The purpose of this Circular article is to inform national policymakers and other stakeholders of issues related to aquatic organism health and aquaculture biosecurity throughout the aquaculture supply and value chains, and to promote more effective collaboration between stakeholders to minimize risks of disease introduction, transmission, spread and associated production losses. [Author] A survey was undertaken to determine country organizational arrangements for managing the health of aquatic organisms and aquaculture biosecurity, including with respect to the direct and indirect impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. [Author] A platform was then developed to inform respective mandates, share experiences and identify areas for collaboration with these matters as a basis for generating recommendations for further development of aquatic organism health and biosecurity systems. [Author] This led to the Fish-Vet Dialogue: Exploring Collaboration on Managing Health of Aquatic Organisms, an event organized by FAO and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), with the support of the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) and the Norwegian Veterinary Institute (NVI). [Author] Key aspects from the survey and the Fish-Vet Dialogue included: enhancing collaboration by engaging stakeholders and establishing public–private partnerships (PPPs); addressing the wider scope of collaboration, especially the One Health Initiative; scientific collaboration; and transparency in support of biosecurity and trade. [Author] Collaboration across government agencies is the minimum requirement, and policies or regulations are unlikely to succeed unless developed together with stakeholders, through PPPs. [Author] Trust and transparency are also required at all levels of management to support biosecurity and trade. [Author] Furthermore, the One Health approach should be taken to promote regional and international cooperation to improve biosecurity along the aquaculture supply and value chain and reduce the risks of disease outbreaks. [Author] Future actions to be taken include continuing the Fish-Vet Dialogue as a regular event to raise awareness, share experiences and generate collaborative actions to support a sustainable global aquaculture industry.

Market integration occurs when prices among different locations or related goods follow similar patterns over time. Current knowledge on market integration between aquaculture and wild-caught fish is based on a small number of species and markets. Most studies show the existence of market integration between wild and farmed conspecifics. However, there are some ambiguous results for European seabass and gilthead seabream in southern European countries in the literature. In this study, we investigate the existence of market integration between wild and farmed conspecifics for European seabass and gilthead seabream as well as several other key species in southern European countries.
Published quarterly since 1987, GLOBEFISH Highlights is a globally recognized point of reference for information and analysis on international markets for fisheries and aquaculture products. [Author] The publication contains a detailed quarterly update on market trends for a variety of major commodities. [Author] Combining the price information collected for the European Price Report with other market survey data collected by FAO GLOBEFISH, the report provides a detailed update on market trends for a variety of major commodities. [Author] Key market data are presented in a time series tabular or graphical form with a written analysis of trends and key events and news affecting commodities such as tuna, groundfish, small pelagics, shrimp, salmon, fishmeal and fish oil, cephalopods, bivalves and crustacea. [Author] Established in 1984, the FAO GLOBEFISH project has been providing governments, and national and international stakeholders with relevant data, information and knowledge on fish trade in order to assist them in designing and implementing efficient and inclusive market and trade strategies. [Author] These strategies contribute to the sustainable development of the fish trade sector (including the economic, social and environmental aspects) and, at the same time, contribute to improving food and nutrition security and strengthening livelihood opportunities and are directly linked to Strategic Objective 4.

The Codex Alimentarius, “the food code”, has a fundamental role in protecting consumers all around the world and ensuring fair practices in food trade. The Code of Practice for Fish and Fishery Products is the essential reference point for technical guidance on the harvesting, processing, transport and sale of fish and fishery products.

With the aid of 99 tables the paper attempts to outline the extremely complex pattern of regional and international trade in cured fish with a view to identifying market opportunities. Initial surveys concentrated on the small pelagic species but the study was extended to all cured fish, a definition which includes fish salted or unsalted, dried mechanically or naturally, presented dried or wet cured with or without the addition of vinegar or sugar. Summaries of the market situation are given for Ghana, Reunion, Equatorial Guinea, Zambia, Togo, Cameroon, Angola, USA, Mexico, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Australia and Fiji. More detailed country studies are included for Zaire, Nigeria, Congo, Mauritius, Tanzania, Egypt, Kenya, Haiti, The Caribbean, Brazil, Venezuela, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore.
Global fish production increased by an estimated 2.3 percent in 2017 and aquaculture harvests grew at a rate of 4–5 percent a year. In 2018, the global fish supply outlook is mixed and the threat of unexpected shocks due to extreme weather events persists.
The FAO Expert Workshop on Sustainable Use and Management of Artemia Resources in Asia was held in Tianjin University of Science and Technology, Tianjin, China, 6–9 November 2016. Over 40 delegates from different countries representing related disciplines of Artemia from research and academic institutions, development organizations, private sectors, ministries and FAO participated in this important event. Based on the workshop presentations and discussion, main conclusions and recommendations of the workshop were prepared during the Discussion and Roundup Session and the proposed actions were agreed. The workshop unanimously agreed that an urgent initiative to establish the Asian Regional Artemia Reference Centre (AR-ARC) be undertaken in Tianjin University of Science and Technology in close collaboration with all the concerned stakeholders within and outside the country to promote the sustainable use and improved management of the Artemia resources in the region.

The eighth session of the Scientific Advisory Group (SAG) of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC) was held in Merida, Mexico, on 3-4 November 2017. The Gulf and Caribbean Fisheries Institute (GCFI) hosted the session at the venue of its seventieth annual conference. The SAG discussed the outcomes of the work carried out by various joint working groups in 2016–2017 and their Recommendations to WECAFC 17. The SAG reviewed the status of the main fish stocks in Area 31 and discussed the impact of the increase in Fish Aggregating Device (FAD) fisheries on the current stock assessment methods used. The SAG further got updated on the functioning of the Interim Coordination Mechanism for Sustainable Fisheries, the WECAFC-FIRMS partnership and the activities of partner agencies in the region. A list of specific SAG Recommendations for the attention of WECAFC 17 is included in the preface of the report
Aquaculture is developing, expanding and intensifying in almost all regions of the world, except in sub-Saharan Africa. Although the sector appears to be capable of meeting the gap between future demand and supply for aquatic food, there are many constraints and challenges which must be addressed in order to at least maintain the present level of per capita consumption at the global level. Key issues are the need for enhanced enforcement of regulation and better governance of the sector, as well as greater producer participation in the decision-making and regulation process. This publication examines past trends in aquaculture development as well as the current global status, drawing on a number of national and regional reviews.
