Pelagic fisheries Bioeconomics Fishery economics Fishery management Philippines Time series analysis of catch and effort data in the Philippines small pelagics fishery resulted in a level of biological and economic overexploitation. Open-access equilibrium has been reached at 410,000 hp representing a catch level of 465,000 tonnes. Present levels of effort would have to be reduced by 40% to attain maximum economic yield. An analysis of producer surplus showed that municipal aand commercial fishers were sustaining pure losses amounting to P9.4 billion indicating misallocation of labor and capital in an already overexploited fishery. Solutions to fisheries management problems are shown to emanate not just from the fishery, but more importantly, from the broader macroeconomic environment. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/libinfo/Pdf/Pub%20TR4%2038.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:111 2010-07-14 Household socioeconomics, resource use and fish marketing in two thanas of Bangladesh.

Percoid fisheries Fishery biology Fishery management Conferences Groupers and snappers are important fishery resources of the tropics and subtropics, where their high values have caused most of their stocks to be heavily exploited, some even to the point of collapse. Trends towards heavy demand and decreasing natural supply, which are accelerating in several parts of the world, prompted various mariculture ventures. Focused research on biology and the population dynamics of groupers and snappers, and on their reproduction and growth under controlled condition will remain essential for dealing with the questions on how to better manage their fisheries.

IIRR 2001 IIRR Aquaculture Community involvement Extension activities Fresh water Brackish water Sea water Asia The search for sustainable livelihood approaches to reduce poverty continues to pose a challenge to rural development planners and practitioners. Many fishers and farmers have developed methods of aquaculture that use water-based, natural-capital stocks and which utilize resources available locally. Development agencies have undertaken research and development efforts that build on these initiatives. This resource book is a compilation of 67 field-derived experiences and methods applied in Asia. These were compiled from contributions by 37 practitioners from 12 countries. The examples are grouped into six different chapters: general issues and principles of small-scale aquaculture as it relates to small farmers; emphasis on participatory approaches and extension strategies pertaining to small-scale aquaculture; improved management of aquatic resources by involving the communities and stakeholders; specific aquaculture systems in freshwater, brackish water and marine systems as well as lake and reservoir based fish culture. This book intentionally presents a diversity of perspectives, viewpoints and positions. It is of relevance to a wider range of development practitioners, local government officials and academic institutions. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_320.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:321 2010-07-14 Biodiversity and sustainable use of fish in the coastal zone: proceedings of an international workshop Abban, E.K.

(60) Fishery management Marine resources Institutional resources Legal aspects Governments Southeast Asia In developing countries, institutional weaknesses and constraints are pervasive in the fisheries and coastal resources management sector. Legal, policy and institutional frameworks are not crafted to suit the unique features of fisheries and other coastal resources and this has resulted in mismatches and overlaps. This volume highlights the important institutional demands and challenges in fisheries and coastal resources management through case studies in four countries in Southeast Asia &ndash; Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand. The main focus is on the fisheries sector, a major resource in the coastal zone. Since issues in this sector cannot be divorced from issues affecting the integrated management of coastal resources, both are addressed in the discussion. This volume provides an introduction to the institutional milieu of coastal and fishery resources management in Southeast Asia. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Pubs/institutional_sea/pub_insea0.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:326 2010-07-14 ICLARM annual report International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management 2000 ICLARM ICLARM Annual reports A report of the Center's activities during the year. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/publications/corp_wfc_ar_2000.asp En oai:worldfishcenter.org:328 2010-07-14 Global Symposium on Women in Fisheries Williams, M.J.

Agricultural development Aquaculture development Living resources Research WorldFish Center WorldFish Center Contrib. No. 1668 China China is a large and rapidly developing country. Fisheries and aquaculture have been prominent sectors in the contribution to GDP and the provision of food security, export revenue, and livelihoods for the poor. The rapid development has come at some cost to the environment and the sustainability of natural resources. Levels of marine fisheries catches are stagnant. Some of the rivers and major lakes are polluted and the restoration of the productivity of these lakes is of key concern. These Proceedings, made up of four papers that leading Chinese experts presented to WorldFish Center in 2002, review four aspects of these trends: agricultural development, environmental issues and the contribution of aquaculture and fisheries to development in China. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_348.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:350 2010-07-14 Dr. John Leslie Munro: list of publications and reports WorldFish Center Library 2003 WorldFish Center Munro, John Leslie, 1938- Bibliography http://www.worldfishcenter.org/libinfo/Pdf/Pub%20B5M86%202003.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:353 2010-07-14 Planning in muddy waters - orientation for strategic planning in CGIAR centers Gardiner, P. Hagmann, J. Hahne, G. 2003 WorldFish Center Planning Research Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research Centers This report is grounded on the outcomes of a Research Priority Setting Workshop held in Penang, Malaysia, during May 2002. More than a dozen research planners from the CGIAR Centers participated. There was a conscious effort to allow research managers of the CGIAR system discuss issues relating to the science program, and not just the administrative and logistical functions of the Centers. The outcomes of the workshop provided important building blocks to guide the process of strategic priority setting at the Centers in the future. The report includes a "check list" approach to assist Centers and others implement strategic planning processes. Four major elements or "cornerstones" for managing a successful strategic planning process are elaborated (i.e., process design and management; understanding the external environment; stakeholder involvement; and updating and adapting to changes). The findings of the workshop are germane not just to the Centers themselves but to many of the component elements of the CGIAR. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/publications/corp_muddy_waters.asp En oai:worldfishcenter.org:354 2010-07-14 Wetlands management in Vietnam: issues and perspectives Torell, M.

Supply balance Trade Aquaculture Fishery management Economic analysis Environmental factors Developing countries Using a state-of-the art computer model of global supply and demand for food and feed commodities, this book projects the likely changes in the fisheries sector over the next two decades. As prices for most food commodities fall, fish prices are expected to rise, reflecting demand for fish that outpaces the ability of the world to supply it. The model shows that developing countries will consume and produce a much greater share of the world's fish in the future, and trade in fisheries commodities will also increase. The authors show the causes and implications of these and other changes, and argue for specific actions and policies that can improve outcomes for the poor and for the environment. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_356.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:359 2010-07-14 Dhaka declaration on ecological risk assessment of genetically improved fish WorldFish Center 2003 WorldFish Center Selective breeding Biodiversity Fifty-four participants from 20 countries representing national/research institutions in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, non-govermental organizations and regional/international organizations held an Expert Consultation on Ecological Risk Assessment of Genetically Improved Fish during 4-6 August 2003 in Dhaka, Bangladesh, under the auspices of the International Network on Genetics in Aquaculture.

Viswanathan, K.K. 2004 WorldFish Center Fishery management Eco-labelling Certification Fishery regulations Sustainability Developing countries National and intergovernmental regulation of fisheries has not prevented many failures of fisheries management around the world. New approaches to improving the environmental sustainability of fisheries have included the certification of fisheries harvested by sustainable means, and the ecolabelling of fish and seafood products from certified fisheries. The intention is to use the power of markets as an incentive to induce more sustainable fisheries. To date, only a relatively small number of fisheries have been certified, and these have been predominantly in developed countries. Critiques from developing countries of ecolabelling, as currently formulated, focus on five general areas: (1) legitimacy and credibility; (2) a mismatch between certification requirements and the reality of tropical small-scale fisheries; (3) potential distortions to existing practices and livelihoods; (4) equity and feasibility; and (5) perceived barriers to trade. This paper reviews these developing country concerns on the basis of already certified fisheries, and on experiences from forestry, aquaculture and the aquarium industry, and also examines precedents and trends in international environmental and trade issues. It suggests that ecolabelling as currently practiced is unlikely to be widely adopted in Asian countries. Certification may have sporadic success in some eco-conscious, or niche, markets but it is unlikely to stimulate global improvement of fisheries management. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_368.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:369 2010-07-14 Wetlands management in Cambodia: socioeconomic, ecological, and policy perspectives Torell, M.

However, as in many parts of the world, there are signs that capture fisheries are fully exploited or overfished. Management of fisheries in the region is often hampered by lack of information on the status of fisheries in terms of biological, social, economic, policy and governance aspects. This regional project documents an alarming decline on coastal fishery resources, based on historic research surveys in South and Southeast Asia. Socio-economic analyses and policy reviews highlight the importance of the fisheries sector but also the challenges facing it.

No. 1726 Pacific Ocean The Bellagio Blueprint for Action on Pacific Sea Turtles is an outcome of the Bellagio Conference on the Conversation and Sustainable Management of Sea Turtles organized jointly by the WorldFish Center and U.S. NOAA Fisheries. During 17-21 November, 2003, a multi-disciplinary group of 25 experts met in Bellagio, Italy to draft an Action Plan on Pacific Sea Turtles. The group recognized the serious state of sea turtle populations in the Pacific and the escalating nature of human threats to the turtles. However, after examining cases of successful sea turtle conservation programs from around the world and reviewing a broad suite of promising policy and management actions in the Pacific, they concluded that actions to save the threatened and endangered species were possible. The Blueprint urges protecting all nesting beaches, reducing turtle take in at-sea and coastal fisheries, stimulating Pan-Pacific policy actions and encouraging the sustainability of the traditional use of sea turtles. In addition to this description of the Blueprint, the experts are developing a full policy brief and other products for wide dissemination. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_386.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:390 2010-07-14 Use of genetically improved and alien species for aquaculture and conservation of aquatic biodiversity in Africa Gupta, M.V.

(eds.) 2004 FAO; WorldFish Center Freshwater fish Fish culture Rice is presently grown in 113 countries. Rice farming also offers a suitable environment for the culture of fish and other aquatic organism. This publication synthesizes the available information on the role that aquaculture can play in rice-based farming systems towards food security and poverty alleviation. The review describes the history behind integrating aquaculture with different rice ecosystems, the various production systems in operation such as concurrent, rotational and alternate, the modifications needed to the fields in order to integrate fish with rice farming, and the agronomic and aquaculture management that is necessary. The benefits of integration to communities - economic and environmental - are also described with reviews of the experiences from values countries. The real impacts of rice-fish farming and its future potential in terms of improved income and nutrition are significant but generally underestimated and undervalued. Notable changes have taken place in pest management in rice farming, and in fish seed production and availability making this a particularly relevant moment for emphasizing the importance of rice-fish farming. There is considderable potential for rice-fish farming to expand further in many countries and to contribute substantially towards global food and nutritional security. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Pubs/CultureOfFish/Culture-of-Fish.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:412 2010-07-14 Carp genetic resources for aquaculture in Asia Penman, D.J.

Carp Fish culture Aquaculture Genetic resources Fishery resources Asia There are over 1 300 species of cyprinids in Asia, which form an important part of the world&rsquo;s aquatic biodiversity. Aquaculture and capture fisheries involving cyprinids are a vital part of the livelihoods of many millions of people in this region. The production of carps from aquaculture in Asia constitutes over half of world finfish aquaculture production. Further growth in human populations will increase the demand for carps as food, but may also threaten wild populations. This publication focuses on carp genetic resources for aquaculture in major carp producing countries of Asia viz., Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, describing the species of importance, our current knowledge of the genetics of these species and genetic improvement of these species for aquaculture. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Pubs/CarpGen/CarpGenetics.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:413 2010-07-14 The Chambo restoration strategic plan Banda, M Jamu, D.

