Sustainable intensification of aquaculture - FAO consultation 27 nov2014Michael Phillips
Presentation made at the Regional Consultation on Strategy and Action Plan for Sustainable Intensification of Aquaculture in Asia-Pacific, organised by FAO. 27-28 November 2014, Bangkok, Thailand
Almost all natural bodies of water bear fish life, the exceptions being very hot thermal ponds and extremely salt-alkaline lakes such as the Dead Sea and Great Salt Lake. The fishes belong to the most numerous and diversified group among vertebrates. They dominate the water bodies of the world through a variety of morphological, physiological and behavioral adaptations. They have been in existence for more than 450 million years. A total of 24618 species of fishes belonging to 482 families and 4258 genera have so far been described. About 58% of the fish species are marine while 41% are freshwater inhabitants and 1% migrants. In our Indian region alone, there are 2,500 species of which 930 are inhabitants of freshwater and the rest live in the seas. In other words, India harbours 11.5% of the fish fauna so far known in the world. There are over 800 living species of sharks and rays, 30 species of chimaeras and ratfishes, 6 species of lung fishes, 1 species of coelacanths, 36 species of long ray finned bichirs, sturgeons and paddlefishes. The Neopterygii are the rest of the known species of modem fishes. All these fishes inhabit various niches in the aquatic environment. The diversified habitats of fishes include open oceans, deep oceanic trenches, nearshore waters, saline coastal embayments, brackishwaters, estuaries, intermittent streams, tiny desert springs, vernal pools, cold mountain streams, lakes, ponds, etc.

Marine protected area Marine protected areas (MPA) are protected areas of seas, oceans, estuaries or in the US, the Great Lakes .[2] These marine areas can come in many forms ranging from wildlife refuges to research facilities.[3] MPAs restrict human activity for a conservation purpose, typically to protect natural or cultural resources.[4] Such marine resources are protected by local, state, territorial, native, regional, national, or international authorities and differ substantially among and between nations. This variation includes different limitations on development, fishing practices, fishing seasons and catch limits, moorings and bans on removing or disrupting marine life. In some situations (such as with the Phoenix Islands Protected Area), MPAs also provide revenue for countries, potentially equal to the income that they would have if they were to grant companies permissions to fish.[5]
On 28 October 2016 in Hobart, Australia, the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources agreed to establish the first Antarctic and largest marine protected area in the world encompassing 1.55 million km2 (600,000 sq mi) in the Ross Sea.[6] Other large MPAs are in the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans, in certain exclusive economic zones of Australia and overseas territories of France, the United Kingdom and the United States, with major (990,000 square kilometres (380,000 sq mi) or larger) new or expanded MPAs by these nations since 2012—such as Natural Park of the Coral Sea, Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, Coral Sea Commonwealth Marine Reserve and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands Marine Protected Area. When counted with MPAs of all sizes from many other countries, as of August 2016 there are more than 13,650 MPAs, encompassing 2.07% of the world's oceans, with half of that area – encompassing 1.03% of the world's oceans – receiving complete "no-take" designation.[7]
Separation Surplus yield model (MSY, Fmsy, MEY, Fmsy)Degonto Islam
Economic variables are often included in the biological model that suggests the relationship between sustainable revenue, fishing cost and fishing effort.
For more than 50 years, it has been generally accepted that the fishing sector stood to gain from managing fisheries at the effort level producing maximum economic yield rather than maximum sustainable yield, which occurs at a higher effort level.
Surplus production models are also called as Holistic models. This model deals with total stock biomass along with fishing effort and yield. To operate this model, catch and effort data are needed as input data. These models could be computed with less input data unlike analytic models. This model does not take into account age and growth. Hence, it could be safely applied to tropical stocks, where calculation of age of tropical fish is more cumbersome.

Best 10 Economic Importance Of Aquaculture
Aquaculture
Fisheries and aquaculture make a big contribution to development in the areas of employment. Describing the importance of aquaculture is not an easy task. According to M. Shahbandeh, the number of people who were engaged in fishing and aquaculture amounted to around 40.34 million and 19.27 million respectively worldwide in 2016 and the number has been increasing day by day since 1995. The vast majority of them are from developing countries, working in fish production or fish raising, fish processing, harvesting, and small-scale fish business.

