Las Directrices para el ecoetiquetado de pescado y productos pesqueros de la pesca de captura marina son facultativas. Éstas se aplican a los sistemas  de ecoetiquetado cuya finalidad es certificar y promover etiquetas para los  productos de una pesca de captura marina bien ordenada, y se centran en las  cuestiones relacionadas con la utilización sostenible de los recursos  pesqueros. Las directives se refieren a principios, consideraciones  generales, términos y definiciones, requisitos sustantivos mínimos y  criterios,...

This circular provides an assessment of the technical practicability, advantages, constraints and cost of using electronic reporting as part of the biennial survey on the implementation of the 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. In this context, electronic reporting is defined as conducting a survey (questionnaire) electronically in a format that enables statistical analysis and reports to be generated without re-entering the survey information manually. Two types of electronic reporting are investigated: spreadsheet-based...

This circular analyses the implementation and the impact of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries since 1995. In doing so, it first establishes a picture of fisheries and aquaculture sectors before the publication of the Code and 13 years after, in order to detect major changes in both sectors. While fundamental changes in the fisheries sector remained few, the aquaculture sector displays a rather important degree of change, where practices in farm management...

Many rivers, lakes and other inland waters have been modified and degraded by human activities. Rehabilitation of degraded systems and mitigation of impacts of ongoing stresses are needed to preserve ecosystem services and fisheries, and are of a high priority if the aquatic biodiversity of inland waters is to be conserved. A number of technical solutions for rehabilitation and mitigation are available to restore habitat diversity, provide for environmental flows and ensure longitudinal and lateral...

These technical guidelines have been developed to support sections of FAO’s Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries on aspects of genetic resource management in aquaculture. Guidance is provided on broodstock management and domestication, genetic improvement programmes, dissemination programmes for genetically improved fish, economic considerations in genetic improvement programmes, risk assessment and monitoring, culture-based fisheries, conservation of fish genetic resources, gene banks, a precautionary approach and public relations. The effective management of genetic resources, risk assessment...
