Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry, Stockholm. Fisheries and aquaculture both contribute to meeting the Millennium Development Goals but vulnerability to climate change threatens the contribution that they make to development. Impacts of climate change on small-scale fisheries are of great relevance to poverty reduction. Poverty undermines the resilience of social-ecological systems such as fisheries. The majority of the world¡¯s 250 million fisherfolk lives in areas that are highly exposed to climate change. A combination of climate-related stresses and widespread overexploitation of fisheries reduces the scope for adaptation and increases risks of stock collapse. Aquaculture can utilize aquatic resources of marginal economic value and can provide a diversification strategy in the face of environmental change but is also susceptible to external risk factors, including climate change. This chapter examines the concepts of vulnerability, adaptive capacity, and resilience in relation to discussion on adaptation to climate change.

Badjeck, M.C. ; Allison, E.H. ; Halls, A.S. ; Dulvy, N.K. 2009. Impacts of climate variability and change on fishery-based livelihoods. Marine Policy [Online]. There is increasing concern over the consequences of global warming for the food security and livelihoods of the world¡¯s 36 million fisherfolk and the nearly 1.5 billion consumers who rely on fish for more than 20% of their dietary animal protein. With mounting evidence of the impacts of climate variability and change on aquatic ecosystems, the resulting impacts on fisheries livelihoods are likely to be significant, but remain a neglected area in climate adaptation policy. Drawing upon our research and the available literature, and using a livelihoods framework, this paper synthesizes the pathways through which climate variability and change impact fisherfolk livelihoods at the household and community level.

Dulvy, N. ; Allison, E. 2009. A place at the table? (Commentary). p. 68-70. Nature Report: climate change Vol. 3. International organizations are calling for fisheries to be included in a new global deal on climate change. A consortium of 16 organizations including the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Bank and the WorldFish Center issued a policy brief to delegates meeting in Bonn from June 1-12 for the latest round of UN climate talks. Their key message was outlined in a Commentary by two of the authors of the brief published May 28 on Nature Reports Climate Change. Nick Dulvy, Canadian Research Chair in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, and Eddie Allison, director of the WorldFish Center in Penang, Malaysia, argue that climate impacts represent a serious threat to those who depend on fisheries and aquaculture resources both for protein and as a source of income.

WorldFish Center, Penang, Malaysia 8 p. Cambodia is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change on fisheries, which supply livelihoods for millions and up to 80% of all animal protein in the diet. Most fisheries are highly variable by nature and subject to environmental change, including climate change. Hydropower dam construction, intensified fishing pressure and macroeconomic drivers are likely to affect Cambodian fisheries more immediately and visibly than climate change. Building fisher communities' capacity to adapt to these more immediate changes goes hand-in-hand with improving their capacity to adapt to climate change. A far-reaching strategy to improve adaptive capacity and strengthen resilience promises to reduce poverty and enhance food production now and in the years to come.

Water International 34(1): 47-61. Relying on experience from West Africa and the Mekong Basin, the authors contend that small-scale inland fisheries are a critical element in the livelihoods of many farming households who live near water bodies in developing countries. Empirical evidence suggests that the relation between poverty and small-scale fisheries cannot be reduced to a simple correlation with income. A more thorough analysis is required. Using vulnerability and exclusions as two dimensions of poverty, we show that poverty in fishing communities includes a wide range of variables: income but also land ownership, debt, access to health, education and financial capital, and political and geographical marginalization.

This brief examines the fisheries sector in Zambia. Fisheries sector has made a small contribution (1.24%) to the country's national GDP. However, It is estimated that more than 20 percent of animal protein intake for people in Zambia is from fish. Hence there is an important role for fish and fish products in the food and nutrition security of the Zambian population, especially the urban poor and people living with HIV and AIDS (PLHIV). The brief also includes recommendations of how fisheries can contribute to the government's goal of a more inclusive, diversified and sustained economic growth.

