Capture-based aquaculture makes use of wild fish and fishery resources in its production systems. Focusing on this subject, this document addresses selected key issues of sustainability in relation to current global aquaculture practices and developments. It includes two review papers on the use of wild resources, one covering social and economic aspects and the other on environmental and biodiversity issues, as well as ten papers on selected marine and freshwater species used in capture-based aquaculture.

The workshop consisted of technical presentations and working group discussions. The technical presentations included regional reviews, case studies, a global synthesis and a number of invited presentations. The workshop served to address various thematic areas and other issues of significance emerging from the regional reviews and case studies: fisheries management, policy development, food security, poverty alleviation, social and ethical issues, aquaculture technology and development.

The workshop, attended by stakeholders from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkey and Uzbekistan, recognized that the Code provides a suitable framework and guide for environmentally compatible, socially acceptable and economically viable development and management of the fisheries sector in the Central Asian region. It was noted that some of the countries in the region (e.g. Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan) are using the Code as guidance in their policy and legal framework development.

Towards integrated assessment and advice in small-scale fisheries. Principles and processes

FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Technical paper No. 515

Conventional assessment frameworks do not provide an adequate basis for informed management decisions and development planning of the small-scale fisheries subsector. Normative management frameworks and approaches have been developed as an evolution of conventional fisheries management, such as the 1995 FAO code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and the ecosystem approach to fisheries. This document presents the conceptual basis of the integrated assessment and advisory process, introduces the framework and places the assessment within the broader planning and management cycle.

Beyond relief. Food security in protracted crises

Co-published with and available form Practical Action Publishing, UK. In many countries, prolonged conflicts result in food emergencies that recur over years or even decades. Initial humanitarian relief efforts are rarely replaced by programmes that offer a longer-term perspective on food security. This book provides examples of opportunities to bridge the gap between emergency relief and longer term developmental approaches, which can help us rethink how to support food security in protracted crises. Somalia, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo have all been affected by severe protracted crises. For the first time, evidence and in-depth analysis from these countries sheds light on how to support the livelihoods of local populations. Using concrete examples, Beyond Relief demonstrates how food security means different things in different contexts while also advocating a crosscutting learning process for longer-term approaches to protracted crisis. This collection is essential reading for donors, policymakers, NGO workers and researchers working on food security.

Disaster risk management systems analysis. A guide book

Environment and natural resources management series No. 13

Disaster Risk Management (DRM) combines, through a management perspective, the concept of prevention, mitigation and preparedness with response to the rising frequency and severity of natural hazards and disasters. There are few practical tools available to guide the analysis of national, district and local institutional systems for DRM. This guide fills this gap by providing a set of tools that have been developed and tested in field projects, with particular reference to disaster-prone areas and vulnerable sectors and population groups.
