Book excerpt: FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Circulars All Near East and North Africa countries have sea borders, whereas fresh water resources are scarce. Yet, aquaculture production in the region has doubled over the past decade, with an average annual growth rate of 9.7 percent, and the role of aquaculture in total fish production is steadily increasing. It should be noted that the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Islamic Republic of Iran contributed 74 and 21 percent respectively to total aquaculture output.

This book was released on 2022-01-12 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document summarizes the status and trends of aquaculture development in North America, focusing on Canada and the United States of America, with some discussion on Bermuda, Greenland, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon. Relevant aspects of the social and economic background of each country are followed by a description of current and evolving aquaculture practices and the needs of the industry in terms of resources, services and technologies. Impacts of aquaculture practices on the environment are discussed, followed by a consideration of the response by the industry to market demands and opportunities, and its contribution to social and economic development at regional, national and international levels. External pressures on the sector are described, including climate change and economic events, along with associated changes in governance. The review concludes with an analysis of the contributions of North American aquaculture to the Sustainable Development Goals, the FAO Strategic Objectives, and the FAO Blue Growth Initiative. Throughout the review, outstanding issues and success stories are identified, and a way forward is suggested for each main topic.

Book excerpt: The Near East and North Africa (NENA) region covers 18 countries and territories: Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syrian Arab Republic, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Western Sahara and Yemen with a total land area of 9.8 million km2. The region is mostly arid or semi-arid but has extensive coastlines and includes a wide range of different economies from high income, hydrocarbon-rich countries to low-income states, some of which have been severely impacted by conflict in recent years. NENA aquaculture production was worth USD 2.3 billion in 2018, two-thirds of which came from Egypt and around one-quarter from Saudi Arabia. Production has grown rapidly since the 1980s, more than doubling over ten years and increasing by 50 percent over the five years preceding 2018 to reach 1.7 million tonnes. Egyptian fish farms accounted for 92 percent of production and Saudi Arabia for 4.2 percent while other significant producers included Iraq (25 737 tonnes), Tunisia (21 826 tonnes), Algeria (5 100 tonnes), the United Arab Emirates (3 350 tonnes) and the Syrian Arab Republic (2 350 tonnes). Although current aquaculture production levels are low, all these countries have high ambitions with further developing the sector, often for improved food self-sufficiency.

This book was released on 2022-01-06 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review provides an overview of the status, trends, challenges and projections for aquaculture in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and evaluates the major trends during previous five years. While the sector still faces various internal and external challenges, the inherent natural potential of the region and rapidly increasing demand for fish has resulted in increased prioritization of aquaculture in almost all SSA countries and the African Union and subsidiary bodies have given special attention to the sector development. In order to realize its full potential, the SSA region needs to address a combination of overarching factors limiting aquaculture development so far, such as ineffective development approaches, weak governance frameworks, underdeveloped value chains and low availability as well as the high cost of key production inputs. Strengthened value chains for tilapia and catfish, promotion of new species, improved biosecurity, continued development of certification and associated harmonized best practices, improved information systems and innovations to address climate-change related impacts are some of the matters to be addressed. Financial institutions and private sector (national and international) have equally started investing, even though in the global picture such interventions may seem negligible, which makes the continent to call for more and higher levels technical and financial assistance from international partners. Upscale the status of production and productivity via healthy investments would help the sector to generate a variety of benefits including food security, livelihoods, employment, domestic and intra-regional markets, foreign currency income and other socio-economic benefits.

Book excerpt: This review covers the vast Asia-Pacific region comprising Oceania, South, Southeast, East and Central Asia. The outstanding regional characteristics are the dominance (except in Central Asia) of small-scale mostly commercially oriented farms, the dominance of cultured freshwater species in number and output and, as a recent FAO survey reveals, the low productivity of labour and the low employment multiplier of aquaculture in general, except in Oceania. These are circumscribed by the diminishing availability of land and freshwater, climate change and globalization of trade. The governance of the sector has set them towards the proper direction to acquire these capacities; its main features are the increasing use of market-based incentives and the adoption by farmers of voluntary governance mechanisms that include better management practices (BMPs) and codes of conduct (CoCs), bolstered by their association. Guided by progressive policies and regulations, these have shown that they can stimulate higher production, enable better returns, induce responsible farming practices, and produce higher quality and safer aquatic products. This, in capsule, is the major lesson from the region's recent history of aquaculture development. The challenge is to widely promote, adopt and sustain it in practice.
