FAO working with partners for improved fish safety, quality and market access

International seafood trade, worth over US$128 billion, is an ever-growing industry with major markets, like the European Union, USA and Japan, accounting for over 65% of imports. As global demand for fish products continues to increase to meet population growth and dietary changes, so do market opportunities – especially for exporting countries.

This week's 10th World Seafood Congress aims to highlight innovation in seafood and provide opportunities for maximum participation by all economies involved in seafood trade – including developing countries.

The World Seafood Congress, co-organized by FAO and UNIDO (the Industrial Development Organization of the United Nations), with the International Association of Fish Inspectors (IAFI) and Marine Institute of Canada, is the global forum to promote such an exchange. This year’s event, Creative Solutions for Global Challenges, will feature sessions on food safety and inspections modernization, seafood sustainability, seafood innovation, profitable seafood markets and global export and trade.

FAO workshop report looks at cultured shrimp disease

A new FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Report, Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) or Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Syndrome (AHPNS) of Cultured Shrimp, focuses on this emerging disease that has devastated the shrimp industry of China, Malaysia, Thailand and Viet Nam over the last three years.

FAO project TCP/VIE/3304 “Emergency assistance to control the spread of an unknown disease affecting shrimps in Viet Nam”, implemented by Viet Nam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, organized an FAO/MARD Technical Workshop on EMS/AHPNS last June.

Sixty-three participating international experts and local stakeholders from the shrimp farming sector discussed the outcomes of the work carried out under the TCP project and the current state of knowledge on EMS/AHPNS in the affected countries. The Workshop agreed on a list of specific and generic actions and measures that may help reduce and manage the risks of EMS/AHPNS, directed to various shrimp stakeholders (public and private sectors).

First Regional Symposium on Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Mediterranean and Black Sea - November 2013

Small-scale fisheries traditionally represent an important share of the fisheries sector in the Mediterranean and Black Sea and their considerable role in the region has long been recognized. Now, building on the process and participatory approach used to develop the International Guidelines on Securing Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries, the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) plans to provide a platform to address the main issues related to small-scale fisheries in the Mediterranean and Black Sea.

The GFCM and FAO, in partnership with CIHEAM Bari, MedPAN and WWF, are organizing a symposium in November that will serve as a building block to steer strategic and programmatic actions with a view to improving the livelihoods of local communities engaged in small-scale fisheries in the region.
