Presents Viet Nam's striped catfish (pangasius) aquafeed value chain and identifies constraints to feed supply and use. This study maps the value chain, assesses its performance and looks at the roles of different actors and linkages.

Provides a methodology framework for countries to implement suitably harmonized sampling and survey monitoring schemes for recreational fisheries. The framework focuses on two components: representation and measurement.

Presents a methodology aimed at supporting the planning and implementation of regional demersal (bottom and beam) trawl and pelagic acoustic surveys. The publication will be useful for the implementation of new surveys-at-sea in areas where demersal trawl and pelagic acoustic surveys are not regularly carried out.

Assists African countries and Regional Economic Communities (RECs) in improving the integration of the fisheries and aquaculture sector into policy documents dealing with poverty eradication, foreign currency generation, food security, the ecosystem approach to fisheries and aquaculture, and gender mainstreaming.

This review is an update to the first worldwide review of bottom fisheries in the high seas, published in 2009 based on information from 2003 to 2006. It provides States and other interested parties with a summary of the current status of high seas bottom fisheries worldwide.

This study quantifies global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from aquaculture, and explains how cost-effectiveness analysis could be used to appraise GHG mitigation measures - thereby contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action), while supporting SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).

Presents the FAO-Thiaroye (FTT) fish smoking technique and provides recommendations to unleash its potential. The publication makes the case for an evidence-based policy backbone to safeguard the sustainable, eco-friendly supply of safe smoked (and dried) fishery products to support food security, particularly in the developing world.

Examines case studies from Croatia, the Czech Republic, Finland and other European countries to identify good practices regarding data systems currently in use and recommend solutions for some of the challenges facing the management of bodies of inland water.

Reviews the costs and benefits of climate change adaptation measures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. The publication highlights the challenges of applying conventional appraisal and decision-support tools in this context, examines emerging frameworks, and looks into economic tools for appraising adaptation options.

Provides an overview of the activities and developments of regional fisheries management organisations (RFMOs) and regional fisheries advisory bodies (RFABs) from 2000 to 2017, based on a compilation of data and information for 46 RFMOs and RFABs.

Discusses the potential value of catch documentation schemes in deep-sea fisheries, and the implementation aspects that have to be taken into account to ensure the effectiveness of this trade-based tool to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.

Tilapia is the world's most popular aquaculture species, farmed mostly in earthen ponds.

Focuses on price transmissions in small-scale and large-scale fishery and aquaculture value chains in 14 developed and developing countries. Although the study is focused on the small-scale sector, both the small-scale and large-scale sectors are analysed in order to demonstrate differences between the two.

Reports on the experiences with a diversity of cases of rights-based benthic and finfish fisheries management regimes from the Latin American region.

This study reviews the aquaculture of Indian major carps with special reference to current feeding and feed management practices in Andhra Pradesh. It also assesses management practices used under polyculture conditions with other species groups. It identifies constraints on Indian major carp production and characterises research and development needs.

With a view to aiding risk assessment, monitoring and surveillance programmes, this paper provides a range of information about the various biotoxins globally recorded in shellfish: levels detected, toxicological data, methods of analysis for detection and quantification of toxins, and the risk assessment approach for public health management.

This document is a practical guide that provides the list and technical details of materials to use in order to construct a hexagonal wooden cage for fish farming, and its mooring system, for the practice of artisanal aquaculture. The instructions for assembling the various components are illustrated in detail, and the technical guidelines for cage placement at the farming site are also described.
