New: online course on Organization of Fisheries Statistics Systems (9-19 November 2020)

Timely, reliable and comprehensive statistics are required for the effective monitoring and management of sustainable capture fisheries. To respond to this need, the Statistics and Information Branch of the FAO Fisheries Division has organized the online advanced course on Organization of Fisheries Statistics Systems (9-19 November 2020), in collaboration with the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM), and through the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Zaragoza (IAMZ). Deadline for applications is 1 October 2020.

The course is targeted at fisheries managers, statisticians and researchers with responsibilities in fisheries data collection and the design, production and use of fisheries statistics in order to help them to design, plan and implement effective fisheries data collection programmes. The course covers topics going from the definition of the needs for statistics in support to fisheries management; the types of required data and collection systems; and the implementation of robust fisheries statistics and management information systems

The course will be offered online, in English, French and Spanish with simultaneous translation, with live streaming lectures, from FAO, the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM), Eurostat, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) and other national institutions.

Aquaculture can grow faster, raising micronutrient supply from fish

Fish farming will likely grow more than expected in the coming decade, offering a chance for improved nutrition for millions of people, especially in Asia and Africa, according to a new report.

Increased investment in the aquaculture sector - particularly in productivity-enhancing technologies including in the areas of water use, breeding, hatchery practices and feedstuff innovation - should boost farmed-fish production by as much as 4.14 percent per year through 2022, notably faster than the 2.54 percent growth forecast made earlier this year in a joint report by FAO and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Mozambique new home for South West Indian Ocean Fisheries Commission’s Secretariat

The Mozambique Minister of Fisheries, Mr Víctor Manuel Borges, and the Food and Agriculture Organization’s Assistant Director-General for Fisheries and Aquaculture, Mr Árni Mathiesen, signed on 12th November a Host Agreement of the South West Indian Ocean Fisheries Commission’s Secretariat.

At the ceremony, Mr Mathiesen said it is “a clear signpost in the history of SWIOFC; a new path just opened for all of us”. On behalf of the Government, Víctor Manuel Borges said that the signature of this Agreement is “an important step that shows Mozambique’s commitment towards the regional cooperation in fisheries”.

Until now, SWIOFC’s Secretariat was located in Harare, Zimbabwe. The country is home to the FAO Sub-Regional Office for Southern Africa but it is not a Member of the Commission. SWIOFC is composed of such costal states, which are FAO Members, whose territories are situated wholly or partly within the area of the Commission. Currently it has twelve Members: Comoros, France, Kenya, Madagascar, Maldives, Mauritius, Mozambique, Seychelles, Somalia, South Africa, United Republic of Tanzania, and Yemen.

Shark “ID” training in Seychelles and Mauritius

Fishers, observers and inspectors have learned how to “ID” sharks and rays thanks to the SmartFish “Sharks and Rays Initiative”. The initiative aims to: raise awareness about preserving the islands’ biodiversity; enable compliance with new international measures (e.g. CITES); and address global pressure on shark and ray conservation. International fora and instruments are increasingly highlighting the need to obtain information on species caught or affected by fisheries, either as target, bycatch or incidental catch.

The initiative has produced the “On Board Guide for the Identification of Pelagic Sharks and Rays (Western Indian Ocean)” – a handy tool for a wide range of users from both the public and private sectors. The guide is intended to help fishery workers to ID at sea the sharks and rays they encounter.
The initiative has also held two training workshops, one in Mauritius (28–30 October 2014) and the other in Seychelles (4–6 November 2014), to train professionals on how to use the guide and what to look for when trying to ID pelagic sharks and rays. At the end of the course, participants were expected to be able to: use the identification keys to ID pelagic sharks and rays; collect samples and biological data on the species; and be aware of CITES and IOTC measures. A similar workshop is planned for Madagascar and the Comoros in 2015.

FAO has long worked to improve shark management and conservation (e.g. the 1999 International Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Sharks). Today, 18 of the world’s 26 main shark-fishing nations have a national plan of action (NPOA) on sharks and 5 more are developing theirs. Seychelles is reviewing its NPOA, and Mauritius is developing one.

Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture of Africa gearing to up-scaling performance

A working group to review the statutes and procedures of the Committee for Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture of Africa (CIFAA) has been constituted so as to strengthen the work of the continental body.

This was agreed at an extraordinary session of the CIFAA held on 1 and 2 December 2014 in Lusaka, Zambia. Furthermore, the Regional Office for Africa (RAF) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department and the FAO Legal Counsel will provide technical assistance to the Working Group.

The Working Group, which will hold its first meeting in March 2015, shall also look at funding issues, funding mechanisms and working budgets, how to schedule sessions and also put under scrutiny issues of training and capacity development to be conducted through or facilitated by CIFAA. The Working Group shall then report its recommendations to a special session of CIFAA. Alhaji Jallow, CIFAA secretary, who was appointed facilitator and convener of the meetings, will work towards aligning the statutes and rules of procedures of CIFAA with relevant intergovernmental and economic fora in Africa.