Aquaculture
Aquaculture is the controlled process of rearing, breeding and harvesting of aquatic species, both animals and plants, especially for human consumption, though it is controlled aquatic environments like the oceans, lakes, rivers, ponds, and streams. It’s a similar conception to agriculture, but with fish instead of plants or livestock. It also serves various functions such as food production, restoration of threatened and endangered species populations, wild stock population enhancement, the building of aquariums, and fish cultures, and habitat restoration.
History of Aquaculture
The husbandry of fish is therefore not a new phenomenon. Ancient practices based on the modifications of natural bodies of water or wetlands to entrap young fish in enclosures until harvest have just evolved into more systematic and scientific methods and techniques.
Aquaculture has a long tradition, which is about 4 000 years, and form the beginning of the time man identified the importance of aquaculture.. Probably aquaculture began in China before very long ago, due to the wants of an emperor to have an unremitting supply of fish in his land. It is supposed that the proficiencies for keeping fish in ponds originated in China with fishermen who kept their extra catch alive temporarily in baskets submerged in rivers or small bodies of water created by damming one side of a river bed.(Ling, S.W,Aquaculture in Southeast Asia: A Historical Overview,A Washington Sea Grant Publication).
Another theory is that aquaculture arose from ancient practices for pinning down fish, with the operations steadily improving from trapping-holding to trapping-holding-growing, and finally into complete agriculture or farming practices.
Methods of Aquaculture
The methods of aquaculture’s farm-to-table process can differ from species to species. Generally, there are four stages of the production chain, starting in hatcheries and ending at the seafood counter in your grocery store. Four stages are:
stages of the production chain

Each of these stages may vary concerning its effect on the environment and the quality and safety of the seafood they produce.
The first stage in the aquaculture production chain is the hatchery. This is where the breeding of fish, hatch

The Rockefeller Foundation marks its 100th year in 2013. The Foundation’s mission, unchanged since 1913, is to promote the well-being of humankind throughout the world. During the course of its history, the Foundation has supported the ingenuity of innovative thinkers and actors by providing the resources, networks, convening power, and technologies to move innovation from idea to impact. It supports work that expands opportunity and strengthens resilience to social, economic, health, and environmental challenges. The Foundation seeks to achieve its mission through work aimed at meeting four equally important goals: revalue ecosystems, advance health, secure livelihoods, and transform cities.
Starting in June 2012, the Rockefeller Foundation began investigating the pressing problem of the declining health of the oceans due to climate change, overfishing, pollution and habitat destruction, and the effects of this decline on poor and vulnerable people who depend on marine ecosystems for food and livelihoods. The goal was to better understand the nature of the problem and the potential impact of interventions in the fields of fisheries, aquaculture, poverty, and food security.
The Foundation assembled a portfolio of learning grants that examined this problem from multiple perspectives in order to inform and assess the viability of and potential impact for future engagement on this topic. We supported four scoping studies that sought to identify populations dependent on marine fisheries, as well as review past experience with integrated approaches to fisheries management within a livelihoods and food security context. In partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies, we also supported scoping work in four countries to assess opportunities for a coordinated strategy integrating national policy, local management, and innovative financing.
We have learned a tremendous amount from the work our grantees have done, captured here by partner FSG in a summary and synthesis. We hope this information will contribute to the broader body of knowledge on this topic, as well as our own work.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.
2. What is sustainable fishing and why is it important?
Sustainable fishing is the act of fishing in a
way that the practices can be maintained
without reducing the target species and
maintaining its population and without
harming the ecosystem.
Sustainable fisheries target species that can
reproduce quickly and sustain their own
population.
Studies show that if current rates of fishing
continue, there will be no edible fish in the
ocean in 2048.
Overfishing of species can have
repercussions for the food chain. It also can
inflict damage on organisms such as coral.
3. Sustainability must be applied to all
aspects of the ecosystem. The ocean
comprises of 140 million miles and 71% of
the Earth’s surface. Fish are by far the
highest percentage of proteins consumed
by humans. Overfishing seriously
compromises the delicate balance of the
ocean and creates a disastrous chain
effect which threatens to weaken the entire
aquatic ecosystem.
Furtive efforts are underway to address
overfishing through sustainable methods
such as controlled fisheries and controlled
commercial fishing activity. Educating the
public shows them the importance in
selecting seafood raised through
sustainable methods. Support for these
eco-friendly fisheries will encourage the
spread of similar methods throughout the
fishing industry.
4. Ten commandments for ecosystem-
based fisheries
Keep a perspective that is holistic and adaptive.
Maintain an “old growth” structure in fish populations, since big, old and fat female fish have been shown to be
the best spawners, but are also susceptible to overfishing.
Characterize and maintain the equilibrium of fish stocks, so that management boundaries match natural
boundaries in the sea.
Monitor and maintain seafloor habitats to make sure fish have food and shelter.
Maintain resilient ecosystems that are able to withstand occasional shocks.
Identify and maintain critical food-web connections, including predators and forage species.
Adapt to ecosystem changes through time, both short-term and on longer cycles of decades or centuries,
including global climate change.
Account for evolutionary changes caused by fishing, which tends to remove large, older fish.
Include the actions of humans and their social and economic systems in all ecological equations
5. Friends of the Sea Sustainable Fishery
Guidelines:
There is no environmental impact where the farm is placed
Must follow all waste water guidelines
A very low percentage of fish escaping fishery.
No genetically modified organisms, growth hormones, or antibiotics
Reduction of the carbon footprint
85 percent of the
world’s fisheries are
fished at or beyond

