Ref.: 2222
Every year tropical shrimp trawl fisheries generate millions of tonnes of bycatch. In some countries bycatch is an important source of income and contributes to food supply; in others, bycatch is discarded at sea. This FAO training video,filmed on location in Mexico, the Philippines and FAO headquarters in Rome, explores the issues and solutions to better manage bycatch and reduce discards in tropical shrimp fisheries.
Les exportations de crevettes rapportent chaque année 8 milliards de dollars américains aux pays en développement et créent des centaines de milliers d'emplois. Cependant, la pêche au chalut de la crevette a un impact négatif sur l'environnement. Un projet de la FAO propose de nouvelles technologies afin de traiter le problème.
Exports of shrimp by developing countries earn them US$8 billion a year and provide employment to hundreds of thousands of people. But shrimp trawling has negative impacts on the environment. An FAO project is introducing new technologies to deal with the problem.
Los países en desarrollo ganan cada año 8 mil millones de dólares por las exportaciones de camarones, dando trabajo al mismo tiempo a cientos de miles de personas. Pero la pesca de camarón por arrastre provoca impactos negativos en el medio ambiente. Un proyecto de FAO está introduciendo nuevas tecnologías para enfrentar este problema.

Cada año, las pesquerías tropicales de arrastre de camarón generan millones de toneladas de capturas incidentales. En algunos países, la pesca incidental es una fuente importante de ingresos y contribuye al suministro de alimentos; en otros, las capturas son regresadas al mar. Este video de formación de la FAO, realizado en algunos lugares de Méjico, las Filipinas y en la sede de la FAO en Roma, explora los asuntos y las soluciones para una mejor ordenación de la pesca incidental y para reducir los descartes en las pesquerías tropicales de camarón.

The Information Division produces video programmes in
several languages on a broad range of subjects including
agriculture, forestry, fisheries and rural
development. All videos are available in professional
broadcast standards for television stations.
An important facet of the division's work is the
diversified assistance it provides to television networks
around the world. It offers a variety of services, from
the provision of background information for the preparation of
programmes that are relevant to FAO's work to setting up
interviews with FAO staff. At FAO headquarters in Rome, there is a video
studio complete with the latest editing and
post-production equipment that produces material for
broadcast.