Fisheries Fish culture Fishery management Resource conservation Resource management Malawi Oreochromis karongae Oreochromis squamipinnis Oreochromis lidole The Chambo (Oreochromis karongae, O. squamipinnis and O. lidole) fisheries are essential to the food security of the majority of Malawians and a lifeline for rural and urban economies. The chambo fisheries, however, have collapsed and urgent restoration is required. Successful restoration of the important chambo fisheries demands a careful analysis of the problem and formulation of a strategic plan to implement relevant activities that will result in effective interventions in the fisheries. These proceedings give information on the process of developing a strategic plan for the restoration of the chambo fisheries. The papers contained in these proceedings cover topics ranging from governance, policy, biology, ecology and socio-economics and, therefore, inform the reader of the scope of knowledge on the chambo, the socio-economic and livelihoods context within which the people exploiting the resource operate, and past constraints to the management of the chambo fisheries. The proceedings also contain recommendations on how to overcome the problems and a strategic plan for the restoration of the fisheries. It is hoped that the proceedings will emphasize to researchers in the natural and social sciences and development practitioners that a multidisciplinary approach is needed that puts the people utilizing the resource at the center of all activities involved if the chambo fisheries are to be successfully restored http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_413.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:414 2010-07-14 Medium-term plan 2005 - 2007 WorldFish Center 2005 WorldFish Center WorldFish Center Research programs MTP planning This Medium Term Plan (MTP) describes the World Fish Center&rsquo;s programs and partnerships and explains how they will help to reduce poverty, increase food and nutritional security, and improve the environment. Building upon the WorldFish Center&rsquo;s recent achievements in aquatic resources research and development, the MTP has been developed against the backdrop of world events in 2003-2004, particularly the recent interim reports of the Millennium Task Forces, the most recent Human Development Report, the World Bank fisheries approach paper, and the ongoing trends of overexploitation, reduced production and increased demand for fish and other aquatic resources. This plan highlights the significant achievements of the Center in a number of key areas. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_414.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:416 2010-07-14 Medium term plan 2002 - 2004 ICLARM - The World Fish Center 2001 ICLARM ICLARM Research programmes MTP planning The International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM) presents its Medium Term Plan (MTP) for 2002-2004 for the consideration by TAC and members of the CGIAR. The Plan has been developed in a period when there is growing public discontent over the limitations of global fish catches from natural environments and the provision of adequate nutrition for the burgeoning human population, especially in developing countries. The current plan is in large part an annual update of earlier plans. New directions have been developed in accordance with ICLARM&rsquo;s Strategic Plan 2000-2020. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/libinfo/Pdf/Pub%20A755%202002-2004.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:417 2010-07-14 Medium-term plan 2004 - 2006 WorldFish Center 2004 WorldFish Center WorldFish Center Research programs MTP planning This Medium Term Plan 2004-2006 presents the World Fish Center&rsquo;s programs and partnerships and describes how they are designed to provide the scientific basis for multiple positive contributions that living aquatic resources (fish for short) can make to poverty eradication, food and nutritional security, and sound management of the environment. Building upon the WorldFish Center&rsquo;s recent achievements in aquatic resources research and development, the MTP has been developed against the backdrop of world events in 2002-2003, particularly the World Summit on Sustainable Development, the review of the Millennium Development Goals in the recent Human Development report, and the ongoing trends of overexploitation, reduced production and increased demand for fish and other aquatic resources. An important achievement in 2002, which will be further developed over the next 9 years is the Fish for All initiative, launched during a global summit at the Center in November 2002. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Pubs/corporate/mtp0406/pdf/mtp2004.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:418 2010-07-14 ICLARM report International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management 1980 ICLARM ICLARM Annual reports A summary document on the progress of ICLARM from its establishment in the Philippines, in March 1977, to its present status as a dynamic international, non-governmental fisheries research organization. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/libinfo/Pdf/Pub%20I242%201977-80.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:419 2010-07-14 ICLARM report International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management 1983 ICLARM ICLARM Annual reports A report of the Center's activities during the year. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/libinfo/Pdf/Pub%20I242%201982.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:425 2010-07-14 WorldFish Center annual report 2003 WorldFish Center 2004 WorldFish Center WorldFish Center Annual reports A report that present some of the highlights of the 26th year for the WorldFish Center. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/publications/corp_wfc_ar_2003.asp En oai:worldfishcenter.org:433 2010-07-14 Women in fisheries: pointers for development Williams, M.J. 2002 ICLARM - The World Fish Center Global Symposium on Women in Fisheries: Sixth Asian Fisheries Forum, 29 November 2001, Kaohsiung, Taiwan Women Fisheries Participation Sustainability Poverty Development projects Fishery technology http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Pubs/Wif/wifglobal/wifg_cont_pointers.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:435 2010-07-14 Wetlands management in Vietnam's Mekong Delta: an overview of the pressures and responses Torell, M. Salamanca, A.M. 2003 Worldfish Center p. 1-19. In: Torell, M. ; Salamanca, A.M. ; Ratner, B.D. (eds.) Wetlands management in Vietnam: issues and perspectives Wetlands Resource management Rice Shrimp culture Vietnam Mekong Delta This paper introduces the characteristics of the Delta and outlines the pressures that are impinging on the sustainability of the Delta's wetlands. Although these pressures are non-linear and interacting, three are considered prominent. These pressures stem largely from rice production and the associated large scale water control infrastructures, shrimp aquaculture, and the inadequacy of the current institutional arrangements. Responses to these pressures are discussed noting the diverse interventions made in the past and the present. Key points raised by authors in the succeeding chapters in this volume are highlighted and a short description of the WorldFish Center project is provided. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_435.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:440 2010-07-14 Age- or length-based methods of growth estimation. What drives the choice? Pilling, G.M. Halls, A.S. 2003 The WorldFish Center NAGA 26(2): 4-7 Growth Length Age determination Stocks Marine fish Based upon a global comparison of over 400 fisheries, the Principal Components Analysis (PCA) methodology was used to identify factors affecting the choice of growth estimation methods. Of the six factors examined, the growth rate (K) and asymptotic length (L8) explained most of the variations. Financial resources, i.e., Gross National Product (GNP), and latitude were also important factors. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/na_440.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:441 2010-07-14 Pawpaw seed as fertility control agent on male Nile tilapia Ekanemm, S.B. Okoronkwo, T.E. 2003 The WorldFish Center NAGA 26(2): 8-10 Fish culture Sterility Diets Testes Histology Oreochromis niloticus Carica papaya To find out if pawpaw (Carica papaya) seeds can induce sterility in male Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and to determine if sterility so induced is reversible or otherwise, mature male tilapia of mean weight 40 g were treated for 30 days with a low dose (4.9 g/kg/day) and a high dose (9.8 g/kg/day) of ground pawpaw seeds incorporated into their feed. Fish of similar sizes in the control experiment were fed with feed that did not contain pawpaw seed. The pawpaw seeds induced permanent sterility in the fish that received the high dose, while sterility in the low dose treatment was reversible. Fish in the control experiment spawned two weeks into the experiment and again in the fifth week. Fish in the low dose treatment spawned three weeks after the treatment had been discontinued. Histological sections of the testes showed that pawpaw seeds produced swollen nuclei in the low dose treatment and disintegrated cells in the high dose treatment. The study showed that pawpaw seeds, which are easy to obtain, can be incorporated into fish feeds and used by farmers to control prolific breeding of Nile tilapia. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/na_441.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:442 2010-07-14 Length-weight relationship of some deep-sea fish inhabiting the continental slope beyond 250m depth along the west coast of India Thomas, J. Venu, S.

The Total Heterotrophic Bacteria in the commercial feed samples ranged between 103&ndash;105 cfu g-1 and those in the farm-made feeds between 106-107 cfu g-1. No bacteria of significance to human health were found to be associated with any of the commercial feed samples analyzed, while farm-made feeds analyzed during the study showed a high incidence of various human pathogens such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus, V. cholerae, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Possible modes of contamination in feeds and ways to prevent them are discussed. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/na_443.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:444 2010-07-14 The cost of action: CRM investment in the Philippines Salamanca, A.M. 2003 The WorldFish Center NAGA 26(2): 25-29 Coral reefs Coastal zone management Resource management Cost analysis Investments Development projects Philippines Knowing the cost of investment in coastal resources management (CRM) is important especially in understanding the cost of undertaking one and ascertaining whether the outcomes are worth the money spent. In the Philippines, various CRM projects have already been initiated and no studies have tried to account for the total level of investment. This paper provides an estimate of money spent or invested on CRM in the Philippines and examines the investment per km2 of coral reefs. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/na_444.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:445 2010-07-14 Stock evaluation and development of a breeding program for common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Karnataka, India: progress of a research project Basavaraju, Y. Penman, D.J. Mair, G.C. 2003 The WorldFish Center NAGA 26(2): 30-32 Fish culture Aquaculture techniques Stock assessment Selective breeding Development projects India Cyprinus carpio Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is the single most important species for aquaculture in the state of Karnataka, India, where it is generally grown in polyculture with Indian major carps. Precocious maturation and unwanted reproduction in the species have been identified as constraints to increase production in aquaculture and culture-based fisheries in Karnataka state. Stocks of C. carpio obtained from Hungary (Amur and P3), Indonesia (Rajdanu) and Vietnam (SV) are being assessed alongside two local stocks (L-BRP and L-FRS) in a series of culture performance trials with the objective of setting up a base population for selective breeding.

In addition, the aquaculture potential of the continent has only recently begun to be developed. To help sustain these capture fisheries, support the emergence of aquaculture and foster the contribution of both to sustainable livelihoods and improved food security, the WorldFish Center is increasing its investment in Africa. The framework for this investment is provided by a new Strategy for Africa and West Asia 2002-2006 that identifies priorities for the Center&rsquo;s work in rivers and floodplains, lakes and reservoirs, coastal fisheries, aquaculture, policy research and capacity building. The present article summarizes the issues being addressed by the Center and describes initial research priorities. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/na_446.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:447 2010-07-14 Potential for the development of aquaculture in Africa Jamu, D.M. Ayinla, O.A. 2003 The WorldFish Center NAGA 26(3): 9-13 WorldFish Center Aquaculture development Research programmes Fishery policies Africa Aquaculture production in Africa has remained low despite the huge potential that exists on the continent. In order for this potential to be realized, it is necessary to refocus the direction of aquaculture development. This paper concludes that for further growth to occur it is necessary to: (i) widen the range of production systems; (ii) increase production intensities and efficiencies; (iii) develop management technologies for indigenous species that target local niche markets; (iv) put more emphasis on marketing and processing of high value products; (v) promote policy research on how aquaculture production can respond to changing macroeconomic policies; and (vi) accelerate the disengagement of government from activities that can best be done by the private sector. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/na_447.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:448 2010-07-14 Local solutions to challenges of West Indian Ocean fisheries development Elst, R. van der 2003 The WorldFish Center NAGA 26(3): 14-17 Fishery development Resource management Marine fisheries Somalia Tanzania Mozambique West Indian Ocean The West Indian Ocean is rich in biodiversity and marine resources. This paper gives an overview of fisheries development and resource management in the region. There are many shared issues that must be addressed within countries and at the regional level. These are illustrated by examples from three countries. In Mozambique the issues of lack of information about artisanal fisheries, excessive harvesting of juveniles and conflicts between artisanal and commercial sectors are highlighted. Elements in addressing this include targeted research and decision-making support tools. The challenges faced in Somalia stem primarily from the political instability that contributed to an absence of sound fisheries policy. An example of a highly participatory process to develop the policy provides a model for other countries. In Tanzania, the issue of dynamite fishing was addressed by local communities initiating a program to promote wise use of the resources. There is a clear opportunity for better collaboration and greater integration of fisheries research and management on a regional basis. There is also much to be learnt by the sharing of experiences between countries. This has been initiated by some recently launched regional cooperation projects, but there are still many challenges facing this region. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/na_447.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:449 2010-07-14 Valuing Africa's inland fisheries: overview of current methodologies with an emphasis on livelihood analysis Bene, C. Neiland, A.E. 2003 The WorldFish Center NAGA 26(3): 18-21 Inland fisheries Socioeconomic aspects Economic analysis Fishery management Africa While Africa&rsquo;s inland fisheries are widely recognized to be of great importance to local people, accurate and up-to-date information on their value is sparse and its absence is a serious constraint to the formulation of effective fisheries policies and management practices. As a contribution to current efforts to address this constraint, this paper reviews the different methods that are potentially applicable to the valuation of inland fisheries and discusses their respective rationales and limitations within a multi-sectoral, multi-user context. The livelihood analysis approach is given special emphasis. The complementarity of this recently developed approach with the other, more conventional, environmental economics methods is illustrated. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/na_449.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:450 2010-07-14 River fisheries in Africa: their relationship to flow regimes Welcomme, R.L. 2003 The WorldFish Center NAGA 26(3): 22-26 River fisheries Water management Environmental effects Stream flow Man-induced effects Environmental impact Africa River fisheries in Africa are important because of their contribution of animal protein to human diets. Such fisheries are highly dependent on hydrological regimes and show considerable year-to-year variation in response to natural climatic events. River flow regimes are being increasingly altered by withdrawals by man, principally for agriculture. The modification of hydrological regimes is leading to diminishing catches of fish and changes in the number and size of the species caught. Given that the trend to remove water from rivers for agriculture and power generation will continue, better appraisals of the impacts of such withdrawals are urgently needed so the policies for water allocation can be better defined. The development of tools to aid in such decision-making is equally important. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/na_450.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:451 2010-07-14 FishBase species profile: Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) North African catfish WorldFish Center FishBase Project Team 2003 The WorldFish Center NAGA 26(3): 27 FishBase Species Africa Clarias gariepinus In this issue NAGA introduces a new page on profiles of fish species. This page will be a permanent feature of the NAGA and will be based on information derived from FishBase (http://www.fishbase.org), the world&rsquo;s premier information system on fishes and a global public good. FishBase is being developed by the WorldFish Center and an International Consortium. The first species selected is the North African catfish Clarias gariepinus, one of the most important freshwater fish species in Africa. It has been chosen in honor of Prof Dr Guy Teugels of the Musée Royal de l&rsquo;Afrique Centrale (MRAC) of Tervuren, Belgium, who recently passed away and who spent many years investigating this species. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/na_451.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:452 2010-07-14 Using ReefBase to create customized maps ReefBase team 2003 The WorldFish Center NAGA 26(3): 28-30 ReefBase GIS Reefs One of the most popular sections of the ReefBase website is the online GIS that enables users to create an almost unlimited range of maps showing a wide variety of features.

The application of genetics can play an important role in efforts to increase aquaculture production in Africa through methods such as selective breeding, hybridization, chromosome manipulation and use of YY &ldquo;supermales&rdquo;. Other issues that need to be addressed are limited genetic research facilities, funding, human capacity and suitable species for aquaculture. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/na_453.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:460 2010-07-14 Navigating the institutional landscape: introduction and overview Torell, M.

