ADB is a steadfast partner of the WorldFish Center, having invested since 1987 more than US$7.6 million in WorldFish projects. Like ADB, WorldFish organizes its work regionally, maintaining an office for South Asia in Dhaka, Bangladesh; the Pacific in Noumea, New Caledonia; and the Greater Mekong Subregion in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. WorldFish combines East and Southeast Asia — two separate desks at ADB — under its headquarters in Penang and a Philippine country office in Los Baños. Additional country offices are planned for Indonesia and China.
This brouchure captures the essence of the work and projects with key partners by WorldFish in 2006. A balance sheet is also provided for reference.
The Workshop on Public-Private Partnerships for the Delivery of Tilapia Genetic Research Outputs to Philippine End-users was held in Angeles City, Philippines during 25-27 June 2003 to review and improve the protocol of public- private partnerships in disseminating tilapia genetic research outputs to end-users and formulate recommendations with implications on policy. Thirty-seven participants representing various stakeholder groups participated in the workshop.
Malaita is known as the most populous province of the Solomon Islands, with high outputs of agricultural produce from its land and significant populations of ‘sea people’ highly reliant on coastal ecosystems for food and livelihoods. As Malaita grows in population and develops economically, it will face increasing pressure on its fisheries and marine resources to feed its population and create sustainable livelihoods. In some areas, fishing pressure has already led to decline of key fish species, and malnutrition remains a problem.
This map indicates all FADs that have been deployed in Malaita from 2012 to 2020 and their current state as active or otherwise.
This factsheet includes a map that indicates activities undertaken by World Fish and the Malaita Provincial Fisheries Office to support community-based resource management of local marine resources and the current status of management as active or otherwise.
The 2019 Annual Report outlines WorldFish's achievements in quality science and innovations to shed light on, improve, and advocate for the role of aquatic food systems in the global food systems transformation. Through research outcome stories and impact numbers the report highlights efforts to improve aquatic foods’ vital contribution to healthier and sustainable diets, shared prosperity, and improved human and environmental health.
This nutrition brief outlines the rationale and focus of the Partnership for Aquaculture Development in Timor-Leste Phase 2 (PADTL2) project for enhancing the nutritional benefits of scaling out tilapia farming for targeted Timorese communities. The PADTL2 project (2020–2023) adopts a nutrition-sensitive approach focused on increasing the availability, accessibility, and consumption of fish.
