The region currently produces almost 50 percent of the world’s fish from capture fisheries and 90 percent from aquaculture. Fish and fisheries are important in supplying animal protein and nutrition to a large part of the Asian-Pacific populations, and are increasingly becoming an important source of income and trade for the region. There are many differences, most obviously geographical, between the sub-regions and seas of the region, but there are also many common trends that will have a large impact on the future supply of fish. One alarming trend is the rapid decline in the status of coastal fishery resources and ecosystems throughout the region. Aquaculture production is increasing, with a large part of this increase being driven by massive growth in China. However, much of this aquaculture growth is dependent on the use of “trash fish” for feeding the cultured species (either directly or by processed fish meal/oil), and is not sustainable in the long term unless major changes take place in the management of capture fisheries and in aquaculture practices. This report provides an excellent summary of the major trends and future potential for fisheries and aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific region and provides an insight into the many challenges that will need to be addressed if fisheries and aquaculture are to continue to contribute significantly to food security and poverty reduction in the region. He Changchui Assistant Director-General and Regional Representative FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific iii Preparation of this document This document was prepared for the twenty-eighth session of the Asia-Pacific Fishery Commission (APFIC), which was held in Chang Mai, Thailand from 3 to 5 August 2004. With this session, APFIC has assumed a new role as a “regional consultative forum”, embarking on a new chapter in its endeavour to respond effectively to the changing requirements in the fisheries and aquaculture sector in the region. In support of the work of the Forum, APFIC is committed to improving the quality of information on the status and trends of fisheries and aquaculture in the region and to regularly reviewing and analysing the information. This document is aimed at informing APFIC member States of the current status and potential of fisheries and aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific region as well as the emerging issues facing the sector. Abstract Sugiyama, S., Staples, D. & Funge-Smith, S.J. 2004. Status and potential of fisheries and aquaculture in Asia and the Pacific. FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific. RAP Publication 2004/25. 53 pp. The fisheries and aquaculture sector is of fundamental importance to the Asia-Pacific region providing opportunities for revenue generation and employment, and contributing to food security. This document reviews the current status of inland and marine fisheries resources and their contribution to national economies and food security. Regional fishery data and information stored in FAO databases are analysed to provide a comprehensive picture of production trends of fisheries and aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific region, which is further illustrated by a detailed view of sub-regions and aquaculture production by species groups. It also touches upon issues that require closer attention in order for the fisheries resources to be managed in a responsive and sustainable manner. iv Geographical scope of this review States and areas This review covers the States and entities of the Asia-Pacific region that report fisheries and aquaculture statistics to FAO, and which are within the area of competence of the Asia-Pacific Fishery Commission.

  • Hormone-Induced Spawning of Cultured Tropical Finfishes
    ADVANCES IN TROPICAL AQUACULTURE. Tahiti, Feb. 20 - March 4 1989 AQUACOP 1FREMER Acres de Colloque 9 pp. 519 F39 49 Hormone-induced spawning of cultured tropical finfishes C.L. MARTE Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Genie. Aquaculture Department, Tig- bauan, ILOILO, Philippines Abstract — Commercially important tropical freshwater and marine finfishes are commonly spawned with pituitary homogenate, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and semi-purified fish gonadotropins. These preparations are often adminis- tered in two doses, a lower priming dose followed a few hours later by a higher resolving dose. Interval between the first and second injections may vary from 3 - 24 hours depending on the species. Variable doses are used even for the same species and may be due to variable potencies of the gonadotropin preparations. Synthetic analogues of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRHa) are becoming widely used for inducing ovulation and spawning in a variety of teleosts. For marine species such as milkfish, mullet, sea bass, and rabbitfish, a single LHRHa injection or pellet implant appears to be effective. Multiple spawnings of sea bass have also been obtained following a single injection or pellet implant of a high dose of LHRHa. In a number of freshwater fishes such as the cyprinids, LHRHa alone however has limited efficacy. Standardized methods using LHRHa together with the dopamine antagonists pimozide, domperidone and reserpine have been developed for various species of carps. The technique may also be applicable for spawning marine teleosts that may not respond to LHRHa alone or where a high dose of the peptide is required. Although natural spawning is the preferred method for breeding cultivated fish, induced spawning may be necessary to control timing and synchrony of egg production for practical reasons.

  • Does Climate Change Bolster the Case for Fishery Reform in Asia? Christopher Costello∗
    Does Climate Change Bolster the Case for Fishery Reform in Asia? Christopher Costello∗ I examine the estimated economic, ecological, and food security effects of future fishery management reform in Asia. Without climate change, most Asian fisheries stand to gain substantially from reforms. Optimizing fishery management could increase catch by 24% and profit by 34% over business- as-usual management. These benefits arise from fishing some stocks more conservatively and others more aggressively. Although climate change is expected to reduce carrying capacity in 55% of Asian fisheries, I find that under climate change large benefits from fishery management reform are maintained, though these benefits are heterogeneous. The case for reform remains strong for both catch and profit, though these numbers are slightly lower than in the no-climate change case. These results suggest that, to maximize economic output and food security, Asian fisheries will benefit substantially from the transition to catch shares or other economically rational fishery management institutions, despite the looming effects of climate change. Keywords: Asia, climate change, fisheries, rights-based management JEL codes: Q22, Q28 I. Introduction Global fisheries have diverged sharply over recent decades. High governance, wealthy economies have largely adopted output controls or various forms of catch shares, which has helped fisheries in these economies overcome inefficiencies arising from overfishing (Worm et al. 2009) and capital stuffing (Homans and Wilen 1997), and allowed them to turn the corner toward sustainability (Costello, Gaines, and Lynham 2008) and profitability (Costello et al. 2016). But the world’s largest fishing region, Asia, has instead largely pursued open access and input controls, achieving less long-run fishery management success (World Bank 2017).

  • Clean &Unclean Meats
    Clean & Unclean Meats God expects all who desire to have a relationship with Him to live holy lives (Exodus 19:6; 1 Peter 1:15). The Bible says following God’s instructions regarding the meat we eat is one aspect of living a holy life (Leviticus 11:44-47). Modern research indicates that there are health benets to eating only the meat of animals approved by God and avoiding those He labels as unclean. Here is a summation of the clean (acceptable to eat) and unclean (not acceptable to eat) animals found in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. For further explanation, see the LifeHopeandTruth.com article “Clean and Unclean Animals.” BIRDS CLEAN (Eggs of these birds are also clean) Chicken Prairie chicken Dove Ptarmigan Duck Quail Goose Sage grouse (sagehen) Grouse Sparrow (and all other Guinea fowl songbirds; but not those of Partridge the corvid family) Peafowl (peacock) Swan (the KJV translation of “swan” is a mistranslation) Pheasant Teal Pigeon Turkey BIRDS UNCLEAN Leviticus 11:13-19 (Eggs of these birds are also unclean) All birds of prey Cormorant (raptors) including: Crane Buzzard Crow (and all Condor other corvids) Eagle Cuckoo Ostrich Falcon Egret Parrot Kite Flamingo Pelican Hawk Glede Penguin Osprey Grosbeak Plover Owl Gull Raven Vulture Heron Roadrunner Lapwing Stork Other birds including: Loon Swallow Albatross Magpie Swi Bat Martin Water hen Bittern Ossifrage Woodpecker ANIMALS CLEAN Leviticus 11:3; Deuteronomy 14:4-6 (Milk from these animals is also clean) Addax Hart Antelope Hartebeest Beef (meat of domestic cattle) Hirola chews