WorldFish Center, Penang, Malaysia. 4 p. . Fish is an important food for over 400 million Africans, contributing essential proteins, minerals and micronutrients to their diets. Paradoxically, despite the high dependence on fish as a source of animal protein, fish consumption in sub-Saharan Africa is the world's lowest. The continent is projected to need an additional 1.6 million tons of fish a year by 2015 just to maintain current consumption. The rapid increases in fish supply required over the next decades will only be possible, therefore, if these fisheries are sustained and improved, while simultaneously developing aquaculture (fish farming). This note summarizes this dual approach. PDF Full-Text <http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resource_centre/WF_2466.pdf> 14. The WorldFish Center. 2009. Fish supply and food security for South Asia.

Ahmed, N. ; Allison, E.H. ; Muir, J.F. 2009. Rice fields to prawn farms: a blue revolution in southwest Bangladesh?. Aquaculture International [online]. This paper examines freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) farming in southwest Bangladesh where a large number of farmers have converted their rice fields to export oriented prawn farms, locally known as gher. The gher design potentially provides good opportunities for diversified production of prawn, fish, rice and dike crops, that has brought about a 'blue revolution'. The average annual yield of prawn, fish and rice was estimated at 467, 986 and 2,257 kg ha-1, respectively. Large farmers produced higher production due to more inputs, larger farm size and longer experience of prawn farming than others. All farmers in different gher size categories (i.e., small, medium and large) made a profit, with seed and feed dominating variable costs. Despite a higher production costs per hectare, the average annual net return was higher in large farms (US$2,426), compared with medium (US$1,798) and small (US$1,420) farms. Prawn production in gher systems has been accompanied by a great deal of social and economic benefits. Most farmers associate the blue revolution with increases in income and living standards. Socioeconomic benefits of the households of prawn farmers depend on resource ownership (i.e., farm size) and are very apparent. Nevertheless, a number of significant challenges, particularly social and environmental issues, are vital in translating its benefits effectively to the thousands of rural poor.

Baran, E. ; Myschowoda, C. 2009. Dam and fisheries in the Mekong Basin. Aquatic Ecosystem Health and Management 12(3): 227-234. This paper draws on approaches in ecology, biology and policy analysis to examine the tensions between dams and fisheries in the Lower Mekong Basin. We review the exceptional importance of Mekong fisheries in terms of total catch, economic value and their role in rural livelihoods. The ecological conditions necessary to sustain the fish production are also analysed. The paper then considers the implications of dam development in the Mekong Basin, drawing on recent research to review predicted changes in hydrology and the resulting impacts on fishery resources. We then consider why, given the importance of fisheries, these potential impacts are not being addressed in regional policy processes.

This paper presents a comparative analysis of the technical and economic parameters of two community led approaches: the semi-closed water bodies and the floodplain water bodies based systems in Bangladesh. The two approaches differ in management, fish production, impact on biodiversity, capital investment and annual variable costs, share of profits and proportional benefits for the poor, and impact on allied businesses¡ªthe so-called backward and forward linkages. For the semi-closed water bodies (beels) the fish harvest increased from an annual average of 380 kg ha-1 in 2002 to 921 kg ha-1 by 2005.

FAO fisheries and aquaculture technical paper No. 527. Rome, FAO. This review is prepared as part of the FAO Project ¡°Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and monitoring in aquaculture¡±. The review provides a compilation, review and synthesis of existing EIA and environmental monitoring procedures and practices in aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific region, the largest aquaculture-producing region in the world. This review, as in other regions, gives special consideration to four areas related to EIA and monitoring in aquaculture including: (1) the requirements (2) the practice (3) the effectiveness and (4) suggestions for improvements. Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam are covered in some depth, and a brief overview is provided of EIA and monitoring in several other countries in the region that are in various stages of adoption and implementation of environmental impact assessment, monitoring and other environmental management measures for aquaculture.