Studies have suggested that genetic diversity may be relatively low in some cultured stocks due to the history of how they were founded and subsequent exposure to repeated population bottlenecks in hatcheries. In contrast, wild stocks have an extensive distribution that extends from Southern Asia across Southeast (SE) Asia to the Pacific region. Therefore, wild stocks could be an important resource for genetic improvement of culture stocks in the future. Understanding the extent and patterns of genetic diversity in wild giant freshwater prawn stocks will assist decisions about the direction future breeding programs may take. Wild stock genetic diversity was examined using a 472 base-pair segment of the 16S rRNA gene in 18 wild populations collected from across the natural range of the species. Two major clades ("eastern" and "western") were identifi ed either side of Huxley&rsquo;s line, with a minimum divergence of 6.2 per cent, which implies separation since the Miocene period (5-10 MYA). While divergence estimates within major clades was small (maximum 0.9 per cent), evidence was also found for population structuring at a lower spatial scale. This will be examined more intensively with a faster evolving mtDNA gene in the future. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/naga/naga26-4/pdf/naga-26-4-article1.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:481 2010-07-14 South and south-east Asian coastal fisheries: their status and directions for improved management: conference synopsis and recommendations Silvestre, G. Garces, L.R. Stobutzki, I. Ahmed, M. Valmonte-Santos, R.A. Luna, C.Z. Zhou, W. 2003 WorldFish Center and Asian Development Bank Assessment, management and future directions for coastal fisheries in Asian countries. WorldFish Center conference proceedings; 67 Fishery management Coastal fisheries Southeast Asia Bangladesh India Sri Lanka As a step to address the problems of coastal fisheries in Asia, the WorldFish Center joined forces with fisheries agencies from eight developing Asian countries (Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, The Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam) and the Asian Development Bank, to implement a project entitled &ldquo;Sustainable Management of Coastal Fish Stocks in Asia&rdquo; (also known as the &ldquo;TrawlBase&rdquo; project). The project was implemented between 1998 and 2001. The main achievements of this partnership were: (a) Development of a database called &ldquo;Fisheries Resource Information System and Tools&rdquo; (FiRST), which contains trawl research survey data and socioeconomic information for selected fisheries, and facilitates its analysis; (b) Evaluation of the extent of resource decline and over-fishing, both biological and economic, in the region; (c) Identification of the measures needed to manage coastal fisheries in the participating countries, resulting in draft strategies and action plans; and (d) Strengthening of national capacity in coastal fisheries assessment, planning and management. The analyses show an alarming decline in coastal fishery resources throughout the region, with biomasses down to 5 - 30% of levels prior to the expansion of fishing. The relative abundance of the larger, more valuable fish has decreased sharply and that there has been a proportionate increase in smaller, less valuable species. The socioeconomic characteristics of the coastal fisheries, including fleet dynamics and cost efficiency has also been documented. These results provide a clear picture of the extent of stock rehabilitation and management required to restore maximum economic value to the fisheries of the region. The project has contributed to increasing awareness of key issues and opportunities in coastal fisheries management at the national and regional levels and illustrated the benefits of collaborative efforts in addressing issues of regional concern. It has also highlighted the need and urgency for concerted action at various levels of the institutional hierarchy to successfully resolve fisheries issues. There is a need to foster regional/national collaboration and cooperation among scientists and institutions involved in assessment and management of coastal fisheries. These gains provide the base (and momentum!) for the effective follow-up actions by the countries and international agencies to sustain the benefits derived from coastal fisheries by developing Asian countries. The directions for follow-up action towards improving the management of coastal fisheries resources presented in this paper were based on the results of a multisec-toral consultation conducted in the region. The main goal of fisheries management suggested is the sustainable utilization of coastal fishery resources in South and Southeast Asia, defined with environmental, socioeconomic and institutional objectives. Eight interventions to achieve these objectives are presented. These are grouped into interventions for implementation by the national fisheries institutions in the respective countries and regional support activities. We also urge that the countries must commit to continuous, long-term capacity building and institu-tional strengthening. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/trawl/publications/assessment/pdf/Chapter-01-FA.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:482 2010-07-14 An overview of the Fisheries Resource Information System and Tools (FiRST) version 2001: a database management system for storing and analyzing trawl survey data Silvestre, G. Garces, L.R. 2003 WorldFish Center and Asian Development Bank Assessment, management and future directions for coastal fisheries in Asian countries. WorldFish Center conference proceedings; 67 FiRST (computer programme) Resource surveys Fishery management Southeast Asia Bangladesh India Sri Lanka Demersal trawl surveys have been used for assessments of fisheries potential and monitoring the status of fish stocks in many countries in South and Southeast Asia. This paper presents the development of a database system, the &ldquo;Fisheries Resource Information System and Tools&rdquo; (FiRST), from a regional collaborative effort between eight countries and the WorldFish Center. The effort has collated about 21 000 hauls/stations from research trawl surveys across the South and Southeast Asian region. FiRST (ver. 2001) was designed as a data management system (to organize, store, retrieve and exchange) for extant trawl surveys. In addition, the database system includes an analytical routine to approximate biomasses and generic socioeco-nomic data, as well as catch and effort statistics for coastal fisheries. Analytical modules from other software needed for data analyses have also been made accessible via the database system. This paper also presents some examples of the utility of retrospective analysis of trawl survey data in establishing resource baselines and improving understanding of the biology and exploitation status of coastal fishery resources. The database system is now an important regional repository of information for management of coastal fish stocks in developing Asian countries. FiRST is envisioned to provide solid foundations for the formulation of appropriate fisheries management strategies and action plans at the national and regional level. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/trawl/publications/assessment/pdf/Chapter-02-FA.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:483 2010-07-14 Fisheries impact on the South China Sea large marine ecosystem: a preliminary analysis using spatially-explicit methodology Christensen, V. Garces, L.R Silvestre, G. Pauly, D. 2003 WorldFish Center and Asian Development Bank Assessment, management and future directions for coastal fisheries in Asian countries. WorldFish Center conference proceedings; 67 Marine environment Food webs ECOPATH (computer programme) South China Sea A multiple regression model is derived, based on biomass estimates in 16 massbalance food web (Ecopath) models, which explains 68 % of the variation in the data at hand, and shows that the abundance of fish with trophic levels of 3.0 or more in the South China Sea area had declined, by 2000, to less than half its value in 1960. This is worrisome, as this generalizes to the entire region declining trends observed in local areas within the South China Sea. Moreover this estimate is almost surely too conservative, given the method we used. This declining trend is compatible however with the fishing &lsquo;down marine food webs&rsquo;, reported from well studied parts of the South China Sea, notably the Gulf of Thailand, where the mean trophic levels of landings have declined, indicating gradual replacement in the underlying ecosystems of large, long lived, high-trophic level fishes by small, short-lived, low trophic level species often described as &lsquo;trashfish&rsquo;. The only exception to these trends is Brunei, whose offshore oilrigs have led to regulations precluding trawling across much of the shelf, thus in effect creating a marine reserve. We conclude by pointing out that marine reserves are indeed one approach that will have to be used if the present declining trends are to be reversed, along with a rollback of excessive fishing effort. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/trawl/publications/assessment/pdf/Chapter-03-FA.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:484 2010-07-14 Philippine coastal fisheries situation Barut, N.C. Santos, M.D. Mijares, L.L. Subade, R. Armada, N.B. Garces, L.R. 2003 WorldFish Center and Asian Development Bank Assessment, management and future directions for coastal fisheries in Asian countries. WorldFish Center conference proceedings; 67 Coastal fisheries Fishery management Socioeconomic aspects Philippines The fisheries sector in the Philippines provides a significant contribution to the na-tional economy in terms of income, foreign exchange and employment. In 2000, total fish production was estimated at 2.94 million t, 84% of which was derived from marine capture fisheries. The export of fish and related fishery products amounted to about US$400 million in the same year. Between 1984 and 1997, the fisheries sector contributed between 3.8% to 5.0% of the national GDP and 18.4% to 20.6% of the agricultural GDP in the same period. The fisheries sector also provided employment to about 1 million people in 1997. This paper reviews the Philippine coastal fisheries situation in terms of the status of the marine/coastal environment, resource potential, socioeconomic aspects of the fisheries and management measures to sustain the fishery. It also presents the prob-lems, opportunities and recommendations for sustainable exploitation of coastal fish stocks based on a multi-sectoral workshop under the &ldquo;Sustainable Management of Coastal Fish Stocks in Asia&rdquo; Project in September 2000. We highlighted the following areas that should be addressed in attaining improved fisheries management in the context of the Philippines: (1) maintaining integrity of coastal stocks and habitats; (2) maintaining the integrity of shared stocks; (3) maximizing economic benefits from utilization of resources; (4) promotion of equity in sharing benefits from the utilization of the resources; (5) minimizing conflicts among resource users; and (6) minimizing poverty among small scale fishers. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/trawl/publications/assessment/pdf/Chapter-32-FA.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:500 2010-07-14 Cambodian inland fisheries: fact, figures and context Baran, E. 2005 WorldFish Center and Inland Fisheries Research and Development Institute Fisheries Inland fisheries Fishery resources Freshwater fishes Fishery products Cambodia http://www.worldfishcenter.org/publications/CambodianInlandFisheries%20.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:506 2010-07-14 Fish: an issue for everyone - a concept paper for Fish for All 2002 WorldFish Center Fish Poverty Biodiversity Water Climate Ecosystems Sustainability Trade Fish for All is a global initiative that will create an informed inclusive public dialogue, shape a vision of the future of aquatic life, and contribute to food security and improved livelihoods for the poor in developing countries. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/fish-an%20issue%20for%20everyone.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:509 2010-07-14 Pacific: improving livelihoods for coastal communities in the Pacific WorldFish Center 2005 WorldFish Center Fisheries Aquaculture Clam culture Oyster culture Sea cucumbers Coral reefs Research programmes Publicity material Pacific I. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_509.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:511 2010-07-14 The WorldFish Center: publications and selected abstracts. 2004 WorldFish Center 2005 WorldFish Center Catalogues This volume contains a list of papers published by WorldFish Center scientists in 2004 together with their abstracts.

Drawing on work undertaken around the globe, the results described here confirm and extend earlier work and show that contributions to the fisheries sector among different genders are highly differentiated but uniformly substantial. As with many other sectors, however, the size and nature of the contribution of women in particular, is inadequately recognized and there is rarely an equitable distribution to each gender of the benefits that derive from their inputs. Such problems are especially stark for the small-scale fisheries of developing countries where women often bear brunt of poverty that pervades the sector. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/Gender%20and%20Fisheries%20Dec%202004.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:516 2010-07-14 Guide to fisheries policy research in Cambodia : the institutional and legal context Sverdrup-Jensen, S.

Aquaculture Fish-culture Gazipur Bangladesh With many ponds and high demand for fish, Bangladesh has a high potential for aquaculture . Since the 1980s, there have been many aquaculture extension projects. As a result, pond aquaculture production is estimated to have trebled between approximately 1990 and 2000, and is currently estimated to be in order of 750 000 t per year. This gave an ideal opportunity to understand the impacts of aquaculture extension. This study investigated the practices and performance of farmers about six years after specific extension efforts had ended, in order to gain a better understanding of the sustained practices and benefits achieved by fish farmers from extension. It followed up an earlier project in Kapasia Upazila (subdistrict) in Gazipur District north of the capital Dhaka, where the WorldFish Center with funding from the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the Danish International Development Agency (Danida), had researched on farming systems and had introduced adaptive integrated aquaculture practices.

McManus, J.W. Viswanathan, K. WorldFish Center 2004 The WorldFish Center NAGA 27(1/2): 31-39 Marine parks Coral reefs Fishery resources Informed planning and decision-making in the management of natural resources requires an ability to integrate complex interactions in ecosystems and communicate these effectively to stakeholders. This involves coping with three fundamental dilemmas. The first comes from the irregular pulse of nature. The second is the recognition that there are no strictly objective criteria for judging the &ldquo;well-being&rdquo; of an ecosystem. The third is posed by the quest for indicators with some integrative properties that may be used to analyze an ecosystem and impart the information to the relevant resource users. This paper presents some examples of indicators used to: 1) assess the status of a coral reef and, in particular, the state of its fisheries resources; 2) identify reefs that are most threatened by human activities; and 3) evaluate the likelihood of success of management interventions. These indicators are not exhaustive, but illustrate the range of options available for the management of coral reef ecosystems. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/naga/naga27-1n2/pdf/article-06.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:589 2010-07-14 Public-private partnerships in aquaculture: a case study on tilapia research and development Acosta, B.O. Sevilleja, R.C. Gupta, M.V. (eds.) WorldFish Center 2006 WorldFish Center Genetics Research Philippines Oreochromis niloticus In Philippines, Nile tilapia is the second most important food fish for domestic consumption, next to milkfish. Genetic improvement research for this species has progressed significantly. Public sector institutions that have played a primary role in development of improved strains of the species have also worked on sustaining the genetic quality of stocks. They have ensured that the improved stocks are disseminated commercially for the benefit of more fishfarmers. However, in view of the enormous and complex resource requirements, there is tremendous challenge for the public sector institutions to sustain the cost of long-term genetic improvement and commercialization of the improved seed from the national breeding programs. In the crop sector, such a situation has encouraged the public sector institutions to involve the private sector as a partner in breeding programs and commercialization of the products. In the case of fish, a similar trend is now emerging. In Philippines, there is an increasing private sector participation in the production and dissemination of improved tilapias. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/Public&Private%20Partnerships.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:606 2010-07-14 Developing a consultative Bayesian model for integrated management of aquatic resources: an inland coastal zone case study. Baran, E. Jantunen, T. Chheng, P. 2006 CABI Publishing p. 206-218. In: Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture Series 2 - Environment and livelihoods in tropical coastal zones: Managing agriculture-fishery-aquaculture conflicts This article presents the methodological aspects of the development of a decision support system (DSS) based on Bayesian networks and aiming at assisting in the management of water-dependent resources (rice, fish, shrimp and crab). The principles of Bayesian networks are introduced, then the steps of model development are detailed and illustrated by the BayFish model being developed in the inland coastal zone of Bac Lieu Province (Vietnam). The particular feature of this DSS is that it is based on the contribution of local stakeholders. The process of building the model is detailed and illustrated by examples, in particular: the modalities of stakeholder consultations, the progressive arrangement of variables into a structured network, the justifications and weights defining each of the variables, the integration of databases in the model so that it combines quantitative and qualitative information, and the way outputs are calculated. The model, once completed, allows planners and decision-makers to visualize the trade-offs among various water management options. It also highlights the socio-political options and choices inherent to environmental management. http://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/Publications/CABI_Publications/CA_CABI_Series/Coastal_Zones/Hoanh_1845931076-Chapter16.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:627 2010-07-14 Post tsunami status of coral reefs in Malaysia.

In the Bay of Bengal of Bangladesh area the values of asymptotic length (La) for tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon), green tiger shrimp (Penaeus semisulcatus) and brown shrimp (Metapenaeus monoceros) were found to be 30.0 cm, 23.5 cm and 16.5 cm for male and 32.1 cm, 27.0 cm, and 19.4 cm for female respectively while the growth co-efIicient(K) were 0.94, 0.80 and 1.5 year¯1 for male and 0.97,0.90 and 1.52 year¯1 tor female respectively. The length growth performance index ( ')of the Pauly and Munro's function were in the range of 2.61- 3.00 Natural mortality, fishing mortality and total mortality for tiger, green and brown shrimps were in the range of 1.72-2.75,2.13-3.94 and 3.85-6.59 respectively. Length frequency data analysis through FiSAT programme reveals that the studied three species were under fishing pressure. Spawning rnonths appeared to be from April to July for main cohort. The recruitment pattern of the penaeid stocks suggested one main pulse of annual recruitment and current exploitation rate were in the range of 0.553-0.667. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/fishnetcms_d01/resource_centre/3%20-%20NRM%20-%20MGMustafa%20-%20TheChittagongUnivJSci30-1p97.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:632 2010-07-14 BayFish - Tonle Sap: a Bayesian model of the fish production in the Tonle Sap Great Lake, Cambodia.

WorldFish Center conference proceeding 71. Penang, Malaysia Stocking (organisms) Aquaculture Malawi, Malawi L. The chambo fisheries in the South East arm of Lake Malawi have been severely exploited and depleted due to overfishing habitat degradation and use of illegal gears. The government of Malawi is determined to reverse the decline in order to restore the chambo fishery so that it fulfils its potential in meeting the food security needs of the country. This paper summarizes briefly the existing experiences aimed at increasing the production of the chambo in the lakes of Malawi by producing and releasing juvenile fish, enhancing habitats, creating fish sanctuaries, and promoting aquaculture. The paper also describes research needed to assess the potential for these interventions to contribute to increased production of the chambo. In the case of restocking, the paper identifies the protocols required to implement responsible programs if this intervention is demonstrated to have good potential to 'fast-track' the recovery of the fishery. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Pubs/Chambo/C3_Chambo.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:650 2010-07-14 Threatened cyprinid species in Asia Acosta B.O.

