Download or read book Post-harvest Fish Loss Assessment in Small-scale Fisheries written by Yvette Diei-Ouadi and published by Fao Fisheries and Aquaculture. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Load Tracking is used to quantify losses at stages along the distribution chain or losses related to specific activities, such as fishing, transport, processing and marketing. Key data related to the cause and effects of losses from an IFLAM study are validated using the QLAM before any suitable intervention is introduced. A combination of the IFLAM, LT and QLAM could then be used to monitor and evaluate the effects of an intervention. Illustrative examples and case studies are presented to facilitate the uptake and use of the methods in systematic fish loss assessment. This fieldwork tool also enlightens the extension officer on how to communicate the data from the assessments and the design of loss reduction interventions to help policy-planners and decision-makers understand important issues facing fishing communities.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field work recently carried out in five sub-Saharan Africa (Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Tanzania and Uganda) indicates that post-harvest fish losses in small-scale fisheries occur at all stages in the fish supply chain from capture to consumer. This technical paper, as support to the framework of the regional post-harvest loss assessment (PHLA) programme in small-scale fisheries in Africa aimed at improving the utilisation, safety and quality of fishery products, presents the findings, lessons learned and key achievements of the field studies. The paper underlines the need for governments and development agencies to ensure that changes in post-harvest fisheries-related policy and practices take stock of the loss assessment tools, information generated and experience of the programme and recommends that fish loss assessments should be incorporated into national data collection systems and used to regularly inform policy.

They were developed for small-scale fisheries in close collaboration with representatives of small-scale fisheries organizations in a participatory process between 2011-13, involving over 4000 stakeholders; facilitated by FAO, based on a mandate by COFI. They are directed at all those involved in the sector and intend to guide and encourage governments, fishing communities and other stakeholders to work together and ensure secure and sustainable small-scale fisheries for the benefit of small-scale fishers, fish workers and their communities as well as for society at large.
Book Synopsis Stock Assessment by : Vincent F. Gallucci
Download or read book Stock Assessment written by Vincent F. Gallucci and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1995-10-25 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stock Assessment: Quantitative Methods and Applications for Small Scale Fisheries is a book about stock assessment as it is practiced. It focuses on applications for small scale or artisanal fisheries in developing countries, however it is not limited in applicability to tropical waters and should also be considered a resource for students of temperate fishery management problems. It incorporates a careful sample design, various mathematical models as a basis for predicting consequences for stock exploitation, and discusses the impact of exploitation on non-targeted species. This was a unique concept involving a collaborative effort between U.S. and host country scientists to address issues of regional and global concern through innovative research. Unlike other books on stock assessment that show mathematical models, this is the only book of its kind that discusses how an assessment is carried out. It looks at the field as a whole and includes sampling, age determination and acoustics. The book represents the culmination of a nine-year program financed by the United States Agency for International Development to provide new or improved methods of stock assessment for artisanal fisheries.

Book Synopsis Gender and food loss in sustainable fish value chains in Africa by : Randrianantoandro, A., Ward, W., Safa Barraza, A.
Download or read book Gender and food loss in sustainable fish value chains in Africa written by Randrianantoandro, A., Ward, W., Safa Barraza, A. and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food losses are a major concern and occur in most fish distribution chains worldwide. Not only do losses constitute lost income to fishers, processors, and traders, but they also contribute to food insecurity. Progress has been made in identifying the direct causes of fish losses and quantifying the magnitude of the loss. However, loss reduction strategies have tended to focus on technological solutions and hence have overlooked the relevance of socio-economic factors, including gender relations, that influence the functioning of the fisheries value chain. This document provides guidance on integrating gender concerns into food loss interventions within the fish value chains. It describes the different steps to understand the key components of a gender-sensitive food loss value chain analysis. In particular, it recommends highlighting the dynamics and factors that influence women’s and men’s natural social disposition and participation in fisheries activities according to dominant assigned gender roles. While addressing the existing knowledge gaps and contributing to the development of an approach tailored to African small-scale fish value chains, this document also provides introductory information on the application of the FAO Gender-Responsive Fish Loss Assessment Methodology (GRFLAM).
Book Synopsis Increasing the Contribution of Small-scale Fisheries to Poverty Alleviation and Food Security by : Christophe Béné
Download or read book Increasing the Contribution of Small-scale Fisheries to Poverty Alleviation and Food Security written by Christophe Béné and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2007 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third and main section of the document discusses ways of increasing the contribution of small-scale fisheries to poverty alleviation and food security through nine main entry points. First, the paper revisits conventional fisheries policies and legislation and makes suggestions on how those can be made more pro-poor. Next, the paper emphasizes the importance of capacity building and highlights how cross-sectoral interventions can greatly improve the livelihoods of fish-dependent communities. The paper then proposes a series of broad pro-poor or pro-small-scale fisheries principles, before discussing in greater detail three of the main management instruments adopted in fisheries: (i) property right approaches; (ii) co-management; and (iii) protected areas. The next two sub-sections discuss markets and how to make them work for the poor, and the important issue of pro-poor financing systems and subsidies.

