011

No results found.The African workshop was one of three regional consultative workshops carried out as a follow-up to the 2009 inception workshop of the FAO Extra-Budgetary Programme on Fisheries and Aquaculture for Poverty Alleviation and Food Security. The workshops built on the outcomes of the Global Conference on Small-Scale Fisheries held in Bangkok in October 2008 and referred to the recommendations made by the 26th Session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) in March 2009 with regard to the potential development of an international instrument and programme for small-scale fisheries. The purpose of the workshops was to provide guidance on the scope and contents of such an international small-scale fisheries instrument and on the possible priorities and implementation modalities for a global assistance programme. It was organised around plenary presentations on key subjects and working group discussions. The workshop agreed that an international instrument on small-scale fisheries and a rela ted programme would be important tools for securing sustainable small-scale fisheries. It recommended that a small-scale fisheries international instrument and assistance programme should be informed by human rights principles and existing instruments relevant to good governance and sustainable development, comprise the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) as a guiding principle for resource management and development and incorporate Disaster Risk Management (DRM) and Climate Change Adaption (C CA) as an integral part considering that DRM is a continuum process, before, during and after a disaster. The workshop recognised the value and worldwide acceptance of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and strongly felt that a small-scale fisheries instrument should be closely aligned to the Code. The instrument should build on what already exists and use a similar language to the Code. In developing the instrument, reference should be made not only to States but also to other sta keholders, recognizing the shared responsibility with regard to resource sustainability and livelihood security. Local, national and regional ownership should be ensured. Implementation aspects should be considered already at the design stage, including the need for technical guidance and supportive mechanisms. Results monitoring should be based on well-defined impact indicators and be an integral part of the implementation modalities.