Nevertheless, there were signs of recent sediment resuspension at the sites studied. The diversity and abundance of coral reef fishes and invertebrates were low. However, this was not attributed to the tsunami effect but rather to the present environmental conditions. The extent of damage at the villages of Kubang Badak and Kuala Teriang may indicate that intact coastal ecosystems such as mangroves have the potential to protect lives and property during natural disasters. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/na_652.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:670 2010-07-14 Development of Fisheries Co-management in the Cambodian Mekong Viner, K. Ahmed, M. Bjorndal, T. Lorenzen, K. 2006 WorldFish Center WorldFish Center Discussion Series No.2 Fishery management Inland fisheries Cambodia The livelihoods and food security of many Cambodians depend heavily on inland capture fisheries, so the sustainable management of these fisheries is very important. Notwithstanding, the sustainability of Mekong fisheries is threatened by increasing fishing pressure and habitat modifications. Current management is considered insufficiently capable of controlling levels of exploitation and achieving equitable distribution of the resource, and the Cambodian government is promoting co-management initiatives as a way of addressing these issues. Using an institutional analysis approach, the current performance of co-management in a Mekong mainstream fishery was assessed, and factors limiting success identified. Results suggest that performance and sustainability of co-management are currently constrained by a lack of clearly defined property rights and resource boundaries, a mismatch between resource scale and management initiatives, and an absence of enabling legislation. Furthermore, objectives for management differ between stakeholders and are not well defined overall. While enabling legislation due to come into effect shortly is expected to improve performance and sustainability of co-management, boundary and scale issues will continue to pose challenges to co-management in open systems such as the Mekong mainstream. As a result, calls for innovative solutions, such as a federation of co-management schemes, will continue. In addition, increasing dependence on fishing, and external threats to resources need to be addressed if sustainability is to be improved http://www.worldfishcentre.org/resource_centre/Discussion_Series_2.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:675 2010-07-14 Fisheries and Coastal Resources Co-management in Asia: Selected Results from a Regional Research Project Pomeroy, B.

WorldFish Center 2006 The WorldFish Center NAGA 29(1/2):28-35 Agropisciculture Aquaculture techniques Evaluation Malawi Malawi is a small but densely populated country in Southern Africa. Fish is an important part of the nutrition of Malawians, providing essential protein and micronutrients. However, per capita fish consumption has halved over the ten-year period between 1988 to 1998 due to over-fishing in the lakes and doubling of the population since the 1970s, accompanied by an increase in the price of fish. This has worsened access to food insecurity, especially in rural areas, in a country where an estimated 66 per cent of the population consume less than the minimum daily calorie requirement. This paper presents an ex-post impact assessment of the development and dissemination of smallscale integrated aquaculture-agriculture technologies by The WorldFish Center and its national and international partners over more than 15 years in Malawi. The impact study measures the effects of these outputs on the degree of integrated aquaculture-agriculture (IAA) technology adoption and diffusion, the effects on farm income and health of household members, and the welfare effects of increased fish supply on the Malawian economy. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/impact.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:717 2010-07-14 Determining high potential aquaculture production areas: analysis of key socio-economic adoption factors Pemsl, D.E.

Prein, M. 2006 WorldFish Center NAGA 29(1/2):21-27 Flood plains Rice field aquaculture Bangladesh Vietnam During the rainy season in extensive river floodplains and deltaic lowlands, floods render the land unavailable for crop production for several months each year. These waters are considerably underutilized in terms of managed aquatic productivity. This raises the opportunity to enclose parts of these floodwater areas to produce a crop of specifically stocked aquatic organisms aside from the naturally occurring &lsquo;wild&rsquo; species that are traditionally fished and are not affected by the culture activity, resulting in more high-quality, nutrient-dense food production and enhanced farm income for all stakeholders, notably the poor. The WorldFish Center and its national partners recently tested the concurrent rice-fish culture in the shallower flooded areas and the alternating rice-fish culture in the deep-flooded areas of Bangladesh and Viet Nam through a community-based management system. Results indicate that community-based fish culture in rice fields can increase fish production by about 600 kg/ha/year in shallow flooded areas and up to 1.5 t/ha/year in deep-flooded areas, without a reduction in the rice yield or wild fish catch. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/community.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:720 2010-07-14 An Overview of Fisheries Conflicts in South and Southeast Asia: Recommendations, Challenges and Directions Salayo, N. Viswanathan, K. Ahmed, M.

Most conflicts arise from excessive fishing efforts due to increasing population and economic motivations. Conflicts are not all undesirable as some disputes become a catalyst for much needed reforms for policy and economic improvements. However, a framework for analyzing conflicts in fisheries is necessary to organize interventions relevant to the nature of conflicts, and the needs and capacities of fisheries stakeholders in the region. The WorldFish Center, together with research partners, conducted studies that identify a framework for managing fisheries conflicts. Thematic policy recommendations for managing fishing capacity and related conflicts in small-scale fisheries in the region are identified for further consideration by fisheries stakeholders. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/overview.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:723 2010-07-14 Remote sensing and field assessment of tsunami effects on coastal pond aquaculture in northern Sumatra Kam S.P. Liew, S.C. Muchlisin, Z.A. Chen, P. WorldFish Center 2006 The WorldFish Center NAGA 29(3/4):4-9 Remote sensing Disasters Spatial analysis Coastal zone ISEW, Indonesia, Aceh An attempt was made to conduct spatial assessment of the pattern and extent of damage to coastal aquaculture ponds along the east coast of Aceh province in Sumatra, Indonesia, resulting from the tsunami event of 26 December 2004. High-resolution satellite imagery, i.e., SPOT-5 multispectral scenes covering the 700 km stretch of the coast, acquired before and after the tsunami, were digitally enhanced and visually interpreted to delineate pockets of aquaculture ponds that were discerned to be damaged and relatively intact. Field checks were conducted at 87 sites in the four eastern coastal districts. The results indicate that SPOT-5 multispectral imagery was minimally sufficient to detect areas of damaged and relatively intact aquaculture ponds, but the 10-m spatial resolution poses limitations to evaluating the extent of pond damage. Nevertheless, the 60 km swath of the imagery makes it reasonably affordable for large-area assessment to identify pockets of severe damage for targeting more detailed assessments. The image maps produced from a mosaic of the SPOT-5 scenes can also serve as base maps for spatial planning in the challenging task of reconstruction and rehabilitation of the disrupted livelihoods of the coastal communities. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/e-Naga/29-3-4/pdf/article1.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:725 2010-07-14 Fisheries rehabilitation in post-tsunami Aceh: Status and needs from participatory appraisals.

Dey, M. 2006 The WorldFish Center NAGA 29(3/4) 2006 pp. 19-30 Disaster Tsunami The widespread and long-term nature of the tsunami damage in Aceh province, Indonesia has threatened the continued use of coastal and fisheries resources. This article describes the application of the Rapid Appraisal of Fisheries Management System (RAFMS) methodology and presents key findings from the participatory appraisals in 15 study sites. The focus is on changes in the number and types of fishing boats and fishing effort, consumption and marketing flow patterns and community perspectives on livelihood options. The level of aid (for new boats), mainly from international organizations, has been unevenly distributed with the number of boats in 13 of 15 villages still being well below the pre-tsunami levels. A focus on supplying small vessels may put increased fishing pressure on the near-shore zone. Consumption data and marketing flows suggest that most fishing villages are supplying outside markets and adding considerably to the wider food security of the province. Despite the tsunami, marine fisheries-related livelihoods are still preferred, although there are indications for the potential expansion of livelihoods into the culture of new species. Alternative resource-based livelihoods need to be tested and refined to fit the needs of the current conditions in Aceh to provide viable options for eliminating hunger and reducing poverty. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/e-Naga/29-3-4/pdf/article3.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:727 2010-07-14 Perspectives from Agriculture: Advances in livestock breeding-Implications for aquaculture genetics Nguyen, N.H. Ponzoni, R.W. WorldFish Center 2006 The WorldFish Center NAGA 29(3/4):39-45 Genetics Biotechnology Selective breeding Freshwater fish In this paper we present livestock breeding developments that could be taken into consideration in the genetic improvement of farmed aquaculture species, especially in freshwater fish. Firstly, the current breeding objective in aquatic species has focused almost exclusively on the improvement of body weight at harvest or on growth related traits. This is unlikely to be sufficient to meet the future needs of the aquaculture industry. To meet future demands breeding programs will most likely have to include additional traits, such as fitness related ones (survival, disease resistance), feed efficiency, or flesh quality, rather than only growth performance. In order to select for a multi-trait breeding objective, genetic variation in traits of interest and the genetic relationships among them need to be estimated. In addition, economic values for these traits will be required. Generally, there is a paucity of data on variable and fixed production costs in aquaculture, and this could be a major constraint in the further expansion of the breeding objectives. Secondly, genetic evaluation systems using the restricted maximum likelihood method (REML) and best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) in a framework of mixed model methodology could be widely adopted to replace the more commonly used method of mass selection based on phenotypic performance. The BLUP method increases the accuracy of selection and also allows the management of inbreeding and estimation of genetic trends. BLUP is an improvement over the classic selection index approach, which was used in the success story of the genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) in the Philippines, with genetic gains from 10 to 20 per cent per generation of selection. In parallel with BLUP, optimal genetic contribution theory can be applied to maximize genetic gain while constraining inbreeding in the long run in selection programs. Thirdly, by using advanced statistical methods, genetic selection can be carried out not only at the nucleus level but also in lower tiers of the pyramid breeding structure. Large scale across population genetic evaluation through genetic connectedness using cryopreserved sperm enables the comparison and ranking of genetic merit of all animals across populations, countries or years, and thus the genetically superior brood stock can be identified and widely used and exchanged to increase the rate of genetic progress in the population as a whole. It is concluded that sound genetic programs need to be established for aquaculture species. In addition to being very effective, fully pedigreed breeding programs would also enable the exploration of possibilities of integrating molecular markers (e.g., genetic tagging using DNA fingerprinting, marker (gene) assisted selection) and reproductive technologies such as in-vitro fertilization using cryopreserved spermatozoa. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/e-Naga/29-3-4/pdf/article6.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:738 2010-07-14 Relative Importance of Various Predators in Clarias gariepinus Fry Mortality in Cameroon Sulem S.Y. Brummett, R.E. WorldFish Center 2006 The WorldFish Center NAGA 29(3/4):74-77 Fry Mortality Predators To estimate the relative importance of the most common predators of Clarias gariepinus fry, increasing levels of protection were afforded to exclude amphibians, aquatic arthropods and birds. At a stocking density of 10 larvae/m² in nursing ponds, fencing off amphibians resulted in a 28 per cent decrease in mortality. Holding fry in hapas to protect them from both amphibians and aquatic arthropods decreased mortality by an insignificant 5.7 per cent. Installation of bird-netting over the hapas reduced mortality by 21.7 per cent. The remaining 4.9 per cent of total mortality, which could not be explained, was attributed to opportunistic cannibalism, disease and/or handling stress. Increasing stocking density to 40/m² and, thus, reducing the food available per fry increased mortality by 28.3 per cent. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/e-Naga/29-3-4/pdf/article12.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:739 2010-07-14 Mangrove Rehabilitation in the West coast of Aceh - Issues and Perspectives Kanagaratnam, U.

The findings indicate that community livelihoods are significantly linked to the mangrove ecosystem. However, most of the mangrove rehabilitation programs are conservation orientated, aimed primarily at land conservation, and are not necessarily linked with livelihood options for local people or integrated resource management. This is a cause for concern as rehabilitation will only succeed when conservation measures are balanced with local community needs to obtain sustainable benefits from the rehabilitated systems. The rehabilitation efforts do involve the communities to a certain extent, but a more holistic and integrated approach needs to be adopted to ensure better management and sustainability of the rehabilitated mangrove forests. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/e-Naga/29-3-4/pdf/article2.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:746 2010-07-14 Demand for fish in Asia: a cross-country analysis Dey, M.M.

The next section of the paper is devoted to the model used in the analysis of the study. Following that is a discussion of the cross-country comparison of consumption and the estimated own-price and income elasticities for various fish types, derived from the empirical demand model. Furthermore, the discussion focuses on how the elasticity estimates behave at different levels of household income. Such an analysis of fish consumption is expected to lead to a better understanding of how household decisions may vary as income changes. The final section presents some policy implications of the results of the study. Specifically, this section demonstrates how the elasticity estimates can be useful in assessing welfare issues of fisheries and aquaculture development as they affect consumers and producers, especially the poorer members of the sector. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/2%20DemandForFishInAsia%20-%202007.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:751 2010-07-14 Marketing systems for fish from Lake Tana, Ethiopia: opportunities for improved marketing and livelihoods Gordon, A.

This report reviews the factors that trigger fish migration in the Mekong River and other tropical freshwater river systems. It aims to provide a basis for understanding the consequences of human intervention to the natural flow regime of the river system on fish migration and thereby on the fisheries of the Lower Mekong Basin. The report comprises two parts. It begins with a systematic review of the published information on migration triggers and cues in the Mekong River system and in other tropical rivers worldwide. This part includes a discussion of other associated issues, such as spawning triggers, which should also be taken into account when dealing with Mekong fish migrations and management. The second part of the report presents a quantitative analysis of the environmental factors that trigger the migration of Mekong species. This section is based on a merger of FishBase 2004 with the Mekong Fish Database, and covers the entire population of 768 Mekong species held within FishBase. The merged data set includes biological data and coded ecological information for all of these species. The results are supplemented by an analysis of data from a recently published study of migration patterns and hydrological triggers at the Khone Falls (Southern Lao PDR). http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_770.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:771 2010-07-14 Water requirements of floodplain rivers and fisheries : existing decision support tools and pathways for development Arthington, A.H.

So Nam Mao Sam Onn Inland Fisheries Research and Development Institute 2006 IFReDI Policies Research Cambodia The main objective of the document is to make a modest attempt to highlight the challenges which are emerging with the current phase of Cambodia's aquarian reforms the most important component of which is the current transition from fishing lots to community fisheries. The challenges include the realms of institutional and policy reform, local action, innovation and research. We contextualize our effort by commencing with an assessment of the importance of the aquatic resources and by providing a brief historical background to the reforms. This is followed by an examination of the changes in the access and property rights and the system changes which have been brought about as a result of the reform. How some of the transitional changes can be assessed and the manner in which the efforts at community fisheries can be made more economically and socially viable are also addressed. We deal with the complex issue of social identity and the aspirations for creating a new sense of community. The new role of women, the importance of creating networks and closer collaboration with Cambodia's local governance structures and vibrant civil society organisations are also highlighted. The reforms have created new legal realms of local 'micro' ecosystem space and resource governance. But this should not detract from the need for an understanding of the larger 'global' context be it in relation to the ecosystem dynamics or governance priorities. We suggest that research and development priorities must be re-oriented to consider ways of dealing with the vast number of new and evolving 'local realities' and yet, link them up contemporaneously to the big 'global picture'. We end with a few recommendations addressed to different actors involved in the process of aquarian reforms. There is a call for a new mission and greater collaboration by research institutions; new methodologies for data collection; greater participation with local governance structures; an exit strategy for aid agencies and the need for setting up a national institute for co-management applications and training. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/Cambodia_s%20Aquarian%20Reform.policy%20paper%20-%20English_1.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:775 2010-07-14 Tropical river fisheries valuation : a global synthesis and critical review Neiland, A.E.