Proceedings of the 18th Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics. 28 Sept-1 Oct 2009, Brossa Valley, South Australia. 18:342-249. Aquaculture in developing countries is largely based on unimproved fish strains. There is ample evidence indicating the potential of genetic improvement programs and a range of selection methods may be used. Examples of the application of mass, cohort, within family, and combined between-within family are given. The methods are discussed in terms of their effectiveness and suitability. It is concluded that in principle all the methods can work well, provided the selection program is started with a population with a broad genetic base and that during its conduct a balance is struck between selection intensity and containment of inbreeding. Limitations to the implementation of genetic improvement programs and the challenges they face are discussed. PDF Full-Text <http://www.aaabg.org/proceedings18/files/ponzoni342.pdf> 21.

The WorldFish Center, Penang, Malaysia. 8 p. The Adivasi Fisheries Project (AFP) set out in 2007 to help Adivasis in the north and northwest of Bangladesh find new and more sustainable livelihoods. It is based on 2 decades of WorldFish Center research in Bangladesh on aquaculture techniques for smallholders and community fisheries management and targeted disadvantaged rural miniorities called Adivasi. The project significantly improved Adivasi households¡¯ livelihoods. Monitoring survey results found all of the fishery-related livelihood options profitable. As farmers were able to improve their livelihoods after a single year of AFP intervention, it is expected that they will not only sustain this improvement but build on it as their experience grows and with continued technical support from the AFP in 2009.

Journal of Development Studies 45(6): 911-933. An index of economic vulnerability is developed and used with a more conventional measure of income poverty to explore vulnerability and chronic poverty in isolated rural communities. The method is applied to data from remote rural fishing¨Cfarming communities in Congo. The analysis highlights the high vulnerability of full-time fisherfolk and identifies mobility as a key factor increasing vulnerability. In line with other recent economic research, our work also shows that households can remain highly vulnerable even when their incomes lie well above the average local income. These different results are consistent with the more specialised literature on small-scale fisheries, confirming the robustness of the analysis proposed in this paper.

Béné, C. ; Obirih-Opareh, N. 2009. Social and economic impacts of agricultural productivity intensification: the case brush park fisheries in Lake Volta. Agricultural Systems published online June. The intensification of agricultural productivity through technological innovation has often been reported to induce considerable social and economic transformation in the rural communities where those innovations are introduced. This paper investigates those changes in the case of acadja, a particular technique for intensifying fishing, which has been adopted in various parts of the developing world. Using the case of Lake Volta in Ghana, the paper investigates the social and economic impacts of this technique, looking in particular into issues of income, assets and (re)distribution of the wealth created by those acadjas. Our analysis shows that the impact of acadjas on fishing communities is mixed. While acadja certainly helps to enhance the supply of protein-rich food and may have trickle down effects at the community level, those positive contributions are greatly reduced by other more negative effects. The data show in particular that acadjas are not a poor-neutral technology in the sense that their contribution to household income seems to benefit disproportionably the wealthiest owners. As such, acadja fisheries often create negative sentiments amongst the households who cannot afford investing in this technology, creating a situation which may lead to social tension and intra-community conflicts.

Evans, L. ; Andrew, N. 2009. Diagnosis and the management constituency of small-scale fisheries. WorldFish Center working paper 1941. The WorldFish Center, Penang, Malaysia. 26 p. Diagnosis and adaptive management can help improve the ability of small-scale fisheries (SSF) in the developing world to better cope with and adapt to both external drivers and internal sources of uncertainty. This paper presents a framework for diagnosis and adaptive management and discusses ways of implementing the first two phases of learning: diagnosis and mobilising an appropriate management constituency. The discussion addresses key issues and suggests suitable approaches and tools as well as numerous sources of further information. Diagnosis of a SSF defines the system to be managed, outlines the scope of the management problem in terms of threats and opportunities, and aims to construct realistic and desired future projections for the fishery. These steps can clarify objectives and lead to development of indicators necessary for adaptive management. Before management, however, it is important to mobilize a management constituency to enact change. Ways of identifying stakeholders and understanding both enabling and obstructive interactions and management structures are outlined. These preliminary learning phases for adaptive SSF management are expected to work best if legitimised by collaborative discussion among fishery stakeholders drawing on multiple knowledge systems and participatory approaches to assessment.

