Ecosystem restoration and inland food fisheries in developing countries
2023
The review presents the strong business case for inland food fisheries in developing countries to be either a co-benefit, or very often the main benefit, of ecosystem restoration. In view of the current state of inland water aquatic habitats the potential for restoration is high. Realizing this potential requires concerted action to overcome current challenges, foremost of which is the invisibility of inland fisheries in many policy arenas as well as technical and scientific fora.

Production and utilization of fish silage
2018
The processing of fish leads to a significant removal of parts of the fish, such as heads, bones, guts, etc., these parts can represent between 30-70% of the fish. The fish silage process transforms fish waste into a liquid mix of hydrolysed proteins, lipids, minerals and other nutrients, easily digestible by both terrestrial and aquatic animals. It can also serve as an excellent fertilizer.

FAO. Code de conduite pour une pêche responsable
1995
Dès les temps les plus reculés, la pêche a été une source majeure de nourriture pour l'humanité. II était admis que les ressources aquatiques étaient un don de la nature d'une abondance illimitée. Mais, avec l'enrichissement des connaissances et le développement dynamique du secteur des pêches ce mythe s'est évanoui lorsque l'on a pris conscience que les ressources halieutiques ne sont pas infinies et doivent être gérées.