Dickson, M. 2007 The WorldFish Center Conference Paper 2. In: Dickson, M. and A. Brooks (eds.) Proceedings of the CBFM-2 International Conference on Community Based Approaches to Fisheries Management, Dhaka, Bangladesh, 6-7 March 2007 Fishery management A wide range of institutional arrangements were practiced in the Community Based Fisheries Management project in phase-1 (1994-1999) and phase-2 (2001-2007). The project documents stated that there were three main fisheries management approaches; fisher-led, community-led and women-led, however this fails to capture the full diversity of approaches adopted by 10 project partners (including DoF) during implementation. As a part of the institutionalization process, 130 CBOs were developed and established under the project as clear legal entities. In order to achieve sustainable management of the fisheries, efforts have been made towards linking these communitybased organizations (CBOs) and local institutions in CBFM-2 sites. Four regional CBO networking committees and a central committee were formed. The central committee is now being officially registered. Project partner NGOs were the main agencies involved in the CBO development process. To improve the likelihood of long-term CBO sustainability, plans have been prepared and are being implemented for project phase-out and post-project sustainability. Another important process was cluster management in CBFM. Overall, it can be concluded that the establishment of CBOs as local level institutions, cluster management and CBO networks made a positive contribution towards project implementation and should help to ensure that CBFM approaches are sustained. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_777.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:778 2010-07-14 Impact of the Community-Based Fisheries Management on sustainable use of inland fisheries in Bangladesh Mustafa, M.G.

This involves coping with three fundamental dilemmas. The first comes from the irregular pulse of nature. The second is the recognition that there are no strictly objective criteria for judging the &ldquo;well-being&rdquo; of an ecosystem. The third is posed by the quest for indicators with some integrative properties that may be used to analyze an ecosystem and impart the information to the relevant resource users. This paper presents some examples of indicators used to: 1) assess the status of a coral reef and, in particular, the state of its fisheries resources; 2) identify reefs that are most threatened by human activities; and 3) evaluate the likelihood of success of management interventions. These indicators are not exhaustive, but illustrate the range of options available for the management of coral reef ecosystems. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/naga/naga27-1n2/pdf/article-06.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:813 2010-07-14 The GCRMN - coordinating coral reef monitoring efforts for effective management Tun, K.

Stenopus Between 1999 and 2003, the WorldFish Center in Solomon Islands conducted research into the feasibility of a new fishery based on the capture and culture of postlarval coral reef fish for the live fish trade. The work was carried out in two phases: a research phase from late 1999 to the end of 2002; and a &ldquo;finetuning&rdquo; phase in 2003. Most of the species were of value to the marine aquarium trade, with very few live reef food fish recorded. The most valuable ornamentals were the banded cleaner shrimp, Stenopus species. Cleaner shrimp were harvested using crest nets, the method being modified with the addition of a solid, water-retaining cod-end designed to increase survival at capture. Grow-out techniques were improved by rearing the shrimp separately in jars to prevent aggression. The jars were painted black to protect the shrimp from sunlight. An economic model using experimental catch data and farm gate prices indicates that the fishery based on shrimp, supplemented with small numbers of lobster and fish is economically viable. The next step will be setting up a demonstration farm in a village in the Western Province of Solomon Islands. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/naga/naga27-1n2/pdf/article-08.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:815 2010-07-14 A global protocol for monitoring of coral bleaching Oliver, J.

Mikkola, H. Brummett, R. 2004 The WorldFish Center Naga 27(1-2): 60-64 Fishery management Community involvement Fishery regulations Sociological aspects Africa The current, highly centralized approach to fisheries management seems to be incapable of coping with escalating resource depletion and environmental degradation. Co-management has been identified as an alternative. This paper compares various approaches to fisheries management and discusses their performance in relation to the nature of the fishery. It is concluded that in African fisheries, stringent institutional arrangements, poor human, technical and financial resources, and a limited time frame often thwart co-management approaches. However, with the right conditions and prerequisites, comanagement can be successful in improving compliance with regulations and maintaining or enhancing the quality of the resource. The paper brings out the issues that require further research. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/naga/naga27-1n2/pdf/article-12.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:823 2010-07-14 From drawing board to dining table: the success story of the GIFT project Gupta, M.V.

While significant progress has been achieved in the genetic improvement of temperate fish such as salmonids, no efforts were made until the late 1980s for the genetic improvement of tropical finfish, which account for about 90 percent of global aquaculture production. This paper traces the history of the Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) project initiated in 1988 by the WorldFish Center and its partners for the development of methods for genetic enhancement of tropical finfish using Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) as a test species. It also describes the impacts of the project on the adoption of these methods for other species and the dissemination of improved breeds in several countries in Asia and the Pacific. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/naga/naga27-3n4/pdf/article01.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:827 2010-07-14 No relationship between fecundity and annual reproductive rate in bony fish.

Shao, K-T. 2004 The WorldFish Center Zoological Studies 43 (4): 803-812 Nucleotide sequence Gene expression Microorganisms DNA The primary structure of the Dascyllus trimaculatus mitochondrial (mt) control region was determined, and conserved features were identified based on sequence comparisons to other teleostean fish species. Three termination-associated sequence (TAS) motifs, a central conserved sequence block (CSB), and a pyrimidine tract were identified, indicating that the organization of the mt control region in D. trimaculatus is similar to those reported for other teleosts. However, 2 sets of variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs), denoted R1 and R2, which simultaneously occur at both the 5' - and 3' -ends of the mt control region are first reported herein in teleost fish. Analysis of amplification of the VNTRs indicated that heteroplasmy is common for both sets of VNTRs. VNTRs also respond to sequence length variation of the D. trimaculatus mt control region. A relatively high proportion of VNTR copy number variations and heteroplasmy indicate the potential utility of VNTRs as markers for assessing three-spot dascyllus population-level variability. http://www.sinica.edu.tw/zool/zoolstud/43.4/803.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:851 2010-07-14 Women in the December 26 Tsunami: how have they coped; how can we help?

Chiwaula, L. Bènè, C. Waibel, H. Pemel, D. 2006 The WorldFish Center Prosperity and Poverty in a Globalized World, Tropentag, October 11-13, 2006. University of Bonn, Germany Economic analysis Livelihoods Food security Fisheries Africa Fish play an increasingly important role in national and local economies of many developing countries. Africa&rsquo;s rivers, wetlands and lakes are especially important for poor rural households for whom they provide employment and income opportunities in areas where other economic alternatives are scarce or inexistent. They also provide nutritional safetynets in these regions with limited roads and access to market. However, policy makers and regional decision makers tend to underrate fisheries, in particular inland small-scale fisheries. Often preference is given to large-scale irrigation projects, in an attempt to increase agricultural productivity, or to electricity-generating dam projects, without necessarily recognising and integrating the role played by smallscale fisheries for local economic development and food security. This study contributes to an economic assessment of the food safety value of inland fisheries. The objectives are (1) to develop an adapted portfolio of methodologies for inland fisheries valuation, and (2) to conduct an in-depth socio-economic study in the Lake Chad Basin, more precisely, in Cameroon and Nigeria. The paper presents a methodology that captures the following: Using the Vulnerability as Expected Poverty concept, the susceptibility of fishery dependent households to micro and macro shocks will be assessed. The computation of a vulnerability scale is expected to clarify the relationships between fishery-related activities and poverty as well as between socio-political determinants and poverty. The methodology will be applied in the context of an empirical study carried out in collaboration with the WorldFish Centre, in five African countries: Cameroon, Nigeria, Niger, Malawi and Zambia. http://www.tropentag.de/2006/abstracts/links/Witt_gEpW8opt.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:919 2010-07-14 Changing traditions : a summary report on the first global look at the gender dimensions of fisheries Williams, M.J.

Bose, M. Persson, T.H. 2007 The WorldFish Center Working paper, Lund University, Dept of Economics; no. 2007:11 [online only] Primary healthcare Local government Accountability Bangladesh Bangladesh has made significant progress in health indicators in recent years in spite of her low level of income. This is mainly due to the commitment of the state supported by donors in providing preventive care with respect to child health and family planning. However, there are serious problems related to both access and quality of curative care that hurt the poor most. Infrastructures for service delivery exist at local level in rural areas but they function inefficiently. This paper deals with the systemic weaknesses of decentralized service provision of primary healthcare in Bangladesh and focuses on accountability links between different actors and functions of delegation, finance, performance, information and enforcement. The study is based on facility- and household-based data collected during 2005 in Khulna Division. The main findings of the study are: the health system in rural areas represents deconcentration rather than decentralization of central government functions where inter-sectoral discipline works poorly; local health providers are not accountable to local government, and poor citizens/clients are neither aware of their rights nor are capable of expressing their needs as effective channels do not exist. http://ideas.repec.org/p/hhs/lunewp/2007_011.html En oai:worldfishcenter.org:931 2010-07-14 Knowledgebase for lessons learned and best practices in the management of coral reefs WorldFish Center.

Pascual-Fernández (eds.) Proceedings on women in fisheries and aquaculture: lessons from the past, current actions and ambitions for the future pp. 56-63 Artisanal fishing Females Malaysia Recent studies have shown that women are actively involved in the small scale fisheries sector in Malaysia working very often without pay in the family businesses. Activities carried out by women include small-scale fish processing, net mending, cleaning and gutting fish, fish vending, feed preparation and feeding fish in aquaculture projects. Planners and policy makers must recognize the unpaid work for women so that the needs of women will not be left behind in development planning. When women performing unpaid work are not considered in the official workforce statistics, planners may misconstrue the true situation in a community. For example, planners may give low priority to building a government subsidized, child-care centre in a fishing community where women were not recorded officially as part of the workforce, even though they have put in many hours of hard work in the family businesses. Women may also be deprived of opportunities to take bank loans to start their small businesses and may miss out on opportunities for self-improvement because of wrongful classification and discrimination. When women's labour is not accounted for, fish will inevitably be sold at a subsidized price at the expense of the fisher. This paper examines the position of the unpaid women's workforce in the small-scale fisheries sector in Malaysia, and its implications to the fishers and their families. It also examines ways of how unpaid labour can be valuated. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_958.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:966 2010-07-14 Floodplain aquaculture WorldFish Center 2007 The WorldFish Center Bangladesh's natural floodplain fisheries remain vital in providing food, income and employment opportunities for millions.

Despite the lack of clear evidence of a decline in the overall production of the Mekong fish catches in the past, there are such threats as industrial development, upstream damming, disruptive fishing methods and use of highly hazardous chemicals imported from neighbouring countries which may cause the actual decline in fish catch in the future. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/080327_WF_984.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:994 2010-07-14 2007 Publications catalog The WorldFish Center 2008 WorldFish Center This catalog lists more than 69 refereed and 38 non-refereed publications published by The WorldFish Center and papers contributed by the Center's scientists in 2007.

Proceedings of the Regional Conference on Ecological and Environmental Modeling (ECOMOD 2004), Universiti Sains Malaysia, 15-16 September 2004, Penang, Malaysia Environmental management is a field where the number of variables, their interactions and feed-back loops require tools to integrate information, build scenarios and support decision-making. Among the various kinds of Decision Support Systems, Bayesian Belief networks have proven to be quite useful as they can integrate quantitative information as well as qualitative expert knowledge. Beyond knowledge integration, the consultations also help clarifying what is at stake, how variables interact and what are the conflicting interests. Gathering expert knowledge requires consultations, with a particular approach constrained by modelling requirements. In this paper based on our experience we focus on the technical aspects of such stakeholders' consultation. We describe in detail the steps of the consultation, we analyse the methodology (selection of stakeholders, collective building of a model structure, probabilities elicitation, etc). Then we review the possible pitfalls and problems encountered in the process. We ultimately propose generic guidelines for stakeholders consultation in view of building Baysian models for environmental management. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_1000.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1001 2010-07-14 Bayfish: a model of environmental factors driving fish production in the lower Mekong basin Baran, E. Makin, I. Baird, I.G. 2003 The WorldFish Center In tropical floodplain systems local populations are generally highly dependent upon the system&rsquo;s natural aquatic resources. In such systems the annual fish production depends on a combination of biological and physical parameters, principally 1) hydrological factors; 2) environmental factors and 3) fish migrations. Developing management plans is complicated as assessing the role of each factor is usually made difficult by their diversity, their interactions or feed-back loops, and by the frequent absence of data on certain factors. We present here a tool developed to overcome these difficulties with the aim of facilitating the management of large tropical rivers. Despite the absence of adequate regional or national statistics and comprehensive time series data, a review of existing studies has allowed, the identification of ten factors driving the fish production in the Mekong River Basin. They are 1) hydrological factors: water level, flood duration; flood timing, flooding regularity; 2) floodplain factors: bank types, flooded zone land cover, dry season refuges, bank types, turbidity; 3) biological factors: longitudinal or lateral migrations. This assessment provided the framework for the production of a model integrating the driving environmental parameters and their interactions. Fishing, that also influences fish production, is not yet part of this model focussing on hydrological and ecological factors. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_1001.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1002 2010-07-14 Analysis of the Cambodian bagnet ("dai") fishery data Baran, E. van Zalinge, N.

Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. 1116 p. This paper deals with relationships between hydrology, wetlands and fisheries production in the Mekong River Basin. A five-year monitoring of the bag net ("dai") fishery in the Tonle Sap River (Cambodia) showed a strong correlation between catches and water level in the same year. One taxon making up to 37% of total catches explains most of the relationships between catches and water level. The current overall catch in the Tonle Sap system amounts 230,000 tons a year. When compared with historical surveys, this catch is twice as much as the catch 60 years ago. However when population increase is taken into account, the catch per fisherman has drastically declined. This can be considered as a warning signal of high exploitation rate. There is also a positive relationship between historical catches and water level in the Mekong River. Several hydrological, environmental and ecological variables are likely to influence fish catches in the Mekong River floodplain. Hydrological variables are water level, duration, timing and regularity of the flood. Environmental variables are the total area of floodplain, the area of each type of flooded vegetation, and the presence or absence of dry season refuges. Among ecological variables, fish migration is by far the most important. The importance of fish catches in the economy and the food security of the region requires a very careful approach to water management in the Mekong Basin. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_1003.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1004 2010-07-14 The contribution of aquatic ecosystems and fisheries to food security and livelihoods: a research agenda Dugan, P.J.