Journal of International Development (online). Fishing communities are often recognised as being amongst the poorest in developing countries, and interventions targeted at improving resource status seen as central in the fight against poverty. A series of field assessments focusing on vulnerability conducted in two communities in Mali and Nigeria revealed some counterintuitive results. Despite fishing being the primary livelihood, vulnerabilities relating directly to the state of the resource were ranked lower than those relating to basic human needs. Those results challenge the conventional view and suggest that non-sectoral interventions can have more effective impacts on the livelihood of those communities than interventions targeting the resources.

Murshed-e-Jalan, K. ; Salayo, N.D. ; Kanagaratnam, U. 2009. Managing fisheries conflicts through communication planning: experience from inland fisheries of Bangladesh. Fisheries Research 99: 112-122. Increasing population, ineffective management, competition among fishing gears over access to resources and proliferation of destructive practices are imposing severe stress on the inland water bodies of Bangladesh. These factors also contribute to the increasing incidence of conflicts among fishery stakeholders. Whenunabated, these conflicts arepotential threats to the livelihoods of millions of the poorest fishing communities that depend on these resources. Effective communication between conflicting parties is perceived as a key for establishing successful negotiations for managing conflicts.

Marine Policy [in press]. There has been a gradual evolution in fisheries management over the past decades from a focus on sustainability of a single species or stock and resources to a focus on marine ecosystems.Among the issues to be addressed for effective implementation of ecosystem based fisheries management(EBFM) are the appropriate governance arrangements and scale for management.Thepurpose of this paper is to examine these issues of governance and scale as related to EBFM in tropical developing countries through ananalysis of approaches being taken in the Philippines to manage fisheries on amulti- jurisdictional level.The management of fisheries and coastal resources in a number of bays and gulfs, which represent marine ecosystems,is presented.The opportunities and constraints to ecosystem based fisheries management in the Philippines are discussed and lessons for broader application of these governance structures in tropical developing country marine ecosystems are presented.

The WorldFish Center, Penang, Malaysia. 22 p. Commonly adopted approaches to managing small-scale fisheries (SSFs) in developing countries do not ensure sustainability. Progress is impeded by a gap between innovative SSF research and slower-moving SSF management. The paper aims to bridge the gap by showing that the three primary bases of SSF management--ecosystem, stakeholders¡¯ rights and resilience--are mutually consistent and complementary. It nominates the ecosystem approach as an appropriate starting point because it is established in national and international law and policy. Within this approach, the emerging resilience perspective and associated concepts of adaptive management and institutional learning can move management beyond traditional control and resource-use optimization, which largely ignore the different expectations of stakeholders; the complexity of ecosystem dynamics; and how ecological, social, political and economic subsystems are linked. Integrating a rights-based perspective helps balance the ecological bias of ecosystem-based and resilience approaches. The paper introduces three management implementation frameworks that can lend structure and order to research and management regardless of the management approach chosen. Finally, it outlines possible research approaches to overcome the heretofore limited capacity of fishery research to integrate across ecological, social and economic dimensions and so better serve the management objective of avoiding fishery failure by nurturing and preserving the ecological, social and institutional attributes that enable it to renew and reorganize itself.

[Sarnissa-french-aquaculture] Formation "Identification, pilotage et évaluation d’opérations de développement de la pisciculture paysanne"
by Lionel Dabbadie 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

L’APDRA est reconnue organisme de formation et met en place une formation "Identification, pilotage et évaluation d’opérations de développement de la pisciculture paysanne" à destination de cadres chargés de la mise en œuvre ou du suivi-évaluation du développement de la pisciculture dans un contexte d’économie paysanne africaine. Elle s’adresse donc d’abord à des responsables d’opérations de développement ou à des cadres de structures de développement de la pisciculture (de type associatif, privé et/ou professionnel), ensuite à des cadres de l’administration, en charge du développement de la pisciculture, qui trouveront dans cette formation une grande ouverture dans les stratégies possibles pour le développement de la pisciculture et de nombreux outils d’évaluation et de sélection des programmes. Cette formation doit permettre à des acteurs du développement de consolider leurs acquis afin de les aider à identifier et mettre en œuvre des programmes de développement piscicole en Afrique. La prochaine formation aura lieu en 2010.

