Download or read book Risk analysis in aquaculture written by Lind, C.E. and published by WorldFish. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is based on materials covered and outputs generated during the Workshop on Risk Assessment Methodologies and Tools for Aquaculture in Sub-Saharan Africa, which was jointly held by WorldFish and FAO in Siavonga, Zambia on 28 June - 2 July 2010. The workshop was delivered as a training exercise to 17 participants from seven sub-Saharan countries and was designed to highlight current methodologies and tools available for environmental risk analysis in aquaculture development. A key focus of the workshop was to encourage participants to consider hypothetical but realistic scenarios and to discuss issues relevant to evaluating the environmental risks of a given activity or scenario. This publication presents selected scenarios from the workshop and the outcomes of the deliberative process as developed by the participants. This publication is factual but not comprehensive, therefore any statements or estimations of risk do not represent the actual risks arising from the described scenario. It is intended to serve as an easily readable introduction to risk analysis, highlighting worked examples that will provide guidance on how a risk analysis may be approached in a similar situation.ÿ
Download or read book Understanding and Applying Risk Analysis in Aquaculture written by James Richard Arthur and published by Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk analysis, simply put, is "science-based decision-making." An integrated approach to risk analysis will assist the aquaculture sector in reducing risks to successful operations from both internal and external hazards and can similarly contribute to protect the environment, society and other resource users from adverse and often unpredicted impacts. This leads to improved profitability and sustainability of the sector, while at the same time improving the public's perception of aquaculture as a responsible, sustainable and environmentally-friendly activity. This document presents peer-reviewed technical papers and contributions from international experts.

Download or read book Application of Risk Assessment in the Fish Industry written by John Louis Sumner and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2004 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the concept of risk has become paramount in international food regulation, and industries are increasingly required to undertake product risk assessment, particularly in the export arena. This publication has been developed as a complete package on how to undertake risk assessment for use by seafood technologists, regulators and health professionals. It is designed in five parts to guide the user through the risk assessment process. This publication also includes a CD-ROM : the Resources Bank - that provides extensive additional information for the would-be risk assessor.
Download or read book A Primer on Risk Assessment Modelling written by Aamir M. Fazil and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is written as an introduction to the concepts of microbial risk assessment in general, but with a seafood focus and greater emphasis on the quantitative approach. The risk of food-borne disease is a combination of the likelihood of exposure to the pathogen, the likelihood of infection or intoxication resulting in illness and the severity of the illness. In a system as complex as the production and consumption of food, many factors affect both the likelihood and severity. To manage food safety effectively, a systematic means of examining these factors is necessary.
Download or read book Assessment and Communication of Environmental Risks in Coastal Aquaculture written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Fao. This book was released on 2008 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This GESAMP study presents a set of objectives, goals, methodologies and a checklist for assessment and communication of environmental risks which may be associated with coastal aquaculture. It is structured to improve risk communication and to ensure that risk assessment is a scientific exercise in predicting environmental change. A set of six case studies is also presented to illustrate the use of the environmental risk assessment methodologies. These examples of environmental interactions span a range of cultured species from fin fish to molluscs and shrimp.

Download or read book Recent advances in climate change vulnerability risk assessments in the fisheries and aquaculture sector written by Comte, A. and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vulnerability and risk assessment is an important tool that has been used in the fisheries and aquaculture sector to assess the current and potential consequences of climate change in a variety of geographical, environmental and socio-economic contexts and scales. The resulting information on risks and vulnerabilities can then feed decision-making on adaptation, including allocation of resources and prioritization of areas for action. However, there is no harmonized approach nor methodology to conduct vulnerability and risk assessments. This publication seeks to analyze the different existing methodologies in order to contribute to laying the basis of a consistent approach to design future climate vulnerability and risk assessments in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. The publication builds on the findings outlined in the FAO Technical Papers No. 597 “Assessing climate change vulnerability in fisheries and aquaculture - Available methodologies and their relevance for the sector” and No. 627 “Impacts of climate change on fisheries and aquaculture - Synthesis of current knowledge, adaptation and mitigation options” and explores the recent advances in approaches of vulnerability and risk assessments, and the methodological developments to conduct such assessments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidance will assist processors of fish and fishery products in the development of their Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) plans. Processors of fish and fishery products will find info. that will help them identify hazards that are associated with their products, and help them formulate control strategies. It will help consumers understand commercial seafood safety in terms of hazards and their controls. It does not specifically address safe handling practices by consumers or by retail estab., although the concepts contained in this guidance are applicable to both. This guidance will serve as a tool to be used by fed. and state regulatory officials in the evaluation of HACCP plans for fish and fishery products. Illustrations. This is a print on demand report.