River fisheries Conservation Ecology Large rivers and their floodplains support a significant proportion of the world&rsquo;s biodiversity and provide important goods and ecological services to society, including fisheries. Riverine ecosystems and fisheries are subject to intense pressure from a wide range of anthropogenic disturbances, the main ones being impacts from altered land use, modifications to river flow regimes, riparian and physical habitat loss, water pollution, exotic species invasions and intensive exploitation of fish stocks. As a consequence, a far greater proportion of freshwater species are threatened or endangered than terrestrial or marine species in the same taxonomic groups. In this paper we review ecological processes sustaining river and floodplain biodiversity and productivity. We also outline the status of knowledge of fundamental issues in fish ecology, including fish habitat requirements, trophic ecology, life history strategies, migration, the population biology of riverine fish and modelling of fish populations and assemblages. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_1007.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1008 2010-07-14 A review of quantified relationships between mangroves and coastal resources Baran, E. 1999 The WorldFish Center Phuket Marine Biological Center Research Bulletin 62:57-64 This paper focuses on relationships between mangroves and coastal resources (fish and shrimps).

This results in a high diversity of estuarine fish species, with an important turnover and a core of ubiquitous species. The species richness of a given estuary depends on the combination of hydrological factors (marine or freshwater dominance) and biogeography (continental biogeographic regions). The catch rate is higher in lagoons and inverse estuaries than in normal estuaries, which can be explained by the predominance of small juveniles in the latter. Clupeids are the most abundant fishes all over the region, but different systems have different dominant species. Assessing the functioning of West-African estuaries provides useful comparisons to Asian estuarine systems. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_1009.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1010 2010-07-14 The importance of non-commercial fish Baran, E. 2002 The WorldFish Center Chapter 5.5.2.11 in theme "Fisheries and Aquaculture: Towards Sustainable Aquatic Living Resources Management" P. Safran (ed.), UNESCO Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems. EOLSS Publishers, Oxford ,UK. This article deals with the importance of finfish that are not sold on any market. We detail two major points of view: the ecological significance of larvae and juveniles for future harvests, and the importance of subsistence fisheries as a food supply, particularly in the tropics. In the first case, we show that larvae and juveniles of many commercially important species are linked to estuarine and coastal environments and to their quality; they are also dependent on other species of no commercial interest. Although they do not target juvenile fishes, trawl fisheries may exert a significant negative role on their survival and therefore on future catches. However, in all cases, the relationship between juveniles and adults is difficult to quantify. In the latter case, available data show that gleaning, family fishing, and other usually neglected types of fish catch can result in surprisingly high yields not far from those of artisanal fisheries. Both these concerns require an ecosystem approach to ensure the sustainability of the resource. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_1010.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1011 2010-07-14 Approaches and tools for sustainable management of fish resources in the Mekong River Basin Baran, E. Baird, I.G. 2003 The WorldFish Center p. 78-87. In Cao, M. ; Woods, K. ; Hu, H. ; Li, L. Biodiversity management and sustainable development. China Forestry Publishing House, Kunming. 246 p. This paper details the approaches and tools developed at ICLARM to contribute to the sustainable management of fish as a food resource in the Mekong River Basin. Multiple partnerships have been established in order to gather, compile, analyse and compare existing data on fish resources. Core contributions from Mekong River Commission projects have been supplemented by additional data and experiences from a large range of sources. Matching data from different origins allowed for i) the development of hydrological and flooded vegetation models, and ii) the comparison of basinwide trends in fish migrations and catches. The tools developed also include FishBase, a database on fish taxonomy and biology. The information available in FishBase can be used to determine functional guilds of fish based on their biological characteristics. A variety of hydrological and environmental factors that influence fish production have been identified. This has led to the development of a qualitative Bayesian model of Mekong fish resources. The development of this model is proposed as a tool for promoting discussions and interactions between regional institutions, national and local government agencies responsible for fisheries and environmental management in the Mekong Basin. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_1011.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1012 2010-07-14 Ecological and modelling approach to flood-fish relationships in the Mekong River Basin Baran, E.

Proceedings of the National Workshop on Ecological and Environmental Modelling, 3-4 Sept 2001, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, Malaysia In tropical floodplain systems and rivers, how to address the relationships between environmental modification due to development (dams construction, extracting water, etc...) and natural fish production? Environmental modelling is a promising tool, provided that the frequent paucity of data can be circumvented. We present here the three parts of an approach that has been developed in 2000-2001 in the Mekong River Basin: 1) Study of all ecological parameters involved in the prediction of fishery harvest. Looking beyond hydrology and encompassing subtle ecological factors such as the nature of flooded vegetation has proven essential to a comprehensive assessment of the driving factors in fish production. 2) Identification of the corresponding data required for classical modelling. The requirements of such modelling are highlighted, and the drawbacks arise mostly from a lack of such data in tropical regions. 3) Development of a Bayesian network to model the functioning of the system, in which fish groups and environmental factors are considered as interacting agents of a system. Interactions between agents are thus specified in terms of probability distributions. The latter approach, or more broadly multi-agent modelling, is promising as the interactions between multiple groups can be easily made more complex to better mimic reality. Thus the model of fish-floodplains relationships can be extended to include users groups (fishers, peasants, etc..) and environment managers (interacting national bodies). http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_1012.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1013 2010-07-14 Hydro-biological models for water management in the Mekong River Baran, E.

Mekong River Commission. 382 p. Among users of the water resource are fishes and fishermen. Given the importance of fisheries in the Lower Mekong River Basin, water management schemes must take the fish resource into consideration. Therefore hydrological modelling must encompass hydrobiological issues of critical importance for fisheries. This presentation is an overview of the practical aspects of modelling the relationship between water flow and fish production. The different ways of addressing this issue are listed, together with their corresponding data requirements. Basic production models address the relationship between fish production and water discharge, and the relationship between flooded surface and fish production. More refined production models focus on the impact of the dynamics of the flow, such as duration, timing, consistency. In addition to hydrology, environment must also be taken into consideration for a proper management of the fish resource. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_1013.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1014 2010-07-14 Fish resource and hydrobiological modelling approaches in the Mekong Basin Baran, E.

The tools also identify the nature of constraints to aquaculture development and thereby shed light on appropriate interventions to realize the potential of the target areas. The project results will be useful for policy planners and decision makers in national, regional and local governments and development funding agencies, aquaculture extension workers in regional and local governments, and researchers in aquaculture systems and rural livelihoods. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_1047.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1048 2010-07-14 Annotated bibliography on socio-economic and ecological impacts of marine protected areas in Pacific Island countries Cohen, P.

But deciding when a PPP is suitable and what PPP arrangement is best is difficult. Many options exist for such partnership arrangements, and the differences among them can be subtle but significant. It is therefore important that researchers for development, managers, advisors and policymakers understand the language and concepts of PPPs. This document aims to improve understanding of PPP for those who would use PPP arrangements to improve fisheries and aquaculture in developing countries. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_1068.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1076 2010-07-14 Reefbase Pacific information portal WorldFish Centetr 2008 The WorldFish Center A flyer to describe the ReefBase website which contains extensive information related to the status, use, management and knowledge of reef resources in the Pacific region both in English and French. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_1076.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1079 2010-07-14 About more than just the size of the boat: Big Numbers Project Rolf, W.

As data on the negative impact of shrimp farming on adjacent rice fields are not available, a study was undertaken in rice fields skirting three shrimp farms: a semi-intensive farm; an extensive farm; and a semi-intensive farm with a buffer zone. The buffer zone was found to be helpful in preventing salinization of the adjacent agricultural fields and the Electrical Conductivity (EC) values (less than 1) reported were found to be harmless to the rice crop. Thus, aquaculture and agriculture can coexist in coastal areas if there are buffer zones in between. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/aq1.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1646 2010-07-14 Involvement of rural women in aquaculture: an innovative approach. Shaleesha, A. Stanley, V.A. 2000 The WorldFish Center NAGA 23 (3): 13-16 Aquaculture Rural communities Role of women Participation India Although women have proved to be competent in adopting new aquaculture technologies, their role is very much restricted and often ignored. One of the major reasons is the location of aquaculture sites and several sociocultural taboos against women who strive to earn for their family&rsquo;s subsistence in rural areas. There is a gender bias in many aquaculture activities. To ensure that women utilize their full potential in profitable activities like aquaculture, it is necessary to provide capacity building support to rural women, which will eventually lead to their empowerment. In countries like India, the technology provided to women must take into account cultural aspects. One such project - backyard ornamental fish breeding and management - has been found to offer immense scope for improving the livelihood of rural women. This paper gives some practical tips for dissemination of technology in the rural sector, particularly to rural women. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/aq2.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1647 2010-07-14 Development of giant freshwater prawn broodstock. Mohanta, K.N. 2000 The WorldFish Center NAGA 23 (3): 18-20 Prawn culture Freshwater aquaculture Brood stocks Macrobrachium rosenbergii The commercial success of a giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) hatchery depends upon the uninterrupted supply of the desired quantity and quality of broodstock. This study was an attempt to develop the broodstock near a hatchery, to be used for seed production throughout the year. The hatchery produced seed were stocked at the rate of 3/m2 after initial pond preparation. The prawns were fed with a pelleted diet (3 mm size) prepared by using locally available feed ingredients. The seed had an initial weight of 0.30 g and attained an average weight of 92.0 g and 62.0 g in males and females, respectively, within 11 months. Berried prawns were observed starting from the month of June (5%), after six months of stocking, with a maximum in September (60%). The percentage of berried prawns increased from June to September when the water temperature was optimum and decreased from December when it got cold. The broodstock developed in this experiment could be used in the hatchery after six months of stocking, and brooders could be used to produce seed for two seasons before being sold in the market. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/aq3.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1648 2010-07-14 Using eye lens diameter as age indicator of young Lithognathus mormyrus and Diplodus vulgaris.

The results showed that the technique could be adopted for determining the age of the two species when the specimens are very young. The method is especially useful for age determination when otolith or scale rings are not visible or when false rings may give erroneous readings. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/fb1.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1649 2010-07-14 Length-weight relationships of demersal fishes from the upper continental slope off Colombia.

Most of these problems are interdependent and interact with one another. The lack of an appropriate definition of wetlands applicable to the region, pervasive inefficiencies and chronic lack of funds among riparian governments, and the poor appreciation of the true economic importance of wetlands and its resources are among the most prominent. The current definition, based on the Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, Iran, 1971), is too broad when compared to the "common" understanding of wetlands as being swamps, marshes and the like, and was developed specifically for wetlands with international importance as waterfowl habitats. Furthermore, wetlands are composed of different types of resources, which require different modes of management. Often, institutional competition, overlapping mandates and sometimes jealousies occur between government departments when they try to assert their authority on a particular wetland resource and use, and put forward their development plans without considering how these may conflict with other wetlands uses. Finally, effective wetland management requires reliable statistics or information on rate of harvest of natural resources such as fish and others, fishing/harvesting methods over time in order to determine the level of exploitation, and the status of the natural resources. This information is needed to identify opportunities for expansion, to establish historical trends, and to determine when management interventions are necessary to protect the resources from being overused by other developments. In order to address these issues, ICLARM - The World Fish Center has launched a project, the aim of objectives of which are described in this paper. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/Naga24-3&4/pdf/features.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1671 2010-07-14 The half-lives of biological activity of some pesticides in water. Kyaw, M.O. 2001 The WorldFish Center NAGA 24 (3-4): 11-13 Pesticides Bioassays Rice field aquaculture Water Labeo rohita In the absence of analytical methods, the half-lives of biological activity of pesticides can be estimated by bioassays. To determine the half-lives of biological acivity of pesticides to fish, static bioassays were conducted in the laboratory with ten different formulations of pesticides using Labeo rohita as a bio-indicator. The half-lives of biological activity for ten different pesticides in soft water at pH 7.5 and 27°C, ranged from 4.6 days to 11.8 days. The half-life of biological activity of Sumithion 50% EC was only 4.6 days. In contrast, Dimecron 50% EC degraded very slowly and its half-life of biological activity on L. rohita was about 11.8 days. Sumithion 50% EC, Padan 50% SP, EPN 45% EC, Diazinon 40% EC and Diazinon 10 G degraded in less than five to seven days indicating that these pesticides are desirable for rice-fish culture. Contamination by pesticides with long-term residual toxicity in waters may eventually cause high levels of fish mortality. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/Naga24-3&4/pdf/aquabyte%201.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1672 2010-07-14 A note on monoculture of Penaeus monodon in a hardwater seasonal pond.

Shrimp recruited to the lagoon throughout the sampling period (January to August 1993). Mean growth rates of microcohorts ranged from 0.21 to 1.21 mm total length (TL) per day. Juvenile shrimp mainly between the sizes of 70 to 80 mm TL emigrated from the lagoon. Growth and the onset of emigration appeared to be related to water salinity. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/Naga24-3&4/pdf/fishbyte%202.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1676 2010-07-14 A database for the industrial trawl fishery of Cote d'Ivoire.

However, data processing has changed significantly with time and some of the data files have been lost. In 1997, the Centre de Recherches Oceanologiques d'Abidjan decided to retrieve and process all trawl data available from different sources. This paper gives an overview of the database covering the period 1968 to 1997 and describes its coverage, format, structure and use. The database was developed using MS ACCESS and is a powerful tool for storing information about this fishery, and for analysis of its dynamics over a period of 30 years. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/Naga24-3&4/pdf/fishbyte%203.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1677 2010-07-14 A fisheries co-management case study from The Gambia.

Selective breeding, particularly crossbreeding has been applied successfully to red common carps in China, and the products of these efforts have been in commercial use since the 1970s. However, knowledge of the quantitative and molecular genetics of these carps is limited. Studies were therefore undertaken to: (1) understand the genetic diversity and genetic relationship of red common carps in China; (2) understand the inheritance of color phenotype of Oujiang color carp; (3) select stable Oujiang color carp with fast growth rate and ornamental Oujiang color carp comparable with the Koi common carp from Japan; (4) study the culture performance and culture systems suitable for the Oujiang color carp in cages and paddies; (5) extend better quality fish and appropriate culture systems for small scale fish farmers in poor areas. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/Naga24-3&4/pdf/inga%20news.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1679 2010-07-14 On the way to management of west Sumatra's coastal ecosystem Kunzmann, A. 2002 The WorldFish Center NAGA 25(1): 1-10 Coral reefs Ecosystem management Marine parks Indonesia, Sumatra Various impacts on the coast of the Indonesian province of West Sumatra are presented together with activities and achievements to address them, e.g. public awareness, public relations and capacity building, including the establishment of a marine protected area. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/Naga25-1/pdf/NAGA%2025no1_feature.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1680 2010-07-14 Pig dung as pond manure: effect on water quality, pond productivity and growth of carps in polyculture system Dhawan, A.