[Sarnissa-french-aquaculture] (sans objet)
by Cyrille ngouana 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Dear all, It’s a great idea to think about an NGO Francophone, I believe! but in the meantime, to avoid useless replication, I would like to suggest that we discuss with AWF international chairs the possibility of creating a francophone AWF affiliate. My suggestion is based on SARNISSA experience (French and English) and my experience as member of the International Association for Impact Assessment: www.iaia.org; IAIA has a francophone affiliate with an independent board: Secrétariat international francophone pour l’évaluation environnementale: http://www.sifee.org/ former Secrétariat francophone de l'Association internationale pour l'évaluation d'impacts. Many francophone African countries are affiliated to SIFEE whereas Anglophones are affiliated to IAIA. Cher tous C’est une bonne idée de penser mettre en place une ONG Francophone du genre AWF. AWF existe déjà ! Est-ce qu’il ne serait pas mieux pour nous de discuter avec son conseil la possibilité de créer une Section AWF- francophone ? Ma suggestion est basée sur l’expérience de SARNISSA (Forum anglophone et francophone) et mon expérience en tant que membre de l’International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA). IAIA a un affiliate francophone dénommée Secrétariat International Francophone pour l’Evaluation Environnementale (SIFEE), dont l’ancien nom était Secrétariat francophone de l'Association internationale pour l'évaluation d'impacts.

[Sarnissa-french-aquaculture] FW: la recherche aquacole interpelée!
by William Leschen 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

Je voudrais juste informer les membres francophones qu'il existe une organisation (à vocation non commerciale) appelée Aquaculture Sans Frontières (AWF en anglais) qui fonctionne maintenant depuis plusieurs années. Elle a été lancée par Michael New qui est un ancien consultant de la FAO, avec une grande expérience de l'aquaculture dans le monde entier -il a écrit un certain nombre d'articles de référence sur l'élevage de Macrobrachium (la crevette d'eau douce). AWF fonctionne essentiellement par ses volontaires qui sont des spécialistes de l'aquaculture en activité ou retraités, qui ont envie d'aider le développement de l'aquaculture dans les pays en développement. Ils collectent des fonds eux mêmes grâce à leurs anciens contacts professionnels ou des entreprises aquacoles. Ensuite, ils utilisent l'argent pour envoyer des spécialistes volontaires pour aider et conseiller un projet particulier ou une entreprise aquacole dans les pays en développement. Pour se faire une idée, il est possible de consulter leur site web: http://seagrant.gso.uri.edu/awf/ Je ne sais pas si cela peut servir de modèle ou d'exemple aux membres du forum francophone pour l'association qu'ils proposent ? En tout cas, ça peut donner des idées. Amicalement Will Le 5 déc. 2009 à 17:18, William Leschen a écrit : > Dear Lionel, > Following Fr Forum and Sidiki's ideas - see below - I wrote to Aida in Ivory Coast as she was involved in the discussions - also works for an international NGO in humanitarian area - in the hope she would translate for the forum - she speaks v good English - Anyway she seems to be busy and hasn't done it yet - If you have time please could you translate - and post on the Fr forum - This NGO- don't know if you are aware of them - have slightly different role to what sidiki is proposing however they are non for profit self financing and doing some great work - Might be a good example for our French friends on the forum > > Best wishes > Will >