6. GMO is when an organism’s genetic material has been altered using genetic
engineering techniques.
Purpose?
Luxury & to increase seafood consumption to meet demands of food industry.
Negative effects:
Release of untreated wastes & nutrients, increase risk of disease & parasite
transmission from farmed to wild fish, use & release of drugs & chemicals in
environment, & over-fishing of smaller fishes to feed carnivorous farmed fishes
(Salmon).
People aren’t the only consumers part taking in over-fishing. Species aren’t given the
chance to grow because they’re being used for consumption for larger fishes in farms.
Not given the chance to adulthood and to reproduce, fish species are declining.
7. Holistics as it pertains to sustainable
fisheries
Holistics is characterized by comprehension of the parts of something as intimately interconnected
and explicable only by reference to the whole.
In medicine, holistic healing means to take account of someone’s whole body, such as mind and soul,
verses just the disease. In sustainable fishing, we cannot only think about fishing and the fish, we
must think about the whole body. If we view the ocean at a holistic medicine view, the ocean is the
body and the fish is the disease. It’s the ocean we must be concerned and what can harm it.
Pollution, debris, climate change, tourism and development, are all factors to causing disease to the
ocean. We must care for the ocean in order to care for the fish.
Nutritionists say that eating fish is a healthy protein to add to your diet. It’s also a great way to add
Omega 3’s to your diet too. Within the past 50 years, technology has allowed us to enter the ocean.
We are able to fish deeper and more effectively. Today we have lost 90% of large predatory fish such
as sharks and cods.
8. The Marine Resilient
Ecosystem
Resilience is the capacity an ecosystem
has to respond to a disturbance by
resisting damage and recovering.
The ecosystems are changing every
time & vulnerable to natural & human
caused stressors. Ex: Extreme
weather, fishing pressure, pollution, &
habitat loss.
Example:
In Western Australia up to 90% live
corals were lost due to severe
bleaching. Despite the loss, reef was
able to grow back 44% within 12 years.
Scientists find climate change to be
the greatest stressor to coastal
ecosystems.
9. Apps are starting to be
developed and launched
to direct consumers to
sustainable fishing
products.
The Monterey Bay
Aquarian app will even
uses GPS to direct you to
restaurants that serves
sustainable seafood.
10. Volunteer sites
Jenna and Nicole visited Hilo Fish Company located in Hilo, Hawaii
on Friday November, 3 2017.
Sam visited Nisqually Fishery and Salmon Hatchery located in
Lacey Washington on the Nisqually Wildlife Reserve November, 15
2017
11. The Nisqually Tribe has existed for over 10,000 years on over 2 million acres
along the Puget Sound in the Pacific Northwest. Much like Hawaiians, the
tribe’s main sustenance was fishing and like Hawaiians that resource has
steadily become depleted due to overfishing and land seizing. Concerted
efforts have established a sustainable fish hatchery with the intent to regain
control of the declining salmon population and reinvigorate the resource that is
such a part of the Nisqually culture.
12. Yil-me-hu, Nisqually word that means “the
salmon dance, on its first arrival
A hundred years ago Puget
Sound was a major wild salmon
highway, with five different
species returning to the 14 rivers
that run into the Sound
Now after a century of
overfishing and dams the
chinook in the river or now
virtually extinct requiring the
Nisqually’s to develop a
sustainable fishery
13. Nisqually sustainable hatchery is
located in the Puget Sound estuary,
second largest in the united States
In the restoration, urban rain
gardens filter runoff and
augment river flow, new
logjams deepen and cool its
waters, and farms returned to
marshland provide new places
for young salmon to shelter and
grow.
14. Nisqually Glacier
provides water
for the Nisqually
river
Now after a century of
overfishing and dams the
chinook in the river or now
virtually extinct requiring the
Nisqually tribe to develop a
sustainable fishery
15. Larry Hicks, Nisqually computer tech and fishery volunteer explains the
process to me of the fishery. First step is isolating the chinook female
and baby population in order to preserve lineage. The fish are then
wrangled into a holding pen, further sorted, then released into the
hatcheries estuary for safe development.
16. We just viewed The Nisqually Fishery and Hatchery which represents the
production side of the sustainable fishing industry
Now, we will take a look at The Hilo Fish Company which represents the
processing and distribution of the end product.
17. HILO FISH COMPANY, INC. is a leading importer and processor of fresh and frozen seafood in the United
States. Through global sourcing from over 20 coastal regions,our operations support the seafood needs of a
wide range of clientele that includes restaurants, regional grocery chains, the national broadline food
distributors and other various sized businesses involved with food.
Hilo Fish Company is headquartered in Hilo, Hawaii. We maintain satellite sales
offices in Los Angeles, California and Perth Amboy, New Jersey. In April of 2006,
the Company opened a regional procurement office
in Manila, Philippines to handle all purchases in Asia.
18. Hilo Fish Company Mission Statement
Our mission is to consistently provide the best
quality products and services to our customers
while operating our business with:
•Pride and Humility
•Quality and Integrity
•Excellence and Innovation