It was observed that pig dung at both the levels did not degrade the physico-chemical properties (pH, dissolved oxygen and alkalinity) of water. The nutrient (phosphates and nitrates) level of water was higher in manured ponds than control ponds (no manuring, only supplementary feeding). Further, plankton levels (phyto- and zooplankton) were also significantly higher in manured ponds. The growth of Catla catla and Labeo rohita was significantly more in manured ponds than in control ponds. Growth of Cirrhinus cirrhosus and Cyprinus carpio was significantly more in ponds manured with pig dung at 18 t/ha/year than in control ponds and the growth of Ctenopharyngodon idellus was significantly more in control than in manured ponds. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/Naga25-1/pdf/NAGA%2025no1_aquabyte.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1681 2010-07-14 Results of bottom trawl surveys carried out in Vietnamese waters (20-200 m) in 1996-1997 Dang, V.T.

The timing of labor availability and other farm activities limit the amount farmers put into their ponds resulting in lower growth rates and yields. There is potential for improving production and yields through modifications of production schedules to accommodate other farming activities. Limited material and labor inputs among farming system enterprises can be better allocated by considering seasonal availability of inputs and adapting the pond and fish farming technology to the farming system. This case from Malawi demonstrates that aquaculture technology that neglects the annual cycle of events and constraints on the farm will not be easily integrated into the farming system. Focusing on technology that maximizes fish production rather than facilitation of adoption and integration has been a feature of the majority of African smallholder agriculture/aquaculture projects. Farming Systems Research (FSR) must identify niches and opportunities for system improvement for it to be worth supporting as a development intervention. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/Naga25-1/pdf/NAGA%2025no1_socsc.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1685 2010-07-14 Tilapia broodstock development for saline waters in the Philippines Tayamen, M.M.

Macrobrachium rosenbergii In Vembanad Lake and its confluent rivers (Kerala, India), the catches of Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man) were reported to have dwindled to a mere 39 t in the 1980s from average landings of 300 t during the 1960s. This decline is due to the impact of a number of human interventions affecting the ecosystem and, hence, the stocks of M. rosenbergii. Monitoring of landings in 1994-1995 and 1995-1996 indicates an improvement in catches.

However, it is still a labor intensive, time intensive and expensive procedure. To reduce time and cost of rearing anemonefishes, experiments were undertaken to improve the methods for rearing Amphiprion melanopus. These experiments were conducted to determine the effect of the length of photoperiod on larval duration, growth to metamorphosis and early juvenile phase. Growth of larvae was significantly faster and the duration of the larval phase was significantly shorter, under a photoperiod of 16 hours light/8 hours dark, compared to the photoperiods of 12 hours light/12 hours dark and 24 hours light/0 hours dark. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/23-2/aq3.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1696 2010-07-14 Some reproductive aspects of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus (Lacépède) from Cross River, Nigeria Ekanem, S.B. 2000 The WorldFish Center NAGA 23(2): 24-28 Brood stocks Reproduction Fecundity Nigeria Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus Between May and October 1990, fecundity, egg size and condition factor of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus (Lacépède) in the Cross River, Nigeria, were studied. The fecundity (F) of this population varied from 3 046 eggs (total length, L=28.5 cm) to 28 086 eggs (L=64 cm). A mean relative fecundity of 231 eggs/cm or 13 eggs/g of fish was obtained for this population. The fecundity of this population can be estimated with the formula F=2.511 · L 2.30 or F=52.893 · W 0.78 , total length being in cm and weight (W) in g. The mean egg diameter of this population varied from 0.65 mm to 3.54 mm. Condition factor (CF) of the population varied from 0.24 to 1.34 with 0.977 as the mean; 52.8% had CF higher than the mean and 47% had CF above unity. Smaller fish in this population were in better condition than bigger ones.

For the rural poor, the neighboring wetlands are the only source of fish. They depend on them for their daily consumption of fish as well as a source of livelihood. Ecoenergy studies indicate that these wetlands have a fairly high production potential. However, the current regulations and system of management are not conducive to sustainable production from these water bodies. It is resulting in overexploitation and degradation.

Arthana, I.W. 2002 The WorldFish Center Naga 25(3/4): 4-9 Coral reefs Resource management Large marine ecosystems Population genetics Reef fisheries Fishery management South China Sea Local communities and local government units are recognized as the primary stakeholders and participants in the management of coral reef resources and the primary beneficiaries of small-scale fishing activities in the nearshore areas of the coastal zone. The issues relating to the management of the coastal zone are multi-faceted and some issues are largely intertwined with national policy and development goals. Thus, national governments have jurisdiction over these nearshore coastal resources to harmonize policies, monitor resource use and provide incentives for sustainable use. However, the natural boundaries of these reef resources, the processes that support reef ecosystems, and the local or national affiliation of the people who benefit from them may transcend the boundaries of the local and national management units. Therefore, efforts to arrest the decline in fish catch and loss of biodiversity for reefs require management interventions and assessment activities to be carried out at varying scales. In Southeast Asia, some aspects of reef and reef resources management &mdash; particularly in deciding the allocation of catch among competing fisheries, development of sustainable harvest strategies, use of broodstock for restocking or stock enhancement programs, protection of nursery and spawning areas, designation of systems of marine protected areas, and the identification of representative, adequate and comprehensive areas for biodiversity conservation in the region &mdash; may require the definition of larger management units. At the regional level, multi-country initiatives will need to define units for the transboundary management of resources. The use of large marine ecosystems (LMEs) to identify and manage fisheries resources may be a starting point; however, given the relatively sedentary nature of coral reef-dwelling and reef-associated organisms compared with other pelagic and demersal species, meso-scale transboundary units within the LMEs have to be defined. This paper provides suggestions for transboundary management units for coral reef and reef-associated resources in Southeast Asia based on information from genetic structures of model organisms in the region. In addition, specific reef areas are identified, which may be important beyond their national boundaries, as potential sources of recruits. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/naga/Naga25-3&4/pdf/NAGA_25no3n4_features_a.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1701 2010-07-14 Aquaculture in Jamaica Aiken, K.A.

Manning, R. 2002 The WorldFish Center Naga 25(3/4): 10-15 Aquaculture development Aquaculture enterprises Fish culture Jamaica Oreochromis niloticus Oreochromis mossambicus Colossoma macropomus Macrobrachium rosenbergii Jamaica, with its overfish marine resources, has become a major tilapia producer in Latin America led by a small number of large farms practicing tilapia culture with considerable commercial success. Across the country, however, aquaculture is typically practiced by a large number of small-scale fish farmers who own less than 1.0 ha of land. Production is constrained by lack of credit, finite land space and suitable soil type, but larger existing aquaculturists are expanding further for overseas markets. Inspired by pioneering tilapia fish culture demonstration projects funded by the USAID and the goverment of Jamaica, fish culture production rose from a few hundred kg of Oreochromis niloticus in 1977, to about 5000 t of processed fish mainly red hybrid tilapia, in 2000. Most of this quantity was exported to Europe and North America. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/naga/Naga25-3&4/pdf/NAGA_25no3n4_features_b.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1702 2010-07-14 Integration of freshwater prawn culture with rice farming in Kuttanad, India Kurup, B.M.

Nearly 55 000 ha of wetlands in Kuttanad are available for paddy cultivation year-round. Around 5 000 ha of the polders are utilized for Macrobrachium rosenbergii culture as a follow-up crop. Of the total area, about 250 ha of fallow polders are utilized for monoculture of M. rosenbergii from March to October, while in 4 750 ha polyculture with Indian and exotic carps is practiced from November to June. Stocking density is 15 000 to 60 000/ha for monoculture of M. rosenbergii, while in polyculture with carps, it is 5 000 to 20 000/ha of prawn and 5 000 to 10 000/ha of fish. Production from monoculture varies from 95 to 1 297 kg/ha whereas production from polyculture systems it is 70 to 500 kg/ha of prawn and 200 - 1 200 kg/ha of fish. Profits range from Rs. 5 000 to 20 000/ha. An evaluation is made of how the present polders of Kuttanad are best utilized for culture of M. rosenbergii following different systems of integrated farming and how the integration is useful in the aquaculture sustainability of Kuttanad, a tropical wetland ecosystem. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/naga/Naga25-3&4/pdf/NAGA_25no3n4_features_c.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1703 2010-07-14 Length-weight relationship of mudskippers (Gobiidae: Oxudercinae) in the coastal areas of Selangor, Malaysia Khaironizam, M.Z.

The fisheries of the Farasan Islands (Saudi Arabia, Red Sea) are described. The fishery resources are exploited by artisanal, investor and industrial sectors. The artisanal fishery consists mostly of line fishing around coral reefs and about half the fishing effort occurs within the proposed marine protected area (MPA). Activities by investor and industrial fisheries sector include line fishing, gill netting, fish trapping and demersal fish trawling. The relevant resource management issues that need to be addressed as part of a planning study for the establishment of a MPA are also presented. The major issues are: (1) the decline in the catch of the artisanal fishery; (2) by catch and habitat degradation; (3) sustainability in the collection of giant clams and pearl shells; and (4) the lack of information such as the importance of MPA to fisheries, stock assessment and catch and effort data. A significant role in the future management of the fisheries has been identified for the traditional representatives of the artisanal sector. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/naga/Naga25-3&4/pdf/NAGA_25no3n4_features_f.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1706 2010-07-14 African freshwater fisheries: what needs to be managed?

Gorda, S. Bakos, J. Jeney, Z. 2002 The WorldFish Center Naga 25(3/4): 45-47 Seed (aquaculture) Brood stocks Selective breeding Hungary Cyprinus carpio Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) breeding has a long tradition in Hungary. However, recent economic changes in Eastern Europe and new developments in aquaculture necessitated the need for ensuring quality of the brood stock used in hatcheries and the legal and institutional frameworks needed to implement the program. In addition to good research and development programs and gene banking, it became essential to establish an appropriate legal framework, organize, coordinate and control breeding activities, and provide financial support. It was a major breakthrough for carp breeding when C.carpio was recognized as one of the cultivated animals in the Animal Breeding Act in 1993. The Carp Breeding Section of the Hungarian Fish Producers Association plays an important role in carp breeding programs. Thirteen breeding farms of the Carp Breeding Section have 24 certified C.carpio varieties. In Hungary, about 80 % of the seed used as stocking for commercial production are from high quality certified breeders. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/libinfo/Pdf/Naga/NAGA%2025%203n4%20features_h.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1708 2010-07-14 Genetic enhancement and conservation of aquatic biodiversity in Africa Gupta, M.V. 2002 The WorldFish Center Naga 25(3/4): 48-49 Biodiversity Genetics Aquaculture development Resource conservation Biotechnology Africa There is a pressing need to enhance fish production in Africa through improved farm management and the use of improved fish breeds and/or alien species in aquaculture while at the same time conserve the aquatic genetic diversity. This paper presents the outcome of the Expert Consultation on Biosafety and Environmental Impact of Genetic Enhancement and Introduction of Improved Tilapia Strains/Alien Species in Africa held in Nairobi, Kenya on 20-23 February 2002. The main topics discussed were status of aquaculture in Africa and the role of genetic enhancement; potential benefits and risks involved in introduction of genetically improved strains and/or alien species with specific reference to tilapias; existing policies and legislation for the conservation of biodiversity, their strengths and weaknesses; capacity for undertaking genetic enhancement research and implementation of policies for the conservation of aquatic biodiversity. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/libinfo/Pdf/Naga/NAGA%2025%203n4%20features_i.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1709 2010-07-14 A preliminary study on the feasibility of using fenced brushparks for fish production in Lake Chilwa, Malawi Jamu, D.M.

Oreochromis shiranus Barbus paludinosus Clarias gariepinus Haplochromis callipterus A study to investigate the feasibility of using fenced brushparks for fish ranching in Lake Chilwa was conducted for five months at the Kachulu Harbor. In a water depth of 1.4 m enclosures constructed from bamboo sticks embedded in the sediment and surrounded by a 13 mm seine net, were filled with three different subrates (Typha, bamboo, and Sesbania branches) and a no substrate enclosure served as a control. Netting materials contributed 57 per cent towards the total cost (US$ 0.24-0.30/m2) of brushpark contruction. Fish productivity was highest in the Typha, bamboo and control treatments and lowest in the Sesbania treatments. The decomposition of substrates did not affect water quality. The results indicate that enclosed brushparks may be a feasible technology for enhancing fish yields and providing alternative income sources to fisherfolk in small lakes and water bodies. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/Naga26-1/pdf/naga_26no1_feature1.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1710 2010-07-14 Length-weight relationship of fishes from coral reefs along the coastline of Jordan (Gulf of Aqaba) Odat, N. 2003 The WorldFish Center Naga 26(1): 9-10 Reef fish Length-weight relationships Biomass Red Sea, Aqaba Gulf Jordan The parameters a and b of the length-weight relationship of the form W = a.Lb were estimated for 15 fish species caught along the coastline of Jordan in the Gulf of Aqaba.

The approach is based on the age at maximum cohort biomass, or critical length (L*) concept. The ratio of the critical length to the asymptotic length ( = L*/L8) is relatively constant in 141 fish stocks at 0.62 (CV = 21.4 per cent) and the relationship M = 3K(1- )/ is derived and could be used to estimate M, where K is the growth coefficient of the von Bertalanffy growth function. Average values of are given for the various Families of fish in order to estimate M based on closely related species. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/Naga26-1/pdf/naga_26no1_feature5.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1714 2010-07-14 Genetic improvement of the herbivorous blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) Li, S.F. Cai, W.Q. 2003 The WorldFish Center Naga 26(1): 20-23 Selective breeding Fish culture Growth Body size China, People's Rep. Megalobrama amblycephala Selection experiments with the herbivorous blunt snout bream or Wuchang bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) were started in 1985. Mass selection for size and length/depth ratio resulted in a significant increase in growth and better shape, while inbreeding led to a significant decrease in growth. The total selection ratio from fry to mature brooders was about 0.03 per cent per generation. In the grow out stage, the average daily body weight gains of two lines of fifth generation (F5) fish were 29 per cent and 20 per cent respectively more than the control group, with an average of 5.8 per cent and 4 per cent improvements per generation, respectively. The body was 4 per cent deeper in ratio of standard length/body depth. The effects of inbreeding were examined by crossing full-sibs, the offspring of which were kept without selection. The third generation inbred fish showed 17 per cent lower growth as compared to the control group, with an average of 7.5 per cent per generation. The results demonstrate that selection is a powerful tool to improve the economic traits of the blunt snout bream, but inbreeding can rapidly lead to a reduction in performance. In 2000, the 6th generation of selected bream was certified by the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture as a good breed for aquaculture. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/Naga26-1/pdf/naga_26no1_feature6.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1715 2010-07-14 Growth, mortality and recruitment of Nile perch Lates niloticus (L.

