The Study on the Promotion of Inland Aquaculture for Rural Development in the Republic of Benin No. Department of Fisheries Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries Republic of Benin THE STUDY ON THE PROMOTION OF INLAND AQUACULTURE FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF BENIN FINAL REPORT MARCH 2009 JAPAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCY OVERSEAS AGRO FISHERIES CONSULTANTS CO., LTD. INTEM CONSULTING INC. RD JR 09-22 PREFACE In response to a request from the Government of the Republic of Benin, the Government of Japan decided to conduct a development study on the promotion of inland aquaculture and entrusted the study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). From April 2007 to February 2009, JICA sent to Benin a study team led by Mr. Masashi SATO of Overseas Agro-Fisheries Consultants Co., Ltd. The team held discussions with concerned officials from the Government of Benin, and conducted a field survey at the study area. After the team returned to Japan, further studies were made, and as a result, the present report was finalized. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of the friendly relationship between our two countries. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the concerned officials of the Government of the Republic of Benin for their close cooperation extended to the team. March 2009 Ariyuki Matsumoto Vice-President Japan International Cooperation Agency LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Mr. Ariyuki Matsumoto Vice-President Japan International Cooperation Agency Dear Mr. Matsumoto We are pleased to submit to you the Study Report on the promotion of inland aquaculture for rural development in the Republic of Benin. This study report is a compilation of the study results conducted by the study team, with close relations with the Department of Fishery, Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fishery and concerned organizations during the two-year period from April 2007 to March 2009. It consists of the orientation and concrete programs of the promotion of inland aquaculture for improvement of rural livelihood. We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the great understanding and cooperation received from concerned officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery as well as from your agency, during the study period. Additionally, as for the Government of the Republic of Benin, we would like to note the respectful cooperation that we received from the Department of Fisheries and other concerned officials of the Government.

Despite its long Pseudomonas history of consumption, little knowledge is available on the microbial consortia involved in the fermentation of Debaryomyces this fish. In the present study, a polyphasic approach based on both culturing and DNA-based techniqueswas 16S amplicon-based sequencing adopted to gain insight into the microbial species present in ready-to-eat hákarl.

Received: 27 December 2013; in revised form: 13 May 2014 / Accepted: 30 May 2014 / Published: 10 June 2014 Abstract: Two genetically improved tilapia strains (GIFT and Akosombo) have been created with Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia), which is native to Africa. In particular, GIFT has been shown to be significantly superior to local African tilapia strains in terms of growth rate. While development economists see the potential for food security and poverty reduction in Africa from culture of these new strains of tilapia, conservationists are wary of potential ecological and genetic impacts on receiving ecosystems and native stocks of tilapia. This study reviews the history of the GIFT technology, and identifies potential environmental and genetic risks of improved and farmed strains and tilapia in general. We also estimate the potential economic gains from the introduction of genetically improved strains in Africa, using Ghana as a case country.