[Sarnissa-french-aquaculture] Cameroun, élevage des crevettes: Le challenge IRAD et AQUASOL
by Lionel Dabbadie 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Bonjour à tous, Pour information, un article sur deux membres du réseau Sarnissa. Bien amicalement Lionel Elevage des crevettes: Le challenge IRAD et AQUASOL Par JACQUES.DOO.BELL | Mercredi 2 décembre 2009 | Le Messager Les locaux du centre de recherche agricole pour le développement (IRAD) de Kribi a servi de cadre samedi 28 novembre à la signature d’un partenariat qui, à coup sûr donnera un coup d’accélérateur à la lutte contre la pauvreté dans la zone côtière du Cameroun. D’un côté, il y avait le directeur général de l’IRAD, le Dr Zock et de l’autre S.M Salomon Madiba Songué, président de l’association AQUASOL (Aquaculture et solidarité). Autour d’eux une forte délégation de la mairie de Brive-la-Gaillarde en France conduite par l’adjointe au maire Mme Françoise Gautry, la présidente de l’Association humanitaire Blue-Cameroun, Mme AnnieTrochery. La convention signée samedi à Kribi, est le tournant décisif d’un projet conçu par l’Association Blue-Cameroun créée à Brive en France pour « contribuer à lutter contre la pauvreté au Cameroun » a dit Mme Annie Trochery, aidant les plus démunis, à titre individuel ou à travers leurs communautés à devenir autonomes socialement et économiquement par la formation à la création d’activités génératrices de revenus, plus particulièrement liées à l’aquaculture. Le projet piloté au Cameroun par le chef Madiba Songué a enregistré un soutien enthousiaste du ministère de la Recherche scientifique et de l’innovation à travers l’institut de recherche agricole pour le développement (IRAD). Les chefs de centre de Kribi et de Limbé ont ainsi été mis à contribution, des locaux opérationnels équipés de laboratoires construits également pour abriter le projet. Et pour une fructueuse collaboration entre l’IRAD et AQUASOL dans l’intérêt des populations camerounaises. Mme Trochery n’exclut pas la possibilité de voir la crevetticulture en gestation au Cameroun s’étendre vers d’autres pays africains. Outre les chefs traditionnels de la bordure de l’Atlantique, parmi les acteurs locaux de ce projet figurent le député Dooh Collins, le maire de Douala III Oumarou Fadil, M. Ngallé Bibehe, Pdg de la Socatur, etc. Pour pérenniser ce projet, deux jeunes Camerounais sont déjà en formation en Amérique latine, d’autres travaillent activement sur place, encadrés par deux experts français dont le Dr Eric Miahle, le père de l’élevage de la crevette au Pérou, en Equateur, au Vietnam et bientôt au Cameroun. Aux destinataires de jouer franc-jeu Au vu du travail mené par Eric Miahle et son jeune compatriote Guillaume, le projet de crevetticulture mené au Cameroun est un bel exemple d’intégration scientifique, d’intégration avec le milieu traditionnel, dans ce sens que tout se fait à partir des crevettes locales, sans utilisation d’antibiotiques, pas de contamination organique, ni d’introduction d’espèces étrangères, encore moins de destruction de la mangrove qui est le milieu naturel par excellence de reproduction des produits halieutiques. Au vu de l’avancement de ce projet, du niveau d’engagement et de la détermination des différents partenaires que sont l’IRAD, la commune de Brive, l’association Blue-Cameroun, et AQUASOL, on peut dire que tout est fait pour relever ce défi. Aussi, pour le directeur général de l’IRAD, « il ne servirait à rien de faire des recherches qui n’arriveraient pas aux utilisateurs finaux. L’IRAD qui sera jugé au pied du mur dans ce projet, s’engage à mettre en œuvre toutes ses ressources pour le conduire de manière efficiente. » Le préfet de l’Océan présent à cette cérémonie a salué ce projet qui donne un coup de pouce à la politique du président Biya qui met un point d’honneur à l’amélioration des conditions de vie des populations. Reste que les populations concernées l’intègrent et le concrétisent comme, jadis nos paysans l’ont fait pour le cacao, le café, la tomate, la pomme de terre qui font le bonheur de nos ménages. -- Visitez ma page perso / Visit my homepage: http://bit.ly/dabbadie
