Estado Mundial de la Pesca Y la Acuicultura 2006


Book Description

Varias decadas atras, las administraciones publicas concentraban sus esfuerzos en fomentar la pesca y la acuicultura y asegurar el crecimiento de la produccion y el consumo de sus productos. En el decenio de 1980, cuando muchos recursos alcanzaron la plena explotacion o incluso una explotacion excesiva, los responsables de las politicas comenzaron a prestar mas atencion a la ordenacion pesquera ademas de ocuparse del fomento de la acuicultura. El reconocimiento subsiguiente de los numerosos fallos de la ordenacion ha llevado a los Estados Miembros de la FAO y otras partes interesadas a adoptar un planteamiento mas amplio, y la gobernanza, es decir, la suma de las disposiciones juridicas, sociales, economicas y politicas utilizadas en la ordenacion sostenible de la pesca y la acuicultura, se considera hoy como el trasfondo indispensable de su gestion. La expansion de la acuicultura continua, mientras que a nivel mundial las pesquerias marinas de captura consideradas en su conjunto parecen haber alcanzado un limite. A la luz de la importancia cada vez mayor de la acuicultura, El estado mundial de la pesca y la acuicultura 2006 termina con un examen de los retos con que se enfrenta el sector y las oportunidades que tiene ante si. El examen se basa en un analisis prospectivo del sector acuicola mundial realizado por la FAO en los dos ultimos anos. Esta publicacion incluye la 4 edicion del CD-ROM World Fisheries and Aquaculture Atlas de la FAO (disponible solo en ingles), en el que se presenta un panorama mundial completo de la pesca de capture y la acuicultura marinas y continentales."

Climate Change Impacts on Fisheries and Aquaculture


Book Description

The first comprehensive review of the current and future effects of climate change on the world’s fisheries and aquaculture operations The first book of its kind, Climate Change Impacts on Fisheries and Aquaculture explores the impacts of climate change on global fisheries resources and on marine aquaculture. It also offers expert suggestions on possible adaptations to reduce those impacts. The world's climate is changing more rapidly than scientists had envisioned just a few years ago, and the potential impact of climate change on world food production is quite alarming. Nowhere is the sense of alarm more keenly felt than among those who study the warming of the world's oceans. Evidence of the dire effects of climate change on fisheries and fish farming has now mounted to such an extent that the need for a book such as this has become urgent. A landmark publication devoted exclusively to how climate change is affecting and is likely to affect commercially vital fisheries and aquaculture operations globally, Climate Change Impacts on Fisheries and Aquaculture provides scientists and fishery managers with a summary of and reference point for information on the subject which has been gathered thus far. Covers an array of critical topics and assesses reviews of climate change impacts on fisheries and aquaculture from many countries, including Japan, Mexico, South Africa, Australia, Chile, US, UK, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, India and others Features chapters on the effects of climate change on pelagic species, cod, lobsters, plankton, macroalgae, seagrasses and coral reefs Reviews the spread of diseases, economic and social impacts, marine aquaculture and adaptation in aquaculture under climate change Includes special reports on the Antarctic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, the Arctic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea Extensive references throughout the book make this volume both a comprehensive text for general study and a reference/guide to further research for fisheries scientists, fisheries managers, aquaculture personnel, climate change specialists, aquatic invertebrate and vertebrate biologists, physiologists, marine biologists, economists, environmentalist biologists and planners.




The International Regime of Fisheries


Book Description

Until recently, the international community failed to adopt either an agreed limit for the breadth of the territorial sea or a satisfactory regime of fisheries in the waters adjacent to the territorial sea. This provoked an eruption of unilateral acts by which coastal states extended their jurisdiction towards the high seas. The Third U.N. Conference on the Law of the Sea accepted the establishment of a 12-mile territorial sea and a 200-mile exclusive economic zone. While taking into account the non-existent rights and interests of the so-called geographically disadvantaged states and of states with broad continental shelves, the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea practically ignored existing rights and interests of habitual fishing states. It maintained the well-established principle of freedom of fishing on the high seas but with specific conditions. Dissatisfied with the Convention's regulation of fishing on the high seas, a few states elected to hold a U.N. Conference on Straddling and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks which adopted the 1995 Agreement for the implementation of the provisions of the Convention relating to the conservation and management of such stocks. Similarly, some of these states, like Chile, Argentina, and Canada, adopted legislation extending their jurisdiction beyond their respective 200-mile fishing or exclusive economic zones. This book explores these events in the historical development of the international regulations of fisheries and concludes with a look into recent developments in the area.

Fisheries and Aquaculture


Book Description

This is the ninth volume of ten in the The Natural History of the Crustacea Series. The chapters in this volume synthesize the diverse topics in fisheries and aquaculture. In the first part of the book, chapters explore worldwide crustacean fisheries. This section comes to a conclusion with two chapters on harvested crustaceans that are usually not within the focus of the mainstream fisheries research, possibly because they are caught by local fishing communities in small-scale operations and sold locally as subsistence activity. In the second part of the book, the authors explore the variety of cultured crustacean species, like shrimps, prawns, lobsters, and crabs. Chapters in the third part of the volume focus on important challenges and opportunities, including diseases and parasitism, the use of crustacean as bioindicators, and their role in biotechnology.
