New: online course on Organization of Fisheries Statistics Systems (9-19 November 2020)

Timely, reliable and comprehensive statistics are required for the effective monitoring and management of sustainable capture fisheries. To respond to this need, the Statistics and Information Branch of the FAO Fisheries Division has organized the online advanced course on Organization of Fisheries Statistics Systems (9-19 November 2020), in collaboration with the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM), and through the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Zaragoza (IAMZ). Deadline for applications is 1 October 2020.

The course is targeted at fisheries managers, statisticians and researchers with responsibilities in fisheries data collection and the design, production and use of fisheries statistics in order to help them to design, plan and implement effective fisheries data collection programmes. The course covers topics going from the definition of the needs for statistics in support to fisheries management; the types of required data and collection systems; and the implementation of robust fisheries statistics and management information systems

The course will be offered online, in English, French and Spanish with simultaneous translation, with live streaming lectures, from FAO, the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM), Eurostat, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) and other national institutions.

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).

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.