Hilo Fish Company, Inc. is engaged in
worldwide distribution, processing,
harvesting and marketing of
assorted fresh and frozen seafood products.
We possess an in-depth knowledge of
the major fisheries targeting tuna and other
highly migratory species. We source from over
20 different coastal regions
19. Charles Umamoto was able to give us
a brief tour of Hilo Fish Company,
which are one of the many sales
offices across the country.
Their success is accomplished by work
closely with all business partners in
order to provide technical training in
seafood harvesting, handling, and
processing procedures.
20. We asked Charles how
his company regulates
and verifies
sustainability?
Answer: It’s about
traceability. Getting
accurate information
and traceability on
where and how the
snapper and grouper fish
are coming here. These
fish need to come from a
reliable origin and from
sources that aren’t
abusing the ocean.
This storage room needs to be below 40 degrees.
21. Hilo Fish Company has
entered the Sustainable
Fisheries Partnership (SFP)
and together they are working
on a project called Fishery
Improvement Project (FIP).
This project is to help protect
and sustain the grouper and
snapper fishes.
Picture: A worker at Hilo Fish is
weighing and packing cut fish to
deliver.
22. Here is a quick video.
It was so cold, I don’t know how the workers can handle it.

23. The amount of fish that Hilo Fish Company sees a day varies. It
depends on the season and if they fish are biting. They only
catch fish that is appropriate size and if the fish are healthy.
24. Hawaiians caught three times more fish than current sustainable thresholds yet
were able to maintain the fish population for over 400 years.
Native Hawaiians caught 50% more fish as compared to modern fleets of today
From 1400 to 1800, Hawaiians caught 15 metric tons of fish per square kilometer
of reef annually which is 5 times the amount of modern island nations.
Hawaiians used sustainable techniques back then that are currently being
implemented today:
Temporary or permanent bans
Catch limits
Restriction on species and fishing techniques
Big difference is consequences of violating policies were more severe and
included up to death.
Hawaiians and Fishing Sustainability
25. What we can do to help
If the fish are too small, release it.
If the fish is unfamiliar, release it.
We can educate the keiki on how important it is to
not overfish.
Take a break from eating seafood.