For this purpose, both Schaefer and Fox production models were applied. The results from these analyses revealed an economic overexploitation condition, and suggested an imperative need to implement as a regulatory measure, the reduction of the catch per unit of effort level (CPUE) to keep the fishery within acceptable bioeconomic margins of a maximum sustainable yield (Ys). This can only be achieved through the adjustment of the fleet size from 481 vessels down to 250 or 275. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/naga/naga26-4/pdf/naga-26-4-article4.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1718 2010-07-14 Food and feeding habits of Synodontis nigrita from the Osun River, SW Nigeria Olojo, E.A.A.

The MPAs in the study area have increased through the years. Many of them were established and managed by the local government units (LGUs) in collaboration with national government agencies (NGAs), academic institutions, people&rsquo;s and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Several management issues and problems were cited by the MPA managers such as insuffi cient funds and facilities, lack of support from NGAs/NGOs and lack of education among the people. Nevertheless, lessons for sustainability can be learned from the experience of some wellmanaged MPAs in the Bohol Sea. These include strong support from the political leadership, community participation and networking among the concerned sectors. Although the best practices are being followed in a number of MPAs in the Bohol Sea, success is still fragmented. The MPAs are currently managed independently although there are ongoing initiatives to network their efforts. However, it can be observed that, as a management tool, MPAs are gaining popularity and support, not only among the fisherfolk but also among local communities and LGUs in the Bohol Sea area. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/naga/naga27-1n2/pdf/article-01.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1724 2010-07-14 Length-weight relationships of commercially important marine fishes and shellfishes of the southern coast of Karnataka, India Abdulrahiman, K.P.

Already more than 60 per cent of all reefs worldwide are endangered. The use of explosives and poison by small-scale fishers, to supply the market for live fish for aquariums and for human consumption, cause irreversible damages to reefs. Similarly, rapid and unmanaged coastal development for marine tourism negatively affects coral reefs in many ways. Though marine parks and marine protected areas are being promoted all over the world, developing countries need assistance in establishing and assessing such reserves and for taking appropriate actions for rehabilitation of reefs. These can be accomplished through partnership projects. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/naga/naga27-1n2/pdf/article-03.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1726 2010-07-14 Length-weight relationships of marine fishes from the central Brazilian coast Frota, L.O.

Test specimens were obtained from a grow-out pond before attainment of maturity and were reared in hatchery tanks. Four types of dietary treatments (M1&ndash;M4) were given to separate batches that were run in duplicate. Feeding trials continued for five months. A diet with live bloodworm, bioencapsulated to contain tricalcic phosphate as its major component, was found to be the most efficient. Specimens of this particular batch assimilated food more efficiently, grew at a faster rate and attained maturity earlier than other groups. Bloodworm provided the lipid fractions for which there is no de novo synthesis in shrimp.

Alam, M.S. 2004 The WorldFish Center Naga 27(1-2): 65-69 Hybridization DNA Freshwater fish Fish culture Allozymes Growth Bangladesh Catla catla Cirrhinus cirrhosus Cirrhinus mrigala Labeo rohita Thirty individuals of each species of Indian major carps, i.e., Catla catla, Cirrhinus cirrhosus (C. mrigala) and Labeo rohita, obtained from a nursery near Mymensingh, Bangladesh were analysed by means of allozyme electrophoresis. Twenty-one loci were studied. Several loci revealed significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg expectations caused by deficiency of heterozygotes, indicating Wahlund effects due to problems with species identification. Moreover, bimodal distributions of individual heterozygosity within the three putative species indicated hybridisation. This was confirmed using analysis of individual admixture proportions, as individuals misidentified to species and hybrids between species were observed. Furthermore, factorial correspondence analysis to visualize genetic relationships among individuals revealed three distinct groups containing misclassified individuals, along with some intermediate individuals interpreted as hybrids. Ten per cent of all C. catla and L. rohita had been erroneously identified to species, and 40 per cent of all presumptive C. catla were hybrids between C. catla x C. cirrhosus and C. catla x L. rohita. In the case of C. cirrhosus, 37 per cent of the samples were C. cirrhosus x L. rohita hybrids. Thirty per cent of all presumptive L. rohita turned out to be hybrids between L. rohita x C. catla and L. rohita x C. cirrhosus. The high incidence of hybrids in C. catla might be responsible for slower growth of the fish in aquaculture. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/naga/naga27-1n2/pdf/article-13.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1732 2010-07-14 Length weight relationships of Nigerian freshwater fishes King, R.P. 1996 The WorldFish Center Naga 19(3):49-53 Length-weight relationships Freshwater fish Nigeria Length-weight relationships of 73 fish populations, covering 20 families, 28 genera and 40 species inhabiting freshwater ecosystems in Nigeria, were estimated (73 cases) or assembled from the literature (20 cases), and tested for difference between ecosystem types, There were no significant differences in the exponent of these relationships between lotic and lentic systems. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/Naga/na_1732.pdf oai:worldfishcenter.org:1733 2010-07-14 Length-weight relationships of Nigerian coastal water fishes King, R.P. 1996 The WorldFish Center Naga 19(4):53-58 1996 Length-weight relationships Length-weight relationships (LWR) of 76 fish populations, distributed among 11 families, 18 genera and 22 species, inhabiting coastal (marine/brackish water ) ecosystems in Nigeria were estimated (39 cases) or assembled from the literature (37 cases).

Bandi, B. Durville, F. 2008 The WorldFish Center Water Alternatives 1(2):219-235 Small scale aquaculture Political aspects Governments Policies Egypt, Arab Rep Africa Despite its relatively modest importance, and the current difficulties faced by the government in implementing liberalization in the rest of the country, the Egyptian government decided to embark on a reform of the Lake Nasser fishery in the early 2000s. The objective of this article is to analyse the evolution of this reform from a political economy perspective. The paper looks retrospectively at the general context of the reform, describes the different institutioinal and economic changes that have resulted from its realization, identifies how the distribution of power between the different actors has altered the course of its implementation, and finally assesses the outcomes of the reform. The analysis shows that, while some major institutional changes have taken place, those changes have had little to do with a 'liberalization' as conventionally understood in neo-classical literature. Instead, the new status quo turns out to be one where the central government and its different parastatal agencies have managed to maintain their existing advantages. The failure to reform more thoroughly the system also led fishers and fish traders to engage in a large scale black market activity in which a substantial amount of fish is smuggled through unofficial trade channels. http://www.water-alternatives.org/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=29 En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1802 2010-07-14 Global change in African fish trade: engine of development or threat to local food security? Béné, C. 2008 OECD Publishing OECD Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Working Papers no. 10 Trade Food security Food fish Developing countries Economic analysis ASE, Africa, Western Sahara Today fish is the most traded food commodity in the World. This situation is not without generating potential issues. On the one hand, fish trade is said to support economic growth processes in developing countries by providing an important source of cash revenue. On the other hand, fish trade is also said to lead to a decline in food security and a decrease in the availability of fish for the local population. In this paper we explore more thoroughly those two opposite views in the specific case of sub-Sahara Africa. For this we consider a range of eight national development indicators that encapsulate both economic and wellbeing of sub-Sahara countries over the last decade and correlate them against four indicators reflecting the country-specific importance of fish trade, industrial and small-scale fisheries in the economy of Sub- Sahara Africa. Our statistical analysis shows that when sub-Sahara countries&rsquo; data are considered at the macro-economic level the fear that fish trade may affect negatively fish food security is not substantiated by any statistical evidences. At the same time the analysis also shows no evidence to support the claim that international fish trade contributes effectively to national economic development and/or wellbeing. The last section of the paper discusses the various possible reasons for this apparent lack of correlation and highlights the respective flaws underlying the two opposite discourse about the role of fish trade in national development and food security. http://masetto.sourceoecd.org/vl=4430813/cl=11/nw=1/rpsv/cgi-bin/wppdf?file=5kz7x9mj2z0v.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1805 2010-07-14 Lessons learned and best practices in the management of coral reefs [Thai version] WorldFish Center 2008 WorldFish Center This brief presents a review of lessons learned and best practices in the management of coral reefs based on the analysis of 30 projects funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) related to coral reefs and associated tropical marine ecosystems and 26 non-GEF funded projects. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_1805.pdf Thai oai:worldfishcenter.org:1806 2010-07-14 Knowledgebase for lessons learned and best practices in the management of coral reefs [Thai version] WorldFish Center.

This monograph is the case study for China, with a particular focus on Henan Province, the project location. Written in three parts, it first describes the historical background, production levels and trends, economic and institutional environment, policy issues, and market situation in China in general. The main part of the study presents findings from two different surveys conducted in Henan Province. County-level information is used to analyze the current situation of aquaculture, providing a more disaggregated picture than what is generally available from national statistics. Data collected in a survey of fish farmers in two locations in Henan are then analyzed with regard to the prevailing aquaculture technology and production practices, economic performance of pond fish farming, and the key reasons for aquaculture adoption. In the final chapter, constraints and opportunities for the aquaculture sector in China in general are discussed. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_1972.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1974 2010-07-14 A cost-effective data acquisition system for assessment and management of tropical multispecies, multi-gear fisheries Munro, J.L. 1983 The WorldFish Center Fishbyte 1(1): 7-12 Data acquisition Species Catch/effort http://www.worldfishcenter.org/naga/FB_1974.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1976 2010-07-14 A simple method for comparing the growth of fishes and invertebrates Munro, J.L.

One possible approach is the comparative approach, which has the additional advantage of allowing, in certain cases, for inferences on the growth of the fish or invertebrates of a given stock, given the growth characteristics of closely related animals. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/naga/FB_1976.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1991 2010-07-14 Territorial use rights and economic efficiency: the case of the Philippine fishing concessions Smith, I.R. Panayotou, T. 1992 FAO FAO Fisheries technical paper; 245, 17 p. Efficiency Cost analysis Fry Philippines This paper discusses the mechanics and implications of municipal concessions in the Philippines which govern the use of municipal waters for fish corrals, oyster culture beds and gathering of milkfish fry. These concessions or territorial use rights are awarded annually by the resource owner (the municipality) to the highest bidder. In the case of milkfish fry gathering, the concessionaire assumes monopsonist rights of first purchase from fry gatherers. The implications of this system for economic efficiency and equity are discussed theoretically with supporting data from milkfish fry concessions in Antique Province. It is concluded that the system increases economic efficiency in resource use and generates significant income for municipalities which they can then redistribute as they see fit, and therefore not necessarily for the special benefit of fishermen. http://www.fao.org/docrep/003/T0509E/T0509e00.htm En oai:worldfishcenter.org:1997 2010-07-14 The fishes and their ecology Pauly, D. 1982 The WorldFish Center p. 15-33.

Fish Ecology Species An annotated list of 188 species of fishes recorded from San Miguel Bay, Philippines is presented. Of these, 48% are euryhaline marine species. The most abundant fishes belong to marine species whose representatives are known to seek brackish waters, especially when young. Such fish fauna characterizes San Miguel Bay as an estuary. A brief discussion follows of the distribution with regard to salinity of the Philippine fish fauna as a whole. The fish species of San Miguel Bay can be arranged into the following trophic groups: piscivores (23%), zooplanton feeders (18%), meiobenthos feeders (22%) and macrobenthos feeders (37%). The same ichthyofauna can also be split into the following groups: coastal pelagics (22%), oceanic pelgaics (3%), soft-bottom demersals (55%) and reef/hard-bottom demersals (20%). The role of the Bay as a nursery ground for fishes is discussed. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_1997.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:2017 2010-07-14 2008 Publications catalog The WorldFish Center 2009 WorldFish Center This catalog lists more than 100 refereed and non-refereed publications published by The WorldFish Center and papers contributed by the Center's scientists in 2008.

Programme ZoNéCo Purcell, S.W. Gossuin, H. Agudo, N.S. 2009 The WorlFish Center Echinoderm fisheries Surveys Fishery management Socioeconomic aspects Population density ISEW, Pacific, New Caledonia Holothurioidea Tridacna gigas Ex Trochus From October 2006 to May 2008, The WorldFish Center coordinated a ZoNéCo project to provide support to the Southern and Northern Provinces for decisions about how best to manage the sea cucumber fishery around La Grande Terre. We collected data during underwater population surveys, questionnaire-based interviews with fishers and processors, and landing catch surveys. A core aim was to furnish the Provinces with &lsquo;ballpark&rsquo; estimates of the abundance and density of commercially important sea cucumbers on 50 lagoon and barrier reefs. Analysis and synthesis of the ecological and sociological data provide the basis for informed recommendations for fisheries management. Counts of trochus and giant clams on the reefs allow us to also describe the general status of those resources. We propose 13 recommendations for management actions and fishery regulations and advocate an adaptive management approach. This multidisciplinary study should serve as a useful template for assessing other fisheries, and we provide a series of generic &lsquo;lessons learnt&rsquo; to aid future programmes. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_2033.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:2039 2010-07-14 Fisheries and HIV/AIDS in Africa: investing in sustainable solutions The WorldFish Center 2009 WorldFish Center The WorldFish Center and the UN FAO are currently implementing a regional programme entitled Fisheries and HIV/AIDS in Africa: investing in sustainable solutions. The programme, funded by SIDA and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, aims to strengthen regional capacity to develop sustainable solutions to enhance the contributions of fish and fisheries to development. In particular, the programme is building a strategic response to HIV/AIDS in the fisheries sector that will benefit vulnerable groups in wider society. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_2039.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:2040 2010-07-14 Posters on Fisheries and AIDS programmes in Africa The WorldFish Center 2009 WorldFish Center This poster outlines 3 key programmes undertaken in 8 countries in Africa: 1.

Kshatriya, M. 2008 The WorldFish Center Catch and Culture 14(3):16-21 In the absence of reliable data on the species composition of the catch in the Lower Mekong Basin, the authors look at three approaches to estimate the size of the region&rsquo;s migratory fish resources.The article, based on three different studies, concludes that 700,000 tonnes to 1.6 million tonnes of migratory fish are at risk. These possible losses correspond to respectively five times the size of the fishery sector in Finland and the whole fishery sector in Denmark. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_2041b.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:2044 2010-07-14 AsiaFish: the best can become better The WorldFish Center 2009 WorldFish Center Lesson learned 1903 AsiaFish is the most comprehensive analytical model available for Asia&rsquo;s seafood markets, and additional funding and collaboration can extend it to enable more complex analyses and projections or to serve other regions. http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_2044.pdf En oai:worldfishcenter.org:2062 2010-07-14 Traditional fisheries development in the Philippines.
