Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African aquaculture production has gradually increased over the years, but progress is still slow. Given large variations between African countries with regard to the availability of water, the macro-economic context, access to capture fisheries resources and other factors, the performance of African countries in aquaculture cannot be considered only by absolute production levels or contribution to GDP. Additional indicators must be considered that also take into account the role of aquaculture as a source of food supply as well as other macro-economic variables, such as population size and natural resource endowment. To this end, relevant data were collected for 54 African countries covering a range of indicators, drawing on existing data collections of the World Bank and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The need for development of the sector and its potentials are identified by assessing African countries' performance with regard to the role of aquaculture as a source of food supply, absolute and per capita production volumes and values (including changes over time), and the economic importance of the sector. The contribution of aquaculture to national fish supply is highest in Egypt. Lesotho features second in this indicator, but much of the production is targeted at the export market as confirmed by the low level of per capita fish supply. The greatest gap between per capita fish supply and average African fish supply was recorded for Ethiopia (followed by Guinea-Bissau and Sudan). Egypt also leads African aquaculture in terms of absolute production volumes and value (followed by Nigeria). In 2018, Egypt's production was more than twice the total production of all the remaining African countries put together. In terms of production growth rates over the past decade, however, other countries stand out, including Rwanda, Burundi, Lesotho and Benin, albeit starting from a low base. Lesotho, South Africa and Mauritius lead in the value of production per tonne due to the cultivation of a number of high-value species for export. In terms of the economic importance of the aquaculture sector, its contribution to GDP is highest in Egypt, followed somewhat surprisingly by Lesotho, a country in which there was no aquaculture a mere two decades ago and where today the sector is a significant earner of foreign currency. Egypt also leads with regard to output relative to available renewable water resources (followed by Uganda). The study outlines a number of policy and investment priorities to support the growth of a sustainable, climate-resilient and equitable aquaculture sector in Africa as an integral part of food systems. Particular attention should be paid to engaging and building the capacities of small-scale actors in this sector to contribute to local food security, employment and income generation.

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.

This book was released on 2024-04-17 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many countries are promoting aquaculture as one of the prime drivers of the rural economy and the employment of women and youth. [Author] However, the industry is criticized for inadequately representing the needs of workers. [Author] Most African countries have shown a willingness to advance industry goals through domestic programme planning and facilitating foreign direct investment. [Author] However, there is a need for coherent strategies for employment governance. [Author] Hence, immediate change is required to modify the governance of aquaculture employment to foster industrial transformation. [Author] The objective of this research is to enhance understanding of the governance of aquaculture employment in ten African countries (Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Uganda and Zambia) and to determine their level of compliance with existing employment legislation in those countries. [Author] The ultimate goal is to learn from both positive and negative lessons and propose possible corrective measures for substandard practices in order to improve the public perception of aquaculture. [Author] The study seeks to evaluate existing employment governance in the aquaculture industry and to use the acquired knowledge to inform policymakers and industry leaders on the status of governance in employment.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 3. This document identifies elements of a legislation that will encourage the emergence of a sustainable commercial aquaculture. The aquaculture law of an individual country must provide the operator with a secure right to conduct aquaculture operations, to the property on which the farm will be located, to good quality water and to the produce. It must also ensure environmental sustainability, through permit or licence systems, without imposing unnecessary costs on applicants. Only proposals with the potential for serious environmental harm should be subjected to a full environmental impact assessment. Environmental supervision must extend to controls over the use of exotic species and products from modern biotechnology including genetically modified organisms, disease control and health management and to any water quality concerns created by the proposed project. To minimise costs, countries are encouraged to adopt a single window approach for the numerous approvals usually required for an aquaculture operation and screen initial applications. They could also consider creating a single agency to promote aquaculture and to monitor the progress of applications. Aquaculture regimes of selected African countries are measured against the elements required to encourage sustainable commercial aquaculture, and improvements that are applicable to all countries in sub-Sahara are suggested.