Download or read book Securing sustainable small-scale fisheries: Showcasing applied practices in value chains, post-harvest operations and trade written by Zelasney, J. ; Ford, A, ; Westlund, L. ; Ward, A. and Riego Peñarubia, O. eds. and published by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SSF Guidelines recognize the right of fishers and fishworkers, acting both individually and collectively, to improve their livelihoods through value chains, post-harvest operations and trade. To achieve this, the Guidelines recommend building capacity of individuals, strengthening organizations and empowering women; reducing post-harvest losses and adding value to small-scale fisheries production; and facilitating sustainable trade and equitable market access. This document includes nine studies showcasing applied practices and successful initiatives in support of enhancing small-scale fisheries value chains, post-harvest operations and trade, based on the recommendations contained in the SSF Guidelines. Cases presented have been chosen on the basis that they can be emulated elsewhere by small-scale fishery proponents including, but not limited to, national administrations, non-governmental organizations, civil society organizations, private enterprises, development agencies and intergovernmental bodies. An analysis of enabling conditions as well as related challenges and opportunities are discussed in each case. The document supports the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – specifically SDG 14.b: “provide access for small-scale artisanal fishers to marine resources and markets”; and SDG 2.3: “by 2030 double the agricultural productivity and the incomes of small-scale food producers, particularly women, indigenous peoples, family farmers, pastoralists and fishers, including through secure and equal access to land, other productive resources and inputs, knowledge, financial services, markets and opportunities for value addition and non-farm employment”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1964 the Lake Kariba Fisheries Research Institute (LKFRI) was created in Kariba, Rhodesia as a United Nations Development Program Project, and executed by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAD) in cooperation with the Governments of Rhodesia and Zambia. Dr. A. G. COCHE took charge of the Limnological Section and conducted research on the entire lake between January 1965 and January 1966. In 1966 the Central Fisheries Research Institute (CFRI) was created in Chilanga, Zambia by the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and National Parks. It was also supported by a UNDP Project executed by FAD. Between 1967 and 1971 Dr. E. K. BALON & Dr. A. G. COCHE were in charge of the Sections of Ichthyobiology and of Limnology respectively. The results of their FAD research activities on Lake Kariba are united in this volume. In the first part A. G. COCHE presents a limnological synthesis. In the second part E. K. BALON studies in detail the fish production and succession. The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily coincide with those of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual aims at providing practical guidance on how to achieve gender-equitable small-scale fisheries in the context of the implementation of the SSF Guidelines. Women play a key role, in particular in post-harvest activities relating to processing, marketing and trade, but their role remains undervalued. Within the broader context of the FAO Blue Growth Initiative, this publication therefore contributes to SP 1 Outcome 101 - Member countries and their development partners make explicit poli tical commitments in the form of policies, investment plans, programmes, legal frameworks and the allocation of necessary resources to eradicate hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition. The target audience for this manual is twofold: (i) policy makers/public administrations working on small-scale fisheries will be informed about ways to ensure gender-sensitive policies, investments and small-scale fisheries sector support, (ii) CSOs/Fisheries organizations will receive guidance on how to active ly support the empowerment of women in small-scale fisheries. However, this publication is also relevant for other audiences who can provide a support function to the to key audiences, namely: academia/research, donors/resource partners, FAO staff.

Book Synopsis Profitability and trade-offs in the use of the FAO-Thiaroye processing technique (FTT) in Ghana by : Charway, G.N.A.
Download or read book Profitability and trade-offs in the use of the FAO-Thiaroye processing technique (FTT) in Ghana written by Charway, G.N.A. and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2023-04-29 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The FAO-Thiaroye Processing Technique (FTT) was introduced in Ghana in 2014 following an earlier initiative by FAO, in collaboration with the Centre National de Formation des Techniciens de Pêche et de l’Aquaculture (National Training Centre for Fisheries and Aquaculture Technicians, CNFTPA) in Senegal, to reduce post-harvest losses in small-scale fisheries and support the production of healthy fishery products. Since its introduction to Ghana, and with continuous collaboration from the Fisheries Commission of Ghana, FAO has constructed or provided assistance for the construction of FTT units for 13 fish processor groups and 15 individuals in four regions of Ghana – Greater Accra, Central, Volta, Western and Western North. A gap analysis was undertaken to understand the extent of, and the barriers to, the adoption, development, introduction and dissemination of the FTT in Ghana. The assessment combined both desk survey and field study of some traditional and FTT smoking facilities. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used in the study. The adoption of the FTT was determined and data from field surveys was analysed using simple graphs. From the results of the cost–benefit analysis, it was deduced that the FTT is better placed and superior to the Chorkor kilns in terms of economic profitability in ensuring the well-being of both processor and consumer; and financial profitability and return on investment. With the above inferences from the findings and lessons learned from visits to some of the FTT processing facilities, key recommendations were made and it is anticipated that these will enable future investments and the adoption and wider use of the FTT by more processors.
